In posts made on music messageboards Mr O'Mara described gay men as “fudge packers” and said that overweight people did not “deserve our respect.”
He also said it would be “quite funny” if Jamie Cullum was “sodomised with his own piano”.
Mr O’Mara concedes that he made these remarks and says that he has since been on ‘a journey of education’ but disputes the claim that he called Sophie Evans, one of his constituents, an ‘ugly bitch’ earlier this year.
The suspension comes after Mr O’Mara voluntarily stepped down from the Women’s and Equality Select Committee yesterday.
