The photo showing that Labour mayor Philip Glanville continued to associate with child sex abuse convict Tom Dewey after hearing he was under investigation
HACKNEY Mayor Philip Glanville has been suspended by Labour after the Morning Star published a photo of him partying with a former councillor — and rising figure of the party’s right — who had been arrested for possessing images of child abuse.
Mr Glanville faced increasing calls to resign last night after being exposed for lying in public office about having no contact with his flatmate Tom Dewey since learning of his arrest for child sex offences.
He apologised for an “error of judgement” after the photo showed him taking a selfie at a Eurovision bash with Dewey — hours after he had been informed of the arrest by the council’s chief executive.
