Labour activist shared neo-Nazi material, is still embraced by local party - and now elected council

Lots of Labour councillors lot their seat in North Derbyshire last week, some of whom are actually quite good. And then this clown gets elected. No wonder Labour folk are so demoralized at present.

A Labour activist who shared the claim “the Jews declared war on Germany in 1933” has been elected a councillor - amid confusion over whether she was even investigated over it despite numerous complaints.

Rachel Abbotts won a seat on High Peak Borough Council, Derbyshire in Thursday's elections, helping Labour take control of the council with a majority of one.

The JC has learned that complaints about the material Ms Abbotts shared online were sent to local Labour MP Ruth George, who said in February she had passed it on to the local and national party.

But it is understood the party's complaints unit claimed to have no record of receiving the material and is now investigating "urgently" after the JC made enquiries.
