AT THE TIME OF HER RESIGNATION FROM THE LABOUR PARTY, IT WAS CLAIMED BY
Cllr Anderson said: “Cllr Stewart has appalling attendance figures for both council meetings and the select committee. She has not held a ward surgery for almost 18 months and we have had numerous complaints about her commitment to the ward from voters.”

“We were going to sack her this week and she knew that. This is simply a case of her jumping before being pushed to try and save face.”

LIVERPOOL LIBERAL DEMOCRATS USE THE DEATH OF RHYS JONES AS A MEANS TO WIN VOTES !

LIVERPOOL LIBERAL DEMOCRATS HAVE STOOPED LOWER THAN LOW THIS TIME AND NO LIVERPOOL CITY RESIDENT SHOULD ALLOW THEM TO CONTINUE DISRESPECTING OUR CITY.

Current Liverpool Liberal Democrat, Councillor Elaine Allen, has used the death of Rhys Jones and a Government funding issue over allocation of funding for safer communitee's, to trick Liverpool residents into believing that voting for her in the Local Elections will make a difference to Central Government and Gordon Brown

Envelopes have been stuffed through peoples doors with their names and addresses clearly marked on an opening letter from Councillor Elaine Allen.

In her personally addressed letter, she asks the reader if they are worried about knife and gun crime?

Well of course we are Elaine, please tell us your plan?

She tells us, she too is worried.

She is discusted after the death of Rhys Jones the Government have cut funding, she also claims however that she can somehow change this if we vote for her on May 1st 2008.

She fails to mention that local councillors cannot alter Central Government funding in any useful way, that is what our MP's are there for.

At the end of her letter she gives us a nice P.S. stating we have a choice between a Local Liberal Democrat and a Labour Government?

Has the woman lost her mind, does Gordon know we are having a General Election?

Or is this a way on playing on peoples political ignorance?


If that wasn't enough she has also enclosed a petition for residents to return to her freepost!
The title of the petition?

NO TO LABOUR'S CRIME FUND CUTS!

Residents are invited to sign and post free of charge to oppose labour's plan to cut such funds, at no point in this petition does is state it is the Labour Government that are making these proposals, ( not completely true by the way), they hope we all believe that Joe Anderson and his nasty reds are cutting our services.

The woman should be done for slander!

Warren Bradley in row over Las Vegas show tickets

Mar 27 2008 by David Bartlett, Liverpool Daily Post

Warren Bradley Cirque de soliel row

LIVERPOOL council leader Warren Bradley was last night accused of failing to declare his attendance at a Las Vegas show at taxpayers’ expense.

Cllr Bradley privately asked Culture Company chief executive Jason Harborow to buy him tickets for Cirque du Soleil’s Love Show, it was alleged yesterday.

At the full council meeting, Labour group leader Cllr Joe Anderson asked Cllr Bradley to confirm he had sent a text message to Mr Harborow asking him to purchase the tickets while Cllr Bradley was on a private holiday in the American resort. He asked if the Lib-Dem leader had then declared the tickets as hospitality.

Cllr Bradley refused to be drawn on the specific issue, but said he was “meticulous” in declaring hospitality.

In the council chamber, Cllr Ander-son said: “Could you confirm to me that in 2006, while on holiday in Las Vegas, you attended a show called the Love Show and requested the Culture Company pay for tickets and sent the following text message: ‘Jason, can you arrange for the show? If you manage to do it, let me know’.”

Cllr Bradley responded: “I am met-iculous in declaring hospitality that I receive from the council and I have the scruples to do so – unlike some who failed to declare gifts since 2003. Certain members failed to declare certain football matches – both before, during and after.”

Cllr Bradley claimed Cllr Ander-son’s question was based on informa-tion gleaned from a “defamatory and ill-informed” blog site.

The Labour opposition has called for an internal council investigation into the matter.

The controversy comes as Stand-ards Board for England investigators are in the city interviewing protagon-ists in an investigation into allega-tions that Cllr Bradley conspired to remove Mr Harborow from his post.

Mr Harborow officially left the employment of the city in January with a £230,000 pay-off.

His complaint to the Standards Board about the way he was treated in a bitter falling-out with Cllr Bradley is subject of a separate investigation.

It is understood the Culture Com-pany and executives from Cirque Du Soleil were in discussions two years ago about bringing the Love Show to Liverpool in 2008, but the talks stalled when it was discovered it would have been too expensive to remove the show from its home in the Mirage.

Earlier this week, Cirque du Soleil brought its Delirium show to the Echo Arena but it is understood this was not a result of previous negotiations over the Love Show.

Unlike Love, Delirium is specifically designed to tour and is run by a different arm of the international company.

Prior to last night’s meeting, Cllr Bradley said: “On the advice of the Culture Company, I took time out from a private holiday to view the Cirque du Soleil show in my official role as vice chairman of the Liverpool Culture Company and leader of the city council.

“Tickets were arranged because at the time we were negotiating with the Cirque production company to bring the show to Liverpool as part of our European Capital of Culture celebrations.”

Labour leader Cllr Joe Anderson last night said he had raised the issue with council chief executive Colin Hilton and requested an internal audit investigation into the matter.

Liverpool Council's education chief quits

Mar 27 2008 Liverpool Daily Post

Councillor Paul Clein _320

LIVERPOOL city councillor Paul Clein has resigned as executive member for children’s services in the wake of the row about the deselection of a Liberal Democrat colleague.

Cllr Clein, who had been on the executive board for ten years, said he had been "unhappy with the leadership of the council for a while".

He is not resigning as a councillor.

He said: "The deselection of my friend and colleague Cllr Kevin Firth was basically the last straw.

"It seems to me there is a strong perception by all and sundry that Kevin was deselected because of his attempts to hold the leadership to account over the Mathew Street business.

"I just felt no-one else was going to stand up and say that is wrong, so I am."

Cllr Clein sent a letter of resignation to the city council leader effective as of today.

WONDER IF THEY WILL NOW DE-SELECT CLEIN FOR SPEAKING OUT AGAINST THE POWER CRAZY LEADER OF LIVERPOOL CITY COUNCIL?

Elections 2007: Big guns already firing for 2008

May 5 2007 Daily Post City Editor Larry Neild offers his analysis of Liverpool’s political map following Thursday’s local elections by Larry Neild, Liverpool Daily Post

LIVERPOOL’S political masters are to launch their “Plan B” to re-engage inner city communities after the Liberal Democrats lost four seats to Labour in the town hall elections. Leader Warren Bradley wants his B for Bradley plan to carefully look at housing renewal schemes that have left many communities devastated by boarded-up homes. He is leading the council into its 10th year of Lib-Dem rule with a double-digit margin that has reduced from a peak of 40 seats in 2002 to today’s slimmed-down 12. It was 2002 that saw the Lib-Dems, then led by Mike Storey, holding 70 of the then 99 council chamber seats, its highest ever tally. In the same year, Labour was reduced to its lowest ever count for generations, only 20 councillors. The council has meanwhile shrunk to 90 members, but Labour’s Joe Anderson has nibbled away at the Lib-Dems’ grip, with the Lib-Dems holding 51 seats to Labour’s 35. The big question today is what will happen next May when Liverpool’s 324,000 voters decide who should rule the roost during European Capital of Culture year. Cllr Anderson is confident that Labour will make one big push to re-take the town hall hot seat, while Cllr Bradley argues that his team will stay in power for some years to come. To gain overall control, the Labour group need to hold on to the seats they defend next year, and make 11 gains to reach the vital 46 to guarantee control. Last year, Labour won three and this year ended up with four gains at the expense of the Lib-Dems. Even if they went one better next year and bagged five gains, it would still leave the Lib-Dems with that magical 46. It would make life at the town hall nail-biting, and would see councillors dragged from their sick-beds for key votes. If Labour supporters in Liverpool continue to buck the national trend and support the party locally, it seems likely that the best they can hope for is a hung council. THAT could still see Warren Bradley running the show if the four minor-party councillors agreed a deal. It could even see Lib-Dem defector John Coyne, the council’s only Green member, becoming a critical power-broker. Political pundits believe that Labour’s task will be daunting. Next year, Labour will be defending 10 of their 35 seats. The Liberal Democrats will defend 19 seats, with Liberal leader Steve Radford likely to retain his seat. If Labour lose Croxteth, as they did this year, it will make the task even harder. The Lib-Dems will be defending some of their fortress seats, such as Allerton and Hunts Cross, Childwall, Church, County, Cressington, Greenbank, Woolton. Cllr Bradley is also up for re-election in Wavertree. Vulnerable seats could be Kensington where veteran Frank Doran faces tough competition after the defeat of ward colleague Richard Marbrow and this year’s Lord Mayor, Joan Lang, in Warbreck, which also fell to Labour on Thursday. With no elections taking place in 2009, it means that an unsuccessful assault next year will guarantee Lib-Dem rule for some years. CLLR Bradley said: “The one thing you can say about people in Liverpool is that they take politics very seriously. The people of our city should take credit for the interest and intelligence they show. “Labour’s predictions of gaining control in a year are premature and, as far as I am concerned, it is business as usual. “I accept that, despite the progress we have made in Liverpool, there remain challenges, particularly in the inner-city areas. We have got to get something done quick- ly about our housing renewal initiatives. It is something we must re-visit urgently and get on with the job of providing decent homes for people. I would like to see the process speeded up.” Cllr Anderson refuses to accept that a massive swing is impossible. “Look at the likes of Greenbank and Picton and we are well in with a chance. Our post-election leaflet will carry the headline ‘You’ve been had’ because we want the people of this city to know about the mismanagement of the Lib-Dems. “When citizens hear more about the cost of Capital of Culture and the changes to care home provisions and the care service I am sure they will say enough is enough, and they will send the Lib-Dems packing.” The Conservatives failed to make much impact in Liverpool with Steve Fitzsimmons, their best hope, coming second in Woolton in what was a repeat of last year. His vote of 742 was far short of Barbara Mace’s 2,019 for the Lib-Dems. They came third or fourth in most wards, though in Anfield only 26 of the Tory faithful voted for them, putting the Conservatives last in a field of five. THE BNP contested nine seats in Liverpool and in total received 1,667 votes, just half of one per cent of the electorate. They came second in Norris Green and Kirkdale. Alec McFadden, president of the Merseyside Coalition Against Racism and Fascism, said: “Merseyside continues to be a fascist free zone.” ADDITIONAL reporting by Jennifer Thomas.
