Two updates:
- Andrew Pelling – the Conservative MP arrested on suspicion of assaulting his wife – has announced he is standing down at the next general election.
- Miranda Grell – the Labour councillor convited of smearing her Liberal Democrat opponent as a paedophile – has quit as an aide to Labour London Assembly member (and Deputy Mayor) Nicky Gavron.

Looks like a Waltham Forest Liberal Councillor is going to match both of these.
A LIBERAL Democrat councillor who is accused of assaulting his wife has had the party whip withdrawn.
Imran Abrahim, member for Forest ward since last May, will not undertake any public duties on behalf of the party.
The 31-year-old was arrested at his home in Knotts Green Road, Leyton, on Sunday and later charged with common assault.
