Ex capo delle comunicazioni laburista sospeso per legami con autori di reati sessuali

> Lord Doyle, Sir Keir Starmer’s former director of communications, has been suspended from Labour’s parliamentary party over his links with a convicted sex offender.

> The peer said he would not take the Labour whip and apologised for his past association with Sean Morton, a former Labour councillor in Moray who admitted indecent child image offences in 2017.

> It comes after the Sunday Times reported that Lord Doyle campaigned for Morton after he was charged with possessing and distributing indecent images of children in December 2016.

> The party is undertaking an investigation and Lord Doyle’s Labour whip in the House of Lords has been withdrawn while this is ongoing.

This is now the fourth, possibly the fifth Labour politician implicated in sex crimes within a one-year period.

The press have started Noticing, so this could get real messy, given there’s several other convicted peados with links to Labour that have been very much ignored by the press as well as child abuse cover ups and PIE if they feel like looking at more historic stuff.

If they feel like pushing on this, it’ll look really bad for Labour.
