Paul Lorber accused Cllr Muhammed Butt, the current leader of Brent Council, of hypocrisy after he visited a community kitchen at Alperton Baptist Church, in Ealing Road, Wembley, on January 9. Cllr Butt was joined by fellow Brent councillors Trupti Sangani and Krupesh Hirani, as well as Harrow councillor Ajay Maru.
