Newham council rebuked for 'aggressive' homeless mums response

LABOUR's London Assembly housing spokesman scolded Newham Borough Council leaders yesterday for being “unnecessarily aggressive” with campaigning homeless mums.

Tom Copley challenged Labour colleagues as the mums descended on a meeting of the east London council last night.

Newham council is led by Labour Mayor Robin Wales and Labour holds all 60 council seats.
