TORY MP Conor Burns has had the whip suspended following complaints about his behaviour at this week’s party conference.

The trade minister tells the Sun that “he will fully cooperate with the investigation and looks forward to clearing his name.”

Conor Burns

He has been the MP for Bournemouth West since 2010 and was a close ally of Boris Johnson during his premiership.

The Conservatives’ annual conference took place in Birmingham from last Sunday to Wednesday.

Earlier this year the Tories stripped the whip from Chris Pincher after the Sun revealed allegations he drunkenly groped two men in a club.
