Kate Osamor resigns as shadow minister
Oddly having £2,500 worth of drugs on him and yet wasn't going to supply to others.
Drug supply councillor 'must resign'
Ishmael Osamor - son of Shadow International Development Secretary Kate Osamor - pleaded guilty to having £2,500-worth of drugs at last year's Bestival event in Dorset.
Osamor was caught trying to take ecstasy, cocaine, ketamine and cannabis into the festival in August 2017 - nine months before he was elected as a councillor.

Osamor had apparently previously claimed she knew nothing about Ishmael’s legal case until after the sentencing. It has since been reported that she must have been aware of the case before this because she had written to the trial judge asking for leniency.
Meanwhile, the National Union of Journalists condemned Osamor following allegations she threatened a reporter with a bat and threw a bucket of water at him.
Osamor told a reporter from the Times she should “smash his face in”, according to the newspaper.
She also reportedly told the reporter to “fudge off” and called police after accusing him of stalking. The journalist was attempting to speak to Osamor about the claims surrounding her son’s drug conviction.

And she then threatened to sue the organisation if the references returned.
