		The Conservative leader, Michael Howard, removed the party whip last night from backbench MP Ann Winterton after she refused to apologise for making an offensive, tasteless and arguably racist joke about the drowned cockle pickers in Morecambe Bay.
		Nick Palmer, Labour MP for Broxtowe, was at the dinner at which Ms Winterton told the Chinese "joke", and said his hosts were shocked by her remarks.
		Ms Winterton avoided legal action over her earlier remarks, and is unlikely to face action over what will probably be regarded as a private event.
