"Liverpool City Council
A stand-out election - for unusual reasons.
The city mayor since the position was created in 2012, Joe Anderson, who is also the Labour leader, was arrested on 4 December 2020 on suspicion of committing bribery and witness intimidation.
While he denies wrongdoing, he decided not to stand for re-election.
Nevertheless, Labour's candidate is still an Anderson - Joanne Anderson, an existing councillor.
While Liverpool is currently dominated by Labour, the last few months of police investigations and findings of incompetence and corruption has damaged the party - but how much will it benefit the Liberal Democrats?"

There are a lot of interesting stories out in the hustings. Not least is the Liverpool one.
Popcorn TV later.  |
