EALING MP AND COUNCIL LEADER FACING COURT ACTION OVER UNPAID RESTAURANT BILL Naughty Naughty Naughty Boys. The court papers say that southall mp Virendra Sharma and Councillor Julian Bell – who doubles up as the MP’s office manager – booked the Aroma Banqueting Suite for a central fundraising social through Sharma’s constituency office but never paid the £5,600 bill. Legal costs and interest have increased the amount claimed to £6877 to date. Locals claim that problems arose for the pair after Ealing Southall CLP (constituency Labour party) elected a new treasurer and new auditors in 2018. Sharma’s history with his CLP has been fraught with problems. Residents have protested for his removal and local members voted last year to ‘trigger’ the MP to begin a selection process for a potential replacement – but he was reprieved by the calling of a general election before the process was completed. Earlier in the year he had lost a no-confidence vote. #virendrasharma #Julianbell (at Southall, Slough, United Kingdom) https://www.instagram.com/p/B9rR56Nnolc/?igshid=1ae2x15vaqeul
