Ward breakdown in Liverpool's mayor election
Liverpool mayor Joe Anderson took more votes than his rivals in all wards across the city with the exception of one in last week's election.
That one ward was the Tuebrook stonghold of his Liberal rival Steve Radford. Anderson was behind by about 800.
Apart from that the table shows just how emphatic the new mayor's victory was.

This is what I said in here, five days BEFORE the vote. I should be rich!
I think Liam Fogerty will come 2nd. And he could win 15% of the vote, signalling a significant degree of ill-ease with the decision to bounce us into this unwanted contest. The 'Joe' vote (c.60%) will trail the overall Labour vote by some margin, while Kemp will be humiliated. He won't even win a majority in Church ward; might not even save his deposit. But he will be able to console himself that, with Keaveney losing her seat, the path to the leadership of Liverpool LibDems - all ten of them - will now be open to him. Meanwhile Coyne, the biggest disappointment in the recent debate, will be exposed as a huge waste of space. The Greens are going nowhere: 'protest votes' will go to Fogarty. Any surprises? I find it hard to predict the nutter vote. UKIP could do well by its own standards; could come 3rd even. But the Nazis & Mulhearn, nowhere. April 30, 2012 1:28 PM
The humiliation of Richard Kemp was total. As Leader of the Opposition, he polled an atrocious 6%, saving his deposit by a whisker. In fact he polled just 11% of Joe Anderson's vote. And he even failed to 'win' his own ward, as I predicted. Across the 30 wards, Kemp was out-polled by Fogarty (27), Mulhearn (18), Coyne (11) & Caldeira (10. His vote substantially trailed the city-wide LibDem council vote. And of course he is now Leader of 10. Dismal.
Elsewhere, there are just SIX Tories in Princes Park. Really? The Tory inner-city fightback must be in full swing then.
Ronnie - well done! I spotted that in Princes Park (it stands out) and assume it's a Council error eg a bundle of 50 omitted from a tally. Remember Warren's missing votes? Although I also spotted that Caldeira polled 100 fewer votes than the Tory candidate in Central ward, where Caldeira lives!
