Suspended Sheffield MP limits duties on advice of GP
The Sheffield Hallam MP, who was suspended by Labour in October over online remarks he made and an allegation that he called a Sheffield bar worker an 'ugly b***h' in March, has rarely been seen since the scandal broke.
The 36-year-old, who has apologised for his online remarks and denies the alleged incident in the bar, stepped down from the women and equalities select committee but resisted calls to resign.
