A former Labour councillor in Wirral is now challenging the party as an independent candidate after she was deselected.
Yvonne Nolan, a councillor for Rock Ferry since 2019, claims she was dropped by Labour ahead of next month's elections for speaking out against alleged discrimination aimed at fellow councillor Chris Davies.
Cllr Davies was barred from running for not meeting party campaign requirements outside of Rock Ferry but said this was because he’s a carer for Cllr Nolan. Cllr Nolan said she was later dropped for publicly criticising Labour on the issue.
