Labour has ordered one of its MPs to delete a social media post arguing that Rishi Sunak's appointment "isn't a win for Asian representation".

Nadia Whittome, herself a second-generation British Indian, had said Mr Sunak was not on the side of working people, whatever their background.

But the message disappeared from her Twitter page on Wednesday after an intervention by party bosses.
