A councillor who posted an offensive tweet which appeared to liken the Tories' economic policy to that of the Nazis has been suspended from the Labour Party.
Rosemary Healy published a doctored image of a Conservative election poster showing the Auschwitz-Birkenau concentration camp on her social media account on Tuesday.
She had retweeted the picture after it was initially posted as an apparent joke by another user.
It showed the Tory slogan “Let’s stay on the road to a strong economy” superimposed on the Birkenau train tracks.
