Never mind Blair the warmonger, we now have Mayor Rotherham.
He is a;ready calling the wirral as "liverpool"
We think we did badly when Birkenhead appropriated the majority of funding and starved the rest of Wirral. Now Liverpool across the river will have first dibs in the pot. I wonder if they sold off all there tramline track, or is it stored waiting a fresh way of spending money!
Independance for The Wirral!!!! I'd fully support an independent Wirral, in fact I think most Wirral people would - but we weren't consulted properly on the matter. Our job now is that every time they say "Liverpool" instead of "Liverpool Region" or "Liverpool City Region" then we correct them. I would challenge that Birkenhead has had more of Wirral's funding, I think you will find the figures show the opposite is true. The main problem is that the whole of the Wirral is underfunded, partly through what is given and partly through what we try and get. Wirral is unique and basically has the worst case of all the funding issues, we are an urban, suburban and rural area but has its own major road networks and a lot of coastline, we no longer have a major rail network and it is awkward to get to airports. We are near and remote from other places at the same time.
There's a real danger that the left will drag Britain back to the 1970s, with secure well-paid jobs, ample housing, properly-funded NHS and social care, free tuition, student grants, final salary pensions, affordable rail fares and fabulous films and music.

Quite amusingly, Andy Burnham the biggest Blairite in the country becomes mayor for Greater Manchester. So much for the voters voting the Blairites out!!! as for Rotheram - Steve Rotheram, who was Corbyn's PPS, admits he didn't use Corbyn in any of his 4 campaign leaflets. Says wanted to stress local stuff Burnham blows with the wind, he is currently classed as a left-winger again every since he was kicked in the teeth by the blairite team in 2010.

The "Blairites" were given a bloody nose in 2010. This is all about punishment for Corbyn. A shame you can't see that. Not studied the turnouts but is this due to Labour supporters voting conservative or just not turning out. UKIP took a hit so are there former supporters voting Conservative rather than Labour. I would tend to think previous UKIP supporters would vote conservative to make sure Brexit goes through Only 26% voted in the Merseyside Metro Mayoral election, which is particularly bad. The same could apply for all the other gains by the Tories. We'll no doubt be told if that is the case, by the ever hopefuls. Have we had the Wirral results yet, as I can't find them anywhere ?

I expect Wirral will be Labour again.

Looking at the region's figures I'd pretty much bet that Wirral would also have been Labour. You will be ecstatic to know that every local authority's region voted for Rotherham (Labour). Wirral's results were ... Labour 49.4% Conservative 30.2% Lib Dems 5.9% UKIP 5.8% Green 4.5% TUSC 2.5% Women's Equality 1.5% Get the Coppers Off the Jury 0.2%

Over the moon ! Not really too bothered tbh. We know what we'll get i.e. more of the same.
Surprised at Lib/Dem's result though and the fact that UKIP where just behind.
Thanks DD.
(Read the results wrong first time got UKIP and Lib/Dems mixed up)
