"Tom O'Carroll, ex-head of Paedophile Information Exchange which campaigned to lower the age of sexual consent to 10, has been suspended by Labour."

"The Times reported that Mr O'Carroll joined the party in Barrow-in-Furness after Jeremy Corbyn became leader."

"The constituency MP, John Woodcock, and deputy leader Tom Watson were among those to say he was not welcome."

"A Labour spokesman said: `Tom O'Carroll has been suspended from the Labour Party`."

Mr Woodcock had tweeted on Tuesday that he was "dismayed" Mr O'Carroll had joined the party, and said he had written to Labour's general secretary, Iian McNicol to ask for him to be banned for life.
