Frank Field has complained about the “atrocious behaviour” of a former Labour councillor, who was found guilty for abusing her position to “intimidate” people.

Louise Reecejones was the subject of an audit investigation into alleged fraud by Wirral Council, which ultimately led to her being deselected by Labour and stepping down as councillor.

Mr Field was forced to deny claims he was jumping before he was pushed, after losing a local 'no confidence' vote in July for siding with the government in key Brexit votes. Ms Reecejones chairs the local branch which brought the vote against him in July.
