Welsh Labour MP under investigation for homophobic bullying

A Labour MP is under investigation for homophobic bullying.

Carolyn Harris, the MP for Swansea East, is accused of physically and verbally bullying one of her aides, Jenny Lee Clarke, after she came out as a lesbian.

Harris allegedly pulled Clarke's hair and made comments about her "dyke" appearance as well as asking for details of her sex life.

Clarke has since been sacked by the MP and is taking action for unfair dismissal.
