A leadership challenge could be made at a dramatic Wirral meeting this evening.
The Echo understands that Wirral Labour's deputy leader Cllr Paul Stuart could make a last-minute pitch to replace the party's current leader Janette Williamson and take charge of the Labour group before making a bid to lead the borough's council.
Cllr Stuart, who was re-elected in Seacombe in last week's local elections, is reportedly gathering support within the local authority’s Labour group to try and take over from current council leader Janette Williamson in a party vote this evening.
