Harvey Proctor has written to the Labour Party urging them to suspend Tom Watson over his role in the Operation Midland scandal, as he revealed he has received death threats following the conviction of fantasist Carl Beech.

In a letter to the Party's general secretary, Jenny Formby, the former Tory MP accused Mr Watson of breaching Labour's membership code and also bringing the party into disrepute.

Mr Watson has been widely criticised after it emerged he met Beech in Westminster and him to go to police with claims he had been abused by a VIP paedophile group.

Mr Proctor accused Labour's deputy leader of using the issue of child sexual abuse to promote his own interests and said he had used parliamentary privilege to infer the existence of a Westminster paedophile ring.

He is demanding that the West Bromwich East MP is suspended while a Labour Party investigation is carried out into his conduct, but has also threatened to stand against him in the seat at the next election if the matter is not resolved.
