A Labour MP has been stripped of the party whip after her husband was arrested on suspicion of spying for China.
Joani Reid, a rising star on Labour’s backbenches, was administratively suspended tonight after an investigation was launched by the party’s governance and legal unit.

A Labour Party spokesman said: “Joani Reid has agreed to fully cooperate with the Labour Party’s investigation into these matters.”
