Jackie Weaver did not “have the authority” to mute and eject councillors for a virtual council meeting, according to new reports.
Clips from a Handforth Parish Council meeting went viral after being uploaded to Twitter in February last year. Stand-in clerk Jackie Weaver became an internet sensation after the footage garnered six million views.
She removed former chairman Brain Tolver from the meeting after he challenged her “authority”. The video call then descended into chaos with arguments and shouting.
