Coffee break fun: Kate Hoey airbrushes out her Lib Dem rival

Kate Hoey must be feeling threatened by her local Lib Dem candidate George Turner. As one of the most prominent advocates of Brexit in a heavily Remain voting constituency, (not to mention having to campaign on Jeremy Corbyn’s manifesto), her jacket is, shall we say, on a shoogly peg.

The other day, she tweeted a photo of an event at a school in her constituency. If you look in the back row, you will see Sarah Olney. Next to Sarah Olney is a pair of legs without a head. They belong to George Turner who has been airbrushed out.

Speaking to the Belfast Telegraph, George Turner said:

“I saw Kate tweeted and I thought it was a bit strange as I remembered standing on stage next to Sarah Olney. I was thinking: ‘Did I move?’ But all the time Kate spoke I was stood next to Sarah.

Lambeth riot

On Saturday night – Hallowe’en – the riot police were called to a massive illegal rave in Lambeth.  Some rather ugly scenes developed and a petrol bomb was thrown.

Simon Hughes’ former Head of Office, George Turner, lives opposite the site where the rave was held and gives a firsthand account of the incident in his blog, under the headline Nightmare on Whitgift Street.
