Liam Robinson is not someone you might expect to find at the heart of Liverpool's political scene.
The city's politics is well known for its outspoken, unpredictable and sometimes controversial characters.

The newly confirmed leader of Liverpool City Council was around for those years - he's been a Labour councillor in the city since 2008 - but his work as chair of the region's transport body appears to have kept him baggage-free.
