Mayor of Liverpool Joanne Anderson has slammed a "disgusting" tweet from a Liverpool Councillor and reported him to the council.
Mayor Anderson responded to comments made on twitter by Cressington Councillor Sam Gorst, who is a member of the Liverpool Community Independents group on the council.
It appears that Cllr Gorst had responded to tweets from a parody account set up to impersonate Labour councillor Nick Small. In response, Cllr Gorst said: "I thought you blocked my Nicky boy. How's your bird these days? Is she still tormenting those with mental illness and covering up her nastiness by painting the picture of being a homelessness champion for a nice slot in the Echo?"
