LABOUR mayor Philip Glanville partied with a paedophile councillor after learning he was under investigation for child sex offences, photos shared with the Morning Star reveal.

The deleted Facebook images show Hackney’s elected mayor taking a selfie at a Eurovision bash with his flatmate Tom Dewey on the night he was informed of his arrest by the council’s chief executive.

This evening, Hackney MP Diane Abbott said Mr Glanville should consider his position for lying in public office, as he had claimed he did not contact the high-flying member of the party’s right after being told of the police investigation into his crimes last May.
