I understand that Cllr Aslam Choudhary (Dudden Hill ward) has now been suspended from Brent Council Labour Group after posting a video containing comments on Jewish control of America. This happened on Friday and is the fifth removal from the Labour group in six month period, a very short time.
It will not result in an immediate election because of the virus legislation and the distinction between being a Group member and a councillor.
UPDATE 5.5.20
I now have learnt that Cllr Choudhary is suspended as a Labour member, and is likely to be removed from his committee posts, but he is still allowed to attend Labour Group meetings. This all seems rather strange.
