Daniel Kawcynski has accused Cllr Shaun Davies of posting "highly personal" tweets aimed at the chief executive of Shrewsbury and Telford Hospital Trust amid a row over A&E services.

Cllr Davies has responded by saying he was speaking on behalf of the council, which is due to hold a vote of no confidence in the management of the hospitals and that it wasn't "about personalities".

He also said he and other councillors "wouldn't be silenced".

But Mr Kawcynski is unimpressed.
