Joe Anderson will be like the Ghost of Christmas Past in the Council
Today’s announcement by Mr Anderson brings further shame to our City. He won’t resign but he won’t do anything either! He should have resigned when it became clear that the investigation in which has been arrested but not charged will … Continue reading
Lancashire Police Commissioner fails to make public the costs of 7-year Police enquiry
The Leaders of two of the North West’s Liberal Democrat Groups, Cllr John Potter, Preston Council and Cllr Richard Kemp, Liverpool Council have accused the Lancashire Police Commissioner of resorting to complex, legalistic mumbo-jumbo to avoid letting the taxpayers of … Continue reading
Some good things happened in 2020

Liverpool Council must change its ways
The absence from the scene of Joe Anderson, temporary or permanent, gives us the opportunity to once again reassess the position of Elected Mayor. The Lib Dems have moved to hold an Extraordinary Meeting of the Council when it can … Continue reading
Who should run the City of Liverpool and how?
The events of the past 10 days have brought into questions two key issues in the minds of many Liverpool residents. How should Liverpool be run and who should run it. My answer to the second question is, of course, … Continue reading
Will Government Blundering Damage Police Investigations?
Anyone who has seen the Secretary of State for Local Government, Robert Jenrick, stumbling through his brief will realise that he has been grossly over promoted from his job as a fireplace salesman. The question now must surely be will … Continue reading
A new Broom is needed for Liverpool
It would be absolutely wrong of me to comment on the events which on Friday led to the arrest of Mayor Anderson. I have been advising people not to speculate and I have no intention of ignoring my own advice. … Continue reading
