A LABOUR councillor has said her party blocked her from standing to become an MP in part because she had “liked” a tweet from First Minister Nicola Sturgeon.
Lauren Townsend, who represents Bletchley West on Milton Keynes City Council, hit out at the “unfair blocking” in a statement posted to Twitter late on Saturday.
She said that liking a tweet about Sturgeon testing negative for Covid-19 had been listed among the evidence put forward to stop her standing in Milton Keynes North at the next General Election.
