Paul Flowers, Labour councillor for Bradford Council and former Co-operative Bank chairman, has been suspended by the Labour Party after reportedly being caught buying cocaine.
Flowers was caught on video allegedly handing over £300 to buy cocaine last weekend by his acquaintance Stuart Davies, who told the Mail on Sunday that he was disgusted by the hypocrisy of the act by the Methodist preacher.
Flowers has apologised for his actions, but Labour has suspended him from his role as councillor.
