"At the start of every meeting, the Mayor reminds us of the need for civility. Councillor Ron Mushiso alleged he had been sworn at At the start of this council term, both political groups even brought forward a joint motion on Debate Not Hate'. Clearly, it's one rule for Labour councillors, and another rule for everyone else. Residents rightly expect the highest standards from elected councillors, and also expect that their representatives will be able to go about the job they've been elected to do without fear of abuse. Cllr Dunne must urgently apologise for her behaviour and reflect on whether someone who acts in this way can continue as a cabinet member."
"I've been sworn at, in the public meeting by Cllr Dunne."
Cllr Katherine Dunne, Cabinet Member for Climate, Environment and Transport at Hounslow Council, is accused of telling Cllr Ron Mushiso to "f*** off" during a full council meeting. Cllr Dunne has said she does not recall making the comment and has denied it happened. The Mayor, Cllr Amy Croft, paused and adjourned the meeting for five minutes amid heckling and interruptions, and directed Cllr Mushiso to raise the allegation with the monitoring officer after the meeting. Hounslow Conservatives say Dunne should resign and demand an apology, citing expectations of civility and high standards for elected councillors.
