A Labour MP who was suspended for making misogynistic and homophobic comments online has said that he tried to kill himself three times afterwards.
Jared O’Mara was readmitted to the party last week, nine months after being suspended for his postings, many of which dated back several years.
Mr O’Mara, 36, who unseated Nick Clegg in Sheffield Hallam last year, has never spoken in the Commons. In an interview with ITV’s Calendar programme, he admitted that he had been an online troll, and said that his actions “came from a place of self-loathing, weakness and insecurity”.
‘I attempted suicide three times’: Sheffield MP Jared O’Mara reveals depths of depression during Labour suspension
The controversial Sheffield MP Jared O’Mara has revealed he suffered a mental breakdown and made three attempts on his life after being suspended from the Labour Party.
The MP for Sheffield Hallam had the whip withdrawn last October by Labour following the discovery of misogynistic and offensive comments he posted online in his twenties, and the allegation that he called a constituent an ‘ugly bitch’ weeks before polling day in 2017, but was readmitted to the party a week ago.

Sorry but I don’t believe a word he says ! He is clearly “not fit for purpose” in any way, shape or form to hold and fulfil the office of Member of Parliament and should stand down forthwith !
Time to go Jared !!
