Labour have suspended the Labour Councillor, Ricky Jones, who was front and centre at a not-so-peaceful anti-racist protest in Walthamstow yesterday. The protest came in response to the mass ‘far-right’ riots predicted to happen last night, though never really materialised…
A Labour spokesperson tells Guido:
“This behaviour is completely unacceptable and it will not be tolerated. The councillor has been suspended from the party.”
A quick response from Labour…
UPDATE: Jones has been arrested on suspicion of encouraging murder and remains in custody.
Paula Barker, Liverpool Wavertree MP backing Andy Burnham, told Times Radio there wouldn’t be trouble from the markets under Burnham:
“The markets will have to fall in line.”
