Larry Neild wades into the row over convicted Liberal Democrat councillor Steve Hurst
Larry Neild (formerly of this parish) has waded into the row over what the Liberal Democrats should do about convicted councillor Steve Hurst.
To read the full column click HERE, but here is a selection:
Warren Bradley, the man leading the fight to stay in control, gives his whole hearted support to his trusted friend, ward colleague and fellow firefighter Steve Hurst. Warren's army is torn, as Steve has been convicted of an election offence...
...So in the final part of Bradley's Opera, what is he to do if he is torn between loyalty to his friend or loyalty to his group?
If I was some modern day Puccini penning the last act, I would throw Steve to the mercy of the group - withdrawing from the debating circus to allow him to be judged by his political peers. If they decide Hurst should be banished, then so it must be.
But this is Liverpool, and Warren is Warren, already surviving a number of major hurdles over the past couple of years to remain in the hot seat.
This blog post from Dale Street Blues contains the latest on this issue with links to other elements of the ongoing saga.
