Independent Mayoral Candidate, Stephen Yip has slammed attempts by former Labour Mayor of Liverpool to get the city’s Council Tax payers to fund his personal legal bills associated with the Operation Aloft criminal investigation.
Stephen Yip said:

“In the same week that it was revealed that Mr Anderson’s administration had cost Liverpool taxpayers over £100 million in dodgy land sales, it is beyond belief that he is asking us to fund his personal legal costs.

“Council Tax payer’s money is not a personal piggy bank for politicians.

“I have spent the last few days talking to Liverpool voters in some of our most deprived communities who are frankly disgusted that a Labour Council has squandered public assets to benefit property developers and favoured cronies.

“And still no-one from the Labour Party has even managed an apology. There is absolutely no limit to their shame.”
