Labour councillor switches to Lib Dems on Merseyside

Last month it was Leeds. This month it is Liverpool where a councillor has joined the Liberal Demoocrats.

As the Liverpool Daily Post reports:

A RIFT among a Merseyside Labour group last night led to a shock defection to the Liberal Democrats.

Cllr Paul Larkin, who represents Bootle’s Derby ward, crossed the divide after claiming Sefton’s Labour leadership is “deaf” to the concerns of voters.
