NHS worker makes 'bullying' claim as she stands down as councillor

An NHS worker claimed she was standing down as a councillor due to “near constant bullying and egotism” in the Labour Party.

Cllr Clare O’Hagan works as a domestic assistant in the NHS and is a councillor in Rock Ferry on the Wirral but won't be seeking re-election in May after she pulled out of the race hours before the deadline for candidates in the upcoming elections.

She said this was because of alleged bullying within the North West branch of the Labour Party and controversy over the selection of party candidates in the area. She said her comments were not about the Wirral Labour Party or fellow councillors.
