TWO Sun journalists have been reprimanded for brawling at a Westminster bar on boozy nights between publications.

A third journo scrappped with a photographer during a separate drink-fuelled overnight session.

In the first incident, the sports editor and politics reporter had been niggling each other after a terrible day at the Levinson inquiry.

Then punches were thrown as the team unwound at the Westminster bar. One of the journos was immediately suspended by News International bosses.

The second incident last month involved a New International executive drinking at a hotel bar in Manchester.

The executive, who earns up to £1,000,000 a year, is believed to have thought a UK news reporter called a female gossip columnist “a prostitute”.

He chased him and then punched him in front of colleagues. The woman later told the executive she had been joking with her newsroom pal.

A News International source told Flyertalk: “Staff are encouraged to enjoy themselves, hack phones for stories and relax in rest times but reports attacking each other and other columnists is a big no-no.”

A News International spokesman last night confirmed both the editor in Westminster and the one in Manchester had been suspended.
