LONDON — Labour MP Kelvin Hopkins has been suspended from the party last night following allegations of sexual misconduct.

Hopkins is accused of sending inappropriate text messages to a young woman and rubbing himself up against her at a political event in 2013, according to The Daily Telegraph.

"He hugged me to say goodbye, held me too tight and rubbed his crotch on me, which I found revolting," Ava Etemadzadeh, 27, told the paper.

They met at another event in parliament two years later at which she claims Hopkins asked her a series of personal questions. He then allegedly commented that if his office was not empty, he would have liked to have taken her there.
