Labour denies right-winger Tom Cardwell runs troll account, but he tweeted same message from that account moments after tweeting and deleting it on his own Twitter accountRight-wing Liverpool Labour councillor Tom Cardwell has been outed apparently running a hateful troll account attacking local political opponents. Labour has denied he is behind the account and Cardwell is not answering his phone this morning and has not responded to a text enquiry. The troll accounts are entirely in keeping with Labour’s official – though spinelessly near-anonymous – campaign materials in the south Liverpool ward, where Gorst’s hard work as a local councillor clearly has Labour worried. Sam Gorst is a councillor in the Cressington area of Garston and is standing for election in the new Garston ward, alongside fellow LCI candidate Lucy Williams.
