Eric Joyce suspended from Labour Party after arrest on suspicion of assault It was claimed Mr Joyce "started lashing out" at people in the bar, which is for MPs and their guests. One of his victims was reported to be Stuart Andrew, a Conservative MP, while he was also alleged to have hit another Labour MP. The brawl was believed to have started after Mr Joyce, who has been convicted of drink-driving, apparently complained the bar was "full of Tories." Chuka Umunna, the Shadow Business Secretary, confirmed that Mr Joyce has been suspended over the "very serious matter."
