Internet trolling. It's not something you'd expect from a sitting Deputy. Unfortunately this kind of behaviour has been making the headlines recently, after Deputy Chris Le Tisser was revealed to be trolling colleagues whilst sitting in the State's Chamber.

Deputy Le Tisser was using the Twitter handle @radiosutch299 to post anonymously and his actions have forced him to self-refer to a code of conduct panel. In an unprecedented situation, he now faces being sacked.

The story was broken following an investigation spearheaded by Express Guernsey's News Editor, Aaron Carpenter. He speaks on the role of social media in local politics, the potential for a sitting Deputy to be fired and why it's so important to hold our elected officials to a high standard.
