Bristol rejects party politics to choose an independent former LibDem councillor as mayor. Merchant Venturer & architect George Fergusons mayoral election victory discussed & weeks news reviewed with Stephen Williams, LibDem MP for Bristol West. Was it a fair fight or did the former LibDem councillor become mayor by the mystical power of money and Public Relations? How much did the millionaire spend on his campaign? Devastating failure by Labour candidate Marvin Rees, a defeat that will ring serious alarm bells with the London Labour party leadership who would normally be expected to win a mid-term contest in a city the party used to control. Independent candidates victorious in both Police and Crime Commissioner and mayor election so are political parties now toxic brands in Bristol?

Annual income twenty pounds, annual expenditure twenty pounds ought and six, result: misery."
