Chris Paul, Labour Councillor for Withington, is being investigated by the Greater Manchester Police after his wildly misogynistic and offensive tweets surfaced, in which he described women as “slobs”, “cows”, “c*nts” and “b*tches”.

Referring to Labour’s notorious strong-hold in the City Council, Vince Cable warned that it would be “dangerous” for Manchester to fall back into a “one-party state.”
