Labour Suspends MP Alaba Amid Questions Over Pandemic Loan Transparency

Labour suspended MP Bayo Alaba after The Times raised questions about bounceback loans — government-backed pandemic emergency loans — tied to his businesses. Alaba confirmed taking two and says he is repaying them, but declined to name the companies or confirm they met eligibility criteria. Two 2022 attempts to dissolve his company Alaba Properties Ltd were blocked. He referred himself to Labour's investigation.
