As it is after Noon on April 1st I can confirm that this was an April Fool.
Muhammed Butt poses for the cameras after being offered new role
Brent Council leader, Muhammed Butt, was yesterday appointed to a part-time role as head of a government task force on 'mobile entertainment'.
Government sources said that funfairs, circuses and outdoor pop festivals were a neglected area of potential growth that could add thousands of pounds to local economies and utilise under-used parks and open spaces.
A Brent funfair that took place last summer
Butt's experience in Brent was cited as a key factor in his appointment. He told Wembley Matters, 'Fortunately I have direct access to one of the most experienced and successful entrepreneurs in the field and I am sure they will help me add value to my role. I look forward to the Brent model spreading across the country and contributing to Labour's commitment to growing the UK economy.'
He added, 'It is an honour to work for Sir Keir who I think is the greatest Labour leader since Sir Stafford Cripps.'
Recently Brent Council came close to securing a lucrative contract with a Korean Pop Festival company. Although the K-Pop Festival was postponed, Stage 1 Licensing Permission was granted by Brent Licensing Sub-committee and subject to conditions is expected to take place in 2026. LINK
Muhammed Butt's appointment is not expected to affect his role as Leader of Brent Council.

Labour are now so desperate that they will appoint any incompetent "clown" at taxpayers expense to add to the collection of fools at No.10
BUTT to do this on 1 April is surely very poor timing???
This is clearly an April Fools Joke.
I could almost be true
Check the date before you reply, !
Butt has a role at Brent Council? I thought the council was just his play toy.
I'm hoping this is just for 1 April, not for real. (But a clever work of fiction!)
I'm lovin it
Public Message For Sir Keir
"Please do us all a favour. Appoint Councillor M Butt as your special business envoy to Siberia on a full time basis for at least 10 years. The people of Brent will be delighted to be free of him and his family. If you deliver on our wish we will for ever treat 1 April as your special day!"
Yours beggingly
The People of Brent
Surely not? What a disappointment.
You’re clearly the clown
Give us a break Martin! Don't we get enough smiling Mo Butt photos from Brent Council?
Neither Councillor Butt (Chair of the Barham Park Trust Committee ) or his Brother (Vice Chair of the Planning Committee) have ever declared any relationship with George Irvin of Irvin Funfairs.
The recent Statements on this site that George Irvin attended the wedding (and presumably bore gifts) of one of the Butt family members (which would have to be declared) is clearly false.
I am sure that senior Brent Officers are aware of the allegation and would have advised Councillor Butt (and others) of the importance of declaring any gifts or relationship that might possibly have influenced the way they voted on Barham Planning Applications or the lifting of the restrictive covenant which would be very valuable to George Irvin and his family. Sometimes we have to trust our politicians and not automatically assume that brown envelopes are flying about. Unless of course someone can prove otherwise.
If the gift was made directly to his son would Cllr Butt have to declare it?
oh wow i just realised this was an april fool; its so believable because he is basically doing this with all his array of undeclared gifts commented as being "light on detail" by the auditor who spoke at cabinet and not to mention the array of other deeply concerning and questionable movements by Mr Butt , it seems only too likely that is was real appointment! you got me! 🤣
That the reason
