Mayor squares up to homeless mums
Newham boss launches violent rant against housing activists
SHOCKING footage came to light yesterday of a testosterone-fuelled east London mayor squaring up to a young homeless mum campaigning for decent housing.
The Morning Star was shown a video of Newham Mayor Robin Wales shouting at single mothers and housing campaigners handing out leaflets highlighting their eviction from the Focus E15 hostel.
Mum-turned-social housing campaigner Sam Middleton told the Star that the Labour mayor “was very rude” when she attempted to hand out leaflets at the public fair.
