A Tory councillor in East Riding, and a campaigner for Vote Leave, posted to Facebook today: ‘I have just donated the steam of my p*ss’ with a link to the Jo Cox memorial fund page.

Dominic Peacock is part of the Beverly and Holdnerness Conservatives

His post was captured in a screenshot on Twitter.

After severe online criticism, Political Scrapbook understands he then deleted it and posted an apology.

UPDATE 1: We understand he has now been suspended. This is by a BBC political reporter:

UPDATE 2: Statement from Cllr Stephen Parnaby OBE, Leader, East Riding of Yorkshire Council & Leader, Conservative Group

Following inappropriate and offensive comments made on social media relating to the sad and tragic death of Jo Cox MP, I have suspended Cllr Dominic Peacock from the East Riding of Yorkshire Council Conservative Group with immediate effect. I shall be reporting this to a meeting of the full Group and my recommendation will be that he be expelled.

Mr Peacock says he won’t say anything more:

Cllr Peacock told me he has unreservedly apologised and has no further comment to make. https://t.co/P5L2bCeDYd — Katy Austin (@KatyAustinNews) June 21, 2016
