Reform MP James McMurdock has had the whip removed over claims related to ‘business propriety during the pandemic’, the party has said.
The 39-year-old was elected as the MP for South Basildon and East Thurrock in Essex last year.
In a statement posted on X, fellow Reform MP Lee Anderson said: “I today received a call from James McMurdock who has advised me, as Chief Whip, that he has removed the party whip from himself pending the outcome of an investigation into allegations that are likely to be published by a national newspaper.
“The allegations relate to business propriety during the pandemic and before he became an MP.
“At Reform UK we take these matters very seriously and James has agreed to cooperate in full with any investigation.
“We will not be commenting any further at this moment.”
