Template:Use British English John Roderick Mutton (20 September 1947 – 15 May 2022) was a British politician. He was the Labour group leader on Coventry City Council from May 2003[1] until May 2013, Leader of Coventry City Council from 2010 to 2013[2] and Lord Mayor of Coventry in 1997.[3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10]
In 2010, John Mutton told The New York Times, regarding British government cuts in spending: "It feels like they’re just sticking a finger in the air and guessing."[11]
Mutton lost his position as Labour group leader in May 2013 in a leadership election that was won by Ann Lucas,[12][13][14][15] which had been predicted.[16] After losing the election, he became a member of a special committee appointed to oversee the Ricoh Arena.[17]
In 2013, Mutton started an e-mail chain amongst Labour Party members making jokes about Margaret Thatcher's funeral. When the e-mail was made public he was forced by the national party leaders to make an apology.[18]
John Mutton died Sunday 15 May 2022, having only been reelected as a councillor the same month.[19]
