Sunderland’s likely new leader ‘not a Starmer yes man’

But Mr Mordey said Liberal Democrat claims were “nonsense”, and insists his ability to work closely with Keir Starmer and Kim McGuinness will only be to the advantage of the city.

He said: “I can tell you from personal experience I underwent a very robust interview about my vision, and my plans about what I want to do as group leader and council leader.

“As to any suggestions this is an imposition, it’s just them playing politics and trying to sow division where there isn’t any.

“I see myself as a partner for Keir Starmer, who will be the next Prime Minister, and with Kim McGuinness to deliver the agenda she won significant support for at the mayoral election.”
