"Lloyd Russell-Moyle, who represented Brighton Kemptown & Peacehaven from 2017 until 2024, was suspended over a complaint about his behaviour in May 2024. The former MP, who was not permitted to represent the party at the 2024 general election, said: "My old party has left behind millions of people who want hope." A Labour Party spokesperson said: "Labour is working every day to change the lives of working people for the better, not endlessly shouting from the sidelines.""
"The former MP announced in January that he was returning to the Labour Party months after the complaint that led to the suspension. The complaint, which he denied, was about his behaviour eight years prior. He said at the time he believed it a "vexatious and politically motivated complaint" and that he would be exonerated. The BBC understands that the Labour Party investigated the complaint and determined there was insufficient evidence and no further action would be taken."
Lloyd Russell-Moyle, who represented Brighton Kemptown & Peacehaven from 2017 to 2024, has joined the Green Party after being suspended by Labour over a complaint about his behaviour in May 2024. Labour investigated the complaint and found insufficient evidence, taking no further action. Russell-Moyle was not permitted to represent Labour at the 2024 general election and was replaced by Chris Ward. He previously stepped down as shadow environment minister in 2020 amid media pressure. Russell-Moyle said Labour had left millions seeking hope and urged others to join the Greens, a move welcomed by Green leader Zack Polanski.
