A councillor from Stockport Council has been permanently expelled from the Conservative Party for sharing offensive tweets.

Cllr Alanna Vine, who represents Stockport Council's Bramhall North ward, retweeted claims that mosques had ‘secret arsenals’ and that immigration was ‘cultural suicide’.

Cllr Oliver Johnstone, deputy leader of the council's Conservative group, confirmed that Cllr Vine had been permanently expelled from the party and the Stockport Conservative Group.

In a statement, he said: ‘Stockport Conservative Group and the Conservative Party as a whole takes allegations of this nature extremely seriously. Following an investigation, Cllr Vine was found to have endorsed and promoted views which were wholly unacceptable and incompatible with her membership of the Conservative & Unionist Party.’
