Long-serving Labour MP Nick Brown resigns over 'flawed' complaints process, denies 25-year-old allegation
- Long-serving Labour MP Nick Brown is resigning from the party and will stand down as MP for Newcastle East at the next election
- Brown had the party whip suspended last year due to a complaint made against him from 25 years ago, which he strongly denies
- Brown says the Labour party's disciplinary process is "fundamentally and inexcusably flawed" and he can't engage with it further
- The 73-year-old has been an MP since 1983 and served as chief whip under multiple Labour leaders
- Brown remains angry at Labour's complaints process, says the allegations will now never be proved or disproved, and he may never know precise details
