A councillor has lost her High Court bid to force the Labour Party to include her on their Mayoral candidate short list.
Cllr Anna Rothery, a Princes Park ward councillor and current Lord Mayor of the city, was shortlisted for the nomination alongside Acting Mayor of Liverpool Wendy Simon and Ann O Byrne, a former Deputy Mayor.
The shortlist was finalised after an interview process as the party looked to replace Joe Anderson, who remains suspended following his arrest in December.

Liverpool mayoral candidate Anna Rothery
