3:03Now PlayingA Deputy Chairman of the Tory party has been pictured campaigning with a convicted heroin dealer.
Labour accused the Stoke on Trent North MP, Jonathan Gullis, of hypocrisy and betraying victims of drugs crimes after a string of photos emerged of him alongside a notorious drugs kingpin.
Former trainee solicitor, Yasser Hussain, was jailed for eight years in 2006 after being found guilty of masterminding a drug gang in Stoke-on-Trent and beyond.
Cops seized 4kg of heroin with an estimated street value of £400,000 – and several others were jailed alongside him.
Speaking to Andrew Marr on Wednesday, Tory chairman Richard Holden responded to the images, saying he hadn't yet spoken to Mr Gullis, but implied that Mr Hussain had just happened to be there.
Nick Ferrari hears from LBC's Natasha Clark for the story.
