A long-serving Liverpool Labour Councillor claims he is a victim of a "purge" of Jeremy Corbyn supporters after he was blocked from standing for the party again.
Cllr Gerard Woodhouse, who has represented the County ward in north Liverpool since 2010, has lost an appeal against a decision made late last year to block him from standing again as a Labour Councillor in May's local elections.
Cllr Woodhouse is well known around the city for his work running the L6 Community Centre in Everton, which operates a foodbank and provides other essentials to families living in some of the most deprived communities in the city and country.
