New Lord Mayor of Liverpool sworn in

LIBERAL councillor Hazel Williams was sworn in as the city’s Lord Mayor last night.

She thanked her group colleague, Cllr Steve Radford, with a quip which brought the house down.

She said of openly-gay Cllr Radford: “Steve and I have been political colleagues for a long time, about 30 years. Had our personal lives been different, we might be celebrating our pearl wedding anniversary.”

Cllr Williams takes over from Lib-Dem Mike Storey as first citizen.
