Councillors consider abolishing elected position in protest at Labour scrapping all-female shortlist
Liverpool city councillors hope to hold an emergency vote next week to abolish the position of elected city mayor in protest at Labour scrapping its all-female shortlist for the role.
They are waiting to see who, if anyone, applies to be the new candidate for a job now viewed widely as a poisoned chalice after the selection process was dismissed as a stitch-up. New nominations must be submitted by midday on Thursday and interviews are scheduled to be conducted on Monday.
