Ex-Tameside council leader Ged Cooney suspended amid Labour WhatsApp scandal.

 

Councillor Ged Cooney

Ged Cooney, the former Tameside Council Labour leader has now been suspended from the Labour Party for allegedly sharing information about the 'Trigger Me Timbers' What's App Group with media outlets.

Councillor Cooney claims to have told regional Labour officials about the group over a year ago. Labour have denied this and say they acted decisively when they became aware of racist, sexist and anti-Semitic comments made by the group. The Tories have also put forward a motion of no confidence in the Labour appointed leader Councillor Eleanor Wills.
