Zoe Hughes, Exeter City Council member, said the party's support of a ban on puberty blockers for under-18s questioning their gender identity was "a policy I refuse to stand by and accept".

Hughes was elected as the Labour councillor for the Pennsylvania ward in May and will now serve as an Independent.
