LEYTON: Labour consider their relationship with Miranda Grell
MIRANDA Grell's future in the Labour Party is in doubt.
Grell is facing expulsion from the party after her appeal against a conviction for smearing an electoral rival failed yesterday.
Dr Greg Eglin, chairman of Leyton and Wanstead Constituency Labour Party, said: "This is very serious for Miranda Grell. She has been suspended since charges were first brought, and the party will now consider her future.
"The case has been about the conduct of one member. Labour's record is one of promoting gay and lesbian rights, and we affirm our commitment to opposing discrimination in all forms."
Grell works as an aide to Labour Greater London Authority member Nicky Gavron, but was suspended following her conviction in September.
She was also suspended as a councillor in September after being found guilty of making false statements about another candidate under the Representation of the People Act.
Although the Labour Party was believed to have initially agreed to pay the £30,000 appeal costs, more recent reports suggest they withdrew the offer after taking legal advice.

It is essential to get New Labour out of Downing Street. They are the most corrupt, incompetent, shocking government I have ever seen at the helm of my country.
Under this awful government, so-called asylum seekers and other foreigners are flocking to Britain. They don't claim asylum in other European countries because they all want to come to soft touch Britain where they will get put to the front of the queue before British people for housing, people who have paid into the system for years! In addition, they walk all over us: mosques are springing up like never before and Muslims suicide bomb us and call us evil - but they're only too happy to claim the full range of benefits available! I'm sick of the loathsome lefties eroding our culture and way of life and will definitely be voting for the BNP at the next election as I see them as the only hope for claiming our country back. Currently, white British people are made to feel like second-class citizens in their own country. There's no freedom of speech either unless it's for the foreigner.
Next, there are services which are in chaos. Water shortages in summer are becoming far more common and migrants breeding like rabbits will double our population reportedly by 2080. We have hosepipe bans in the summer - people are going to die because of all the extra people! What about the rising burden on the NHS? How about the fact fifty different languages will be spoken in schools and the impact on communication and education? There's also going to be far more houses needed. Think of all those extra houses having to be built on floodplains - because of demand by foreigners. For Goodness' sake, we're heading for Muslim Sharia law in this country.
