Wirral Council is set for crunch elections which could lead to huge changes in the local authority.
Labour is the largest party, but is well short of a majority. On a bad night for the party, it could lose its leadership of the council.
On the other hand, if ‘Partygate’ hits the Tories in Thursday’s vote, Labour could hope to make big strides towards regaining its majority. There are big battles to look out for in Birkenhead and Seacombe, where the Greens are looking to tear through some of Labour’s heartlands.
