My guess is he won't.  He's not sharp enough to have made friends on the way up. People he's fucked over will be disinclined to help him back into power; they'll be happy of this chance to scrape him off.

Sweet. One less friend in high places for the bitters, for all the good it's done them.

If you mean his last honest job, I don't think P & O are hiring

He's only resigned temporarily while the investigation is going on hasn't he while maintaining his innocence ?

Yeah but if the shitstorm is big enough surely theres no way he'll just stroll back to his desk if or when it all blows over.

He hasn't been charged with anything yet. If charges are dropped, I can't see him resigning. There's a decent pension attached to his job. No way he'll let that go without a fight. Hasn't he been involved in something else where he fought and won money from the city ?

When's the next election? In my head it feels like he's only recently been re-elected. If this is still hanging over him when labour are next choosing their mayoral candidate, he won't get it. I don't really understand why we need the post. His powers should just be moved to the metro mayor.

Has he actually maintained his innocence? I've only seen him say that he will comment further on the 31st when Merseyside Police let their intentions be known.

I think it was within the last 18 months.

Slim to zero.  Which is the only chance of mentioning slim when writing about Anderson.

He is so crooked, if you shoved a skewer up his arse, you’d pull out a corkscrew. 

[Section_31]

Wonder if he's found guilty could the council be liable for legal action for projects that didn't get off the ground due to shenanigans?

When he was in the running for Labour's Metro Mayor nomination, he said he would scrap the post of Liverpool City Mayor, to save money.

When he didn't get that gig, suddenly it was important that we had two Mayors.

Yeah I never got why he wasn’t fucked off when Steve Rotherham got the city region gig. Being away from home,  I never saw the justification for Chippy Tits staying in post 

[Bobby Hundreds]

He needs to go regardless.

What about the projects that got off the ground only to stall ? The Echo did a article on them not so long ago. Think the latest one I know of is the development on the site of the old Henglers Circus pub on the junction of Low Hill and West Derby Road.

[General Dryness]

Game over for chippy tits. Cunt still won't resign like.

Surely they must now scrap his role (no not a sausage roll) once the term is up! None of the other councils covered by the Liverpool City Region have an elected mayor so I just can't see the justification for Liverpool keeping one!
