David Silvester

A UKIP councillor who blamed recent storms and flooding on the legalisation of gay marriage has been expelled from the party.

Town councillor David Silvester, from Henley-on-Thames, Oxfordshire, was suspended by the party on 19 January.

Mr Silvester made his comments in a letter to his local newspaper, the Henley Standard.

Henley-on-Thames Town Council will hold a meeting later to discuss the fallout around his comments.
