Jon Ashworth MP, Labour’s Shadow Cabinet Office Minister, responding to reports that Aidan Burley MP will stand down from Parliament at the general election, said:

“It shows huge weakness that David Cameron wasn’t prepared to take action against his disgraced MP, but it’s right that Aidan Burley has finally done the right thing in stepping down.

“After his behaviour at a stag party where a Nazi uniform was worn and the names of Nazi leaders were chanted, his position was completely untenable.”
