He has been suspended pending a report by the party’s NEC. Guido understands a Labour MP wrote to General Secretary Iain McNicol earlier this week asking for Fisher to be investigated See all Guido’s stories on Fisher here…

UPDATE: Statement from Caroline Flint MP and Siobhain McDonagh MP:

“We are pleased that without fear or favour the Labour Party is enforcing its rules. These rules must apply equally to all members whether they deliver leaflets, are elected representatives or are staff in the Leader’s office. On behalf of those hard working members who were offended by Mr Fisher’s activities which included supporting a candidate against Labour in May, it is only right that the General Secretary has initiated an enquiry.”
