East Yorkshire councillor apologises over photoshopped burning car tweet
The photoshopped image of a burning car alongside Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn has since been taken down
Conservative Councillor Paul Nickerson for the Beverley Minster and Woodmansey ward is facing a backlash on social media after an image of the terror attack in Liverpool was posted on his account.
It appeared to show a photo-shopped image of former Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn standing next to the burning car.
It’s since been taken down and Mr Nickerson has tweeted an apology saying the post 'wasn’t of his hand'.
He said:
“I would like to apologies for a political tweet sent from my account yesterday which has been upsetting for some people and I unreservedly apologise to all concerned.”
