A Green Party candidate standing in an upcoming London by-election has apologised after referring to Indian men having “rapey grins” in a post on social media.Esther Lie is standing in the Crofton Park ward by-election, the seat on Lewisham council left vacant by Liam Shrivastava who became the Green mayor of the borough on May 7.In a now-deleted tweet, she wrote: “Almost fancied the Indian guys at the swimming pool yesterday. Despite their thick prickly torsos and rapey grins.”

Labour accused the Green Party of repeatedly selecting “candidates with racist views” and vetting failures. In a statement, Ms Lie said: “This tweet was made 13 years ago, in response to a particular event that had happened to me whilst backpacking as a young person - and wasn't ever meant for public consumption. “Hence why I deleted it several years ago. It reflects the lack of constructive spaces for people facing sexual assault at the time. I think it is clearly inappropriate and I apologise.”
