A Tory council leader has delivered a scathing broadside against his party's deputy chairman Lee Anderson, branding him a "carpet-bagger".
Gio Spinella, who heads the Conservative group at Camden Council in North London, hit out at the loudmouth MP and admitted that all parties have "peculiar figures".
He made the remarks after Mr Anderson - who reportedly this week told a Tory councillor to "come outside and sort it out" during an "aggressive" row with another MP - was invited to meet party members in the borough.
