    Labour leader arrested and cautioned for assaulting his stepdaughter

    Manchester council leader Sir Richard Leese has stepped down with immediate effect after being arrested and cautioned for assaulting his stepdaughter.

    He said in a statement today: "I've asked the Labour group and party to allow me a necessary period of time out, as long as is needed, to resolve serious family issues."

    Richard spent nearly 20 hours in custody after being arrested on Monday night. Police were called to his home in Crumpsall after receiving a call claiming a 16-year-old girl had been assaulted.

    He was taken to Pendleton Police station in Salford where he spent the night before being questioned by officers.

    It is understood he accepted a caution after striking his stepdaughter during a row, causing a small injury to her ear. Accepting a caution is an admission of guilt.

    Greater Manchester Police said: “At 11pm on Monday police were called to a house in Crumpsall, following allegations a 16-year-old girl had been assaulted.
    “Police attended and spoke to the girl, who had sustained a very minor injury to her ear.

    “A 58-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of common assault and has been cautioned.”

    He didn't assault any one on the street, he probably got wound up by a lippy teenager but shouldn't have clipped her round the ear. Mountain out of a mole hill? You post in total anonymity like the Scarlet Pimpernel. L.o.l

Then there are the comments of put him in the dock from the send him to jail brigade. Now lets put it another way, headline "man gets put in jail for clipping naughty child around the ear". We would be reading all the posts about the injustice of it all and how the judges send descent folk to jail for dealing with their unrully children. The only reason for some of the comments on here are to bash a man that has at least tried to do thing to make a diference to the lives of the people in this city (granted not always well received) but never the less he has tried which is probably more than most of the posters on here.
    Sums it up.

    It is a personal family matter and only the family are aware of details. Leave it alone.

They will not Force us, they will stop degrading us, they will not control us, we will be victorious

    Re: Labour leader arrested and cautioned for assaulting his stepdaughter

    Newspresenter continues to present news in a worthwhile and content-filled manner. The irony is of course that should the party he supports ever come to power, what this bloke did would not be a criminal offence anyway. So on the one hand, he is a 'Labour thug' and the other hand the law is wrong and should be changed. Its called a fascist cricle I think
    Democracy is the recurrent suspicion that more than half of the people are right more than half of the time.

    What do you tell a lippy teenage girl with two black eyes?








    Nothing. You've already told her twice.
