A Knowsley Labour councillor prevented from contesting his seat in May’s elections has spoken out over what he calls the “ongoing silencing” of people on the left.
Cllr Crispin Evans, who has represented St Gabriel’s ward in Huyton for nearly four years was stopped from standing following a selection vote which took place earlier this month.
Labour sources told the ECHO Cllr Evans was deselected at the behest of the Knowsley party leadership because he “asked too many questions” and was “more on the left” of the party.
