Conservative politician accused of threatening charity

Adam Bienkov has the story which involves, surprise surprise, Conservative London Assembly member Brian Coleman:

Boris Johnson’s fire chief was questioned by police this week after a woman accused him of a threatening and “intimidating” phone call.

Independent candidate Linda Edwards, who runs a charity linked to Barnet council claims Brian Coleman warned it would:

“suffer after the election” because of her candidacy and added it is “now open season for everyone to have a knock at you and [your charity] The Larches will suffer…“After the call I felt he was trying to get me to pull out and not stand for the council. I was so worried by the threats he made about the charity and me.”Edwards is one of a group of twelve independents standing against “the direction of some of the Council’s policies and its failure to listen to local people.”

More details of these events are over on Adam’s blog.
