I haven't been on Bluesky, but I take it everyone's been cheering at Labour getting a pasting because it wasn't sufficiently socially liberal.

A newly elected Reform UK councillor has been suspended from the party following allegations of racism, according to one of its politicians.

Glenn Gibbins was elected to represent the Hylton Castle ward on Sunderland City Council on Thursday when Reform took control of the local authority.

Gibbins, who appeared as Gibbons on some party material, is accused of posting racist comments online.

Speaking on BBC's Politics North, deputy leader of Durham County Council Darren Grimes said Gibbins had been suspended from the party pending an investigation.
