Burnley Congressman Oliver Ryan was then suspended, saying he made a comment that “I am very sorry”.
A Labour spokesman said: “A group of MPs has been suspended in the Labour administration as part of our WhatsApp group investigation.
“Once we were caught, a thorough investigation was conducted in line with the rules and procedures of Labour and the process was underway.
