A Liverpool councillor has been expelled from the Labour Party.
Cllr David Cummings has represented the Wavertree ward on Liverpool Council since 2015. In 2019 he was suspended by the party after a string of complaints from women within the party. He was also suspended from the Labour whip on Liverpool Council and has been sitting separately from his colleagues in the council chamber ever since.
Cllr Cummings has also received two criminal convictions during his time as an elected member. In January 2020 he was found guilty of criminal damage after breaking CCTV cameras installed at the social housing block where he lived.
