Labour suspends candidate who was expelled from the Lib Dems

The Cambridge News reports:

Labour’s candidate for South East Cambridgeshire John Cowan has been suspended by his party – after a fresh series of allegations about his conduct.

The latest claims about him, in a Sunday newspaper, say he boasted of his sexual exploits in online forums, and advertised for people to pose naked for his photographic portfolio.

The Sunday Telegraph also reported that Mr Cowan, a former glamour model manager, said he did not want his children to marry a Muslim.

The latest allegations follow revelations that Mr Cowan, 35, sent sexual emails to female figures in politics.

As the News reported last week, he was thrown out of the Liberal Democrats in 2004, and tried to join the Conservatives before becoming a member of the Labour Party.
