O'Mara has just been suspended from the Labour party after misogynist and homophobic online posts he's made online have come to light.

Knowing something of Jared "I wish I were a misogynist I'd smash her in the face" O'Mara's reputation round these parts (from when he ran West St Live) it is not unreasonable to expect that there is plenty more stuff on him still to come to light.

You wouldn't think it would be possible for Labour to find a worse MP than Clegg to represent the constituency I grew up in but they managed it! It's a major problem for Momentum as well as O'Mara was heavily backed by them.

MP Jared O'Mara has been suspended by Labour while it investigates misogynistic and homophobic comments he is alleged to have made.

On Monday, Mr O'Mara resigned from the women and equalities committee after political website Guido Fawkes unearthed offensive comments made by the 35-year-old MP online as a younger man.

The Guido Fawkes site has also found another post made by Mr O'Mara in his mid-20s, a review of an Arctic Monkeys gig, in which he calls women "sexy little slags".

And it has published details of a post to a music forum, allegedly made by Mr O'Mara in 2009, which includes offensive remarks about women.
