Sadiq Khan will be questioned over the controversial appointment of a Labour Party fundraiser to the position of Night Czar.

The Sunday Times reports that Amy Lamé, the Mayor’s new Night Czar, is the director of a fund that gives money to the Labour Party.

The Lionel Cooke Memorial Fund, which has reportedly handed Labour over £350,000, lists Amy Lamé as a director alongside the likes of Iain McNicol, the General Secretary of the Labour Party.

The news comes after it was revealed that Lamé had posted foul-mouthed content on social media. In one tweet she said: “F*&!* off @femfreshUK some of us just call it a c**t. why [sic] don’t you invent & market overpriced cock wash instead?”

Guido Fawkes also uncovered tweets from Lamé joking about her frustration with the Queen still being alive.

Lamé also tweeted that Ruth Davidson, Leader of the Scottish Conservative Party, was “scum” when she won an award from Stonewall, the LGBT equality charity.

The GLA Oversight Committee will announce its investigation into the Night Czar appointment this week, and those involved in the selection will be called before their next meeting on November 23rd to give evidence.

Speaking to the Sunday Times, Gareth Bacon AM, the Chairman of the Oversight Committee, said: “There is concern that the mayor has changed the rules in order to fit the post to Ms Lamé . . . We will need to be satisfied that she was appointed on merit.”

A City Hall spokesman told the paper that they had “run an open and rigorous application process . . . and Amy Lamé was the most qualified candidate”.
