Ricky Jones was filmed during a protest in east London, with the crowd cheering as he appeared to gesture slitting his throat.
Labour have suspended a local councillor who told a protest that fascists needed to have their throats cut. Ricky Jones, a local councillor in Dartford in Kent since 2019, was filmed giving a speech at a protest in Walthamstow, east London, surrounded by protesters. He told the crowd that members from the TSSA transport union, which he is a member of, 'had to go home on trains and take stickers off the trains with razor blades on the back of them'.
He will no longer be able to sit as a Labour councillor as he has had the Labour whip removed, so will sit as an independent. A Labour spokesman said: 'This behaviour is completely unacceptable and it will not be tolerated. 'The councillor has been suspended from the party.' Sky News has contacted Mr Jones and the TSSA for a comment.
