Coyle has courted controversy throughout his time in parliament, after being found to be abusive to constituents,[1] racist to journalists,[2] and guilty of bullying Labour parliamentary staff.[3] He has blamed his conduct on alcoholism. Coyle was suspended by Labour and banned from Parliament's bars for six months. Despite complaints from local party members, he controversially had the whip reinstated in May 2023.[4] Since 2023 Coyle has pledged to be teetotal.
