A Conservative councillor in Nottinghamshire says he will be appealing a decision to expel him from the party after a Twitter account belonging to him was found to have liked 'explicit images'. It is claimed he was 'hacked'.
Nottinghamshire county councillor Nigel Turner, who represents Worksop South, was expelled from the Conservative Party at the beginning of May but the exact reason for this was not announced. In a Facebook post, posted on May 9, councillor Turner then sought to explain himself.
He claims a dormant Twitter account, belonging to himself, was hacked and explicit images were then 'liked'. The account has since been deleted.
