MP sacked as shadow work and pensions secretary after party investigation of allegationsThe Labour frontbencher Debbie Abrahams has been sacked from the shadow cabinet after an investigation into workplace bullying. The shadow work and pensions secretary, who had been suspended, has now been referred to Labour NEC’s disputes committee over the allegations. A party spokesman said: “After a thorough party investigation into allegations of workplace bullying, Debbie Abrahams has been referred to the NEC disputes committee. Labour said in March that Abrahams had “stood aside from her frontbench role while the Labour party investigates an employment issue”. Abrahams, who held the work and pensions role since 2016, has strongly denied the claims.
