Another day, another scandal at cash hit Liverpool Council
A crude estimate is that it will take 30 years for the Council to recover its investment in this site and that is before services like a school and other public building are added. On Wednesday I will be raising … Continue reading
Should Liverpool send in Commissioners to run the Government?
It seems to me that the people of Liverpool are now caught between two levels of hapless incompetence. On the one hand we have a hapless crash and burn Primer Minister who will clearly, if she survives, do what she … Continue reading
United Utilities water pollution is a real problem in Liverpool
Liberal Democrats were delighted that a motion that we moved at Council, and which was referred to the last meeting of the Climate Change Select Committee, was approved unanimously and the series of actions which we had proposed therefore in … Continue reading
Lib Dems slam secret decision to close Bulky Bob’s Service
My reactions were anger and disbelief when I heard the news that the award-winning Bulky Bobs service for the collection of unwanted furniture is to close on 23rd November. My thought was that this just could not be right, but … Continue reading

Do you remember that incredibly funny sketch in a Morecambe and Wise programme with Andre Previn? Previn is trying to conduct an orchestra whilst Eric Morecambe plays the accompanying piano – terribly. When Previn challenges Morecambe, Ernie patiently explains to … Continue reading
Another £111,000 of council taxpayers money down the drain
So, at 10.30 today the Mazars report on the Liverpool Council electricity purchasing debacle was published. I spent the afternoon yesterday talking about it although the Government only let the press see it in advance. However, I already knew enough … Continue reading
Government Commissioners likened to Dads Army
Today I have likened the role of the Government’s Commissioners in Liverpool to asking Dad’s Army to lead the assault on the Normandy beaches on D Day. I have taken my concerns further in a letter to the new Secretary … Continue reading
But what does Richard Kemp think?
