Conservatives on the Wirral have welcomed the news that Cllr Paul Stuart now leads the Labour group in the council.
Cllr Stuart was elected as Labour leader last night, deposing current Wirral Council leader Janette Williamson on a dramatic night. He had previously served as Cllr Williamson's deputy.
A vote on who will become the next overall council leader will take place later this month where Cllr Stuart will have to get support from other political parties to become council leader as Wirral remains in no overall control.
