Labour MP and PPS to John McDonnell Karen Lee has been roundly criticised for wishing Fidel Castro a happy birthday on Twitter.

She tweeted the message to the deceased dictator, writing: "Happy birthday Fidel", and linking to the Twitter of the Cuba Solidarity Campaign.

Nigel Adams MP was among those who condemned the MP for Lincoln, writing: "I'm not sure the families of the thousands he had executed or the gay Cubans he imprisoned would be wishing him happy birthday.."
