“This Is A Death Threat” | Labour Council In Custody After Anti-Fascist Rant

The Metropolitan Police arrested a man in his 50s in south-east London on suspicion of encouraging murder after a video emerged of a Labour councillor calling for far-right protesters’ throats to be “cut”.

He had also been arrested for an offence under the Public Order Act following the incident in Kent.

A Labour spokesperson confirmed that Ricky Jones, a borough councillor in Dartford, Kent, has been suspended by the party in relation to the video.

Political commentator Theo Usherwood joins Talk’s Alex Phillips to discuss this further.

The women who wher cheering and clapping should be charged with racial hatred

The majority didn't vote labour and that's a fact

Kier needs to resign. The man arrested needs to be in prison for terror charges.

[stephennorris]

If this bloke isn't jailed then adds fuel to the fire of 2tier Stalins lies.

[theunspokentruth]

Starmer just needs to do the right thing and resign

[chrisharrison]

Needs to be locked up on terror charges

If only they could’ve stopped the boats as quick as they stopped the pensioners heating allowance

The Honeymoon maybe over but the nightmare isn’t

[hellsbells]

To think a Labour Councillor or any Councillor for that matter, would call for such violence, is absolutely
incomprehensible.
Any violence towards others is absolutely sickening but this is on another level.

I have voted Labour all my life, I took a dislike to starmer the first time I set eyes on him now I can't stand the sight of him, my vote went to reform 😊

[iancarrington]

Anyone who doesn’t approve of him must be far right

[deltafay]

Labour will NEVER take power again...of that i'm sure.

[andybez]

The only comuinty hes looking after is the Muslims

[colin]

So Starmer who won 30% of the vote, thinks he has a majority. How misguided he is. If you voted Labour, then you have no right to complain about any of their policies. You have made your bed...

[annbrannigan]

Will the M.P. BE locked up for 5 years for making death threats ???.

[patjohnson-um]

Can’t even watch or listen to Starmer. He’s no friend of the UK

[Buddy-ntrd]

Remember, while you are training for diversity and inclusion, someone else is training for war. When you meet, they will win.

[MargaretBrady-ex]

The crowd clapped after he said cutting people's throats! Absolutely appalling!

[johnallen]

No man (or woman) who is only supported by 20% of the electorate has any mandate to govern the country. If this happened in Africa we would be complaining about it in the UN.
