The teacher whose pupils complained that Conservative MP Aidan Burley was "disrespectful" during a talk by a Holocaust survivor is also a Labour councilor.

Dr Suzannah Reeves has been named as the staff member who identified Mr Burley as the MP who joined the pupils at a talk by an Auschwitz survivor in Poland.

Dr Reeves is a Labour councillor for Old Moat in Manchester, as well as being a history and politics teacher at Oldham Sixth Form College.

According to Politics Home, she was one of the people in charge of the group that Mr Burley joined for the talk earlier this week.
