A tearful councillor has taken a swipe at the South Tyneside Labour party, as she announced her decision to stand down at next month's local elections.
Councillor Angela Hamilton uploaded a video to social media announcing her decision to step down, saying she could no longer "do the absolute best" for her constituents given the "internal party wrangling".
The Beacon and Bents ward councillor clashed with local party chiefs several times since her election in 2018 and resigned from the Labour group last year.
