The leader of Brent Council has resigned as the lead member for equalities at a cross-party organisation after he shared a Facebook post that called the Israel a terrorist state.

“This is a lesson to make sure that people you have on your Facebook page are your actual friends.”

Cllr Butt went on to send an email to all councillors in Brent advising them to check their privacy settings on their Facebook pages.
