I was shocked today to read an allegation in Labour's 'Leyton Matters' that Councillor Bob Sullivan "does not believe that young people from Leyton should study or succeed." Is it legal to make such a clearly untrue claim?

I'm not a Liberal Democrat myself, but I do know that Bob has worked tirelessly, week in, week out, for many years serving the people of Leyton. He celebrates their achievements, whatever their age, creed or background. He does not deserve this slur and it reflects very poorly on the Labour party.
