Liberal Democrat London Assembly Member Caroline Pidgeon and Councillor Ed Butcher, Lib Dem Fire Leader, walked out of today's budget meeting of the London Fire and Emergency Planning Authority (LFEPA). This was in protest at the decision of the Tories prohibiting the filming of the disgraced Councillor, Bertha Joseph, who was present and voting for the half billion pound budget.
Caroline Pidgeon commented:
"The Tories want to hide their shameful secret from the public that today's Budget was passed due to the support of Councillor Joseph - someone who has been found guilty of serious wrongdoing and is unable to act as a councillor in her own borough.
"This is simply wrong and the Liberal Democrats want no part of this. It brings the Authority and the Mayor into disrepute."
"It is time that the Mayor took decisive action and sacked Bertha Joseph".
