A former Ipswich MP has said that he is "deeply disappointed" after being removed from the Conservative Party.
Tom Hunt, who was the MP for Ipswich from 2019 to 2024, said that he seeking "legal advice" after news broke on Monday of his expulsion.
Guido Fawkes, an online British politics blog, reported that a Conservative spokesman confirmed the news.
The spokesman said: “Tom Hunt has been expelled from the Conservative Party following a complaints process.
"This process is rightly confidential."
In response, Mr Hunt said: "I am deeply disappointed by this provisional decision.
"I have strongly refuted the complaint from the start and continue to do so.
"I am currently seeking legal advice so it would be inappropriate for me to comment further at this stage. It's a confidential process."
Mr Hunt, 36, claimed the Ipswich seat for the Tories back from Labour's Sandy Martin in the 2019 general election with a majority of 5,479.
Last year, Mr Hunt admitted that he admires Reform UK's Nigel Farage and Richard Tice, but campaigned for a Conservative seat in the general election, which he lost to Labour's Jack Abbott.
