Corbyn aide Andrew Fisher suspended by Labour Party

Last Updated: November 7, 2015By

Jeremy Corbyn has said he has “full confidence” in Mr Fisher.

Mr Fisher’s appointment is one of a number to Mr Corbyn’s close circle that have proved controversial among Labour MPs.

The economist and former trade union official posted a tweet in August 2014, which has since been deleted, saying “if you live in Croydon South, vote with dignity, vote @campaignbeard” – the Twitter name of the Class War party candidate.

Class War, an anarchist group, has suggested that there is “no difference” between any of the Westminster parties.

Labour’s official candidate in Croydon South, Emily Benn, granddaughter of Mr Corbyn’s political mentor Tony Benn, lodged a formal complaint about the tweet.

Mr Fisher, who has deleted his Twitter account, also reportedly posted messages attacking former leader Ed Miliband’s front bench and celebrating ex-shadow chancellor Ed Balls losing his seat at the general election.

    I’m from Croydon, Andrew Fisher is labour to the bone even when he disagreed with the party. Emily Benn should think long and hard about her grandfather’s memory

      I stand with Andrew too because he represents real Labour and knows what he is talking about. Read his book.

    What a to-do.

    Patrick Robert John Rock de Besombes, a former policy director personally chosen by David Cameron (conservative) with an office in Downing Street until the evening before his arrest for making indecent images of children, will not face trial until 31 May 2016, 27 months later.
