North London: A Labour canvasser is in hot water after a video surfaced. In it, he seems to blame a stalking victim for rising council tax. This has stirred up quite a bit of drama.
The video shows the canvasser telling a resident that a recent resignation from the Liberal Democrats is causing the tax hike. He claims it’s costing everyone money. This resignation was from Anton Georgiou, who stepped down due to personal issues, including being a stalking victim.
As the by-election approaches, the Labour group is facing backlash. They say the comments made by the canvasser don’t represent their views. But the damage is done, and accusations of ‘dirty tricks’ are flying.
Paul Lorber, the new leader of the Brent Liberal Democrats, is calling out Labour for their tactics. He believes they’re trying to unsettle Liberal supporters. He’s focused on real issues like dirty streets and traffic problems instead of playing games.
The Green Party is also stepping in, saying they won’t run a candidate in the by-election. They want to support the Lib Dems and highlight the circumstances of Georgiou’s resignation. They’re calling Labour’s approach ‘dirty tricks’ too.
In response, a Brent Labour spokesperson said the comments from the canvasser don’t reflect their views. It’s clear this situation is heating up, and everyone is watching closely.
