LABOUR MP, Member of Parliament, Joani Reid has resigned from the party as an internal investigation takes place after her husband was arrested on suspicion of spying for China.
The MP’s husband David Taylor is understood to be among the three men nabbed by Counter Terror police on suspicion of assisting foreign intelligence.
Ms Reid has now confirmed she is “voluntarily suspending myself from the whip” and “will not sit as a Labour MP” until the internal investigation has concluded.
In a statement shared on X this evening, she wrote: “This week has been the worst of my life. The shock of recent days has been difficult for me and my family.
