Blimey.

Mayor of Liverpool Joe Anderson has been arrested in connection with an investigation into building and planning developments in the city, Sky News understands.

He is one of five men arrested on suspicion of alleged offences including conspiracy to commit bribery and witness intimidation.

It is also understood that he has been administratively suspended from the party.

Merseyside Police said detectives made the arrests on Friday as "part of an ongoing investigation".

Should be interesting as this unfolds.
