A Welsh Liberal Democrat county council candidate has been suspended from the party over an anti-Semitic video posted on TikTok. Little Brighouse, a candidate for Disserth and Trecoed with Newbridge-on-Wye in Powys was suspended after the party was made aware of a video shared online last year, which featured a burning Israeli flag.
Brighouse was elected to Powys County Council and Disserth & Trecoed Community Council on Friday, after winning 290 of the 663 votes cast in their ward. For the latest election results and updates from across Wales, click here.
However, following their election as a Liberal Democrat, Brighouse will now serve as an independent for the foreseeable future. The party confirmed on Friday that their candidate had been suspended from the party while the complaint was full investigated.
