Bishop of Liverpool RESIGNS after being accused of sex assault and harassment amid church abuse scandal
THE ARCHBISHOP of Liverpool has stepped down after allegations of sexual assault and harassment.
The Rt Rev Dr John Perumbalath confirmed today he will be resigning from his role.
The Bishop of Liverpool said he had been approached by Channel 4 regarding a story “containing allegations of inappropriate behaviour by me against two different women”.
But Dr Perumbalath added that his decision was “not a resignation occasioned by fault or by any admission of liability”.
In a statement, he said: “Having sought the permission of His Majesty the King, I have today taken the decision to retire from active ministry in the Church of England.
He added: “I do not wish this story to become a distraction for this incredible diocese and its people, whom it has been an honour and joy to serve.
“This is not a resignation occasioned by fault or by any admission of liability.
“Rather it has become clear that stepping back from my ministry and waiting for the completion of further reviews would mean a long period of uncertainty for the diocese and all those who serve it.”
His resignation comes as the Church of England is facing allegations of over various safeguarding failures.
Last month, Justin Welby quit as Archbishop of Canterbury over the handling of a separate case.
In a statement, Archbishop of York Stephen Cottrell said: “I acknowledge the decision made by the Rt Revd Dr John Perumbalath to resign from active ministry in the Church of England.
“I respect his decision and thank him for his ministry.
“My thoughts and prayers continue to be with all those who have been affected by this situation.
“I am committed to ensuring stability during this time of transition and will be putting the necessary arrangements in place to provide episcopal oversight for the Diocese.
“An acting Bishop for the Diocese of Liverpool will be announced in the coming days.”
Bishop of Liverpool the Rt Rev Dr John Perumbalath's statement in full
In a statement, Dr Perumbalath said: “Having sought the permission of His Majesty the King, I have today taken the decision to retire from active ministry in the Church of England.
“Earlier this week I was approached by Channel 4 News who informed me they would be broadcasting a story containing allegations of inappropriate behaviour by me against two different women.
“Since those allegations were made I have consistently maintained that I have not done anything wrong and continue to do so.
Since the claims were made in 2023 they have been investigated and considered by experts from the National Safeguarding Team and had found them unsubstantiated.
“The first allegation was also investigated by the police resulting in no further action.
“Despite this, media reports have treated me as guilty on all charges and treated these allegations as fact.
“Further it has been erroneously reported that prior to my appointment as Bishop of Liverpool I had failed the safeguarding assessment process. This is categorically not true.
“As the Church of England have made clear in their written statements over the past 48 hours responding to these false claims, the National Safeguarding Team found no concerns about my operational safeguarding experience and recommended some development work for me as I took on additional strategic safeguarding responsibilities – which is commonly the case for new diocesan bishops.
“This rush to judgment and my trial by media (be that social or broadcast) has made my position untenable due to the impact it will have on the Diocese of Liverpool and the wider church whilst we await further reviews and next steps.”
I ordered a cute co-ord from TikTok shop but ended up looking like an Abba wannabe – it was more portaloo than Waterloo
SHE’S going on holiday to Spain so wanted “something exotic” to wear.
But Chloe ended up regretting her choice after modelling her new lime green co-ord from TikTok shop.
“Ask me why I look like an obese member of ABBA,” she began, hilariously adding that it’s “giving portaloo, not Waterloo”.
She also said that while her mum always told her to wear “green to keep the boys keen”, there “ain’t nobody keen in this one”.
“Sometimes there’s just nothing like a try on haul to humble you,” Chloe sighed.
“I’m like a massive round giant bogey.”
And while some people have asked her recently if she’s “lost weight”, she jokingly slammed their “audacity” for doing so.
“I’m full of gas, practically s**t myself,” she concluded.
“I don’t wanna talk about it anymore.”
“Ok my haul has been a major FLOP so far,” Chloe wrote in the video caption.
People were quick to comment on the clip, with one writing: Portaloo not Waterloo – howling!”
“The ABBA comment took me out,” another said.
“Do a handstand and then you’re a spring onion!” a third joked.
“This is me ordering pieces of thread of SHEIN thinking I’m going to look like a model when in fact I looked like a piece of beef with the string still on it,” someone else sighed.
“Keep it – you never know when you might have an ABBA night!” another pointed out.
“I can’t see that suiting anyone though!” someone else insisted.
“It’s not you that’s the problem!”
However, others said they were actually quite keen on the outfit.

“I really like the top, it would look really nice with the right bottoms,” one wrote.
“I think it looks lovely, just try a different colour,” another suggested.
“The top looks lovely on you! It’s just the trousers they do nothing for you!!!” a third added.
“I actually love them trousers,” someone else wrote.
“I legit might get them lol!”
“The top could be so nice paired with something else but the trousers are NOT IT,” another said.
“The top with white shorts will look amazing,” someone else said.
As another wrote: “Yeahh the idea was there with this, I can see how it would be cute but they need to change material lol.
“The colour is super cute on ya though.”

[…]Jordan Henderson ‘closing in on shock Champions League transfer which could see him link up with Marcus Rashford’
JORDAN HENDERSON is closing in on a shock move to Monaco, it’s been claimed.
The former England midfielder is currently plying his trade in the Netherlands with Ajax, who he joined last January after terminating his contract with Al-Ettifaq.
But it’s been claimed he’s on the verge of leaving the Dutch giants for a money-spinning move to the Principality.
That’s according to Fabrizio Romano, who claims the former Sunderland and Liverpool ace has “almost agreed” and 18-month contract with the Ligue 1 side.
He wrote on X: “AS Monaco are closing in on deal to sign Jordan Henderson from Ajax as new midfielder!
“Permanent move almost agreed on contract until June 2026.
“Here we go, soon.”
News of Henderson’s reported move to the Stade Louis II comes just weeks after he vowed to stay with Ajax.
When pressed about a potential return to boyhood club Sunderland, he said: “It’s my club [Sunderland], ever since I was a boy of six or seven years old.
“Then I was in the stands. But I just hope I stay here [at Ajax]. I really like it here.
“I want to help the club to grow further. We are also taking those steps.
But I also read it [the transfer speculation]. I don’t even know where all this comes from, because there has been no contact.”
A move to Monaco could potentially see Henderson link-up with his former England team-mate Marcus Rashford.
Monaco are understood to be one of several European clubs interested in signing the wantway striker.

I’m American & my husband’s Scottish – he says my accent has ruined our dream baby name, it makes it so rude
A MUM-TO-BE has been left red-faced after her husband pointed out that her accent makes their Scottish baby name sound very rude.
Picking a name for your little one can be an incredibly difficult task as you want to make sure you choose for something unique, but not so out there that your child gets picked on.
Some people opt to name their child after a family member, whilst others choose to name their offspring after a favourite book or film character.
One woman, however, has revealed that her American twang has ruined her plans to give her little boy a Scottish name as a nod to her husband’s heritage.
Posting on Reddit, the mum-to-be said: “We’re expecting a baby boy and have been planning to name him Innes.
“We were happy with the decision until today, when I said the word ‘anus’ and my husband thought I was saying our future child’s name.
“Is he destined for a lifetime of anus jokes if we stick with the name Innes?”
She added: “I’m American and my husband is Scottish. I don’t hear much similarity at all when he pronounces Innes and anus, but they do sound fairly similar when I say them.
“We live abroad, but our son will likely attend international schools where students generally have Americanised accents.
“Boy names are HARD, and this one feels right. A little homage to his Scottish roots, not too common, easy to pronounce.
“We had a close contender for months that we’ve put back on the table for exactly this reason, though – it sounds nothing like anus at all.”
And she may be gutted by the reaction as social media users have strongly urged her to ditch the name choice.
“Honestly it would be a dealbreaker for me if I pronounced my child’s name like anus, regardless of bullying”, insisted one person.
A second wrote: “There’s just so many other names that don’t sound just like anus.”
Meanwhile, a third joked: “Maybe try it out at Starbucks and see how people say it or write it.”
It’s not the first time Scotland has influenced a new mum’s baby name choices.
One woman revealed she turns to the map of Scotland to find inspiration for her kids’ names.
Sammi lives in England but chooses to name her children after Scottish places.
And another mum-to-be was forced to scrap her baby name choices after moving north of the border.
She told social media users she was disappointed after realising that people pronouncing the monikers in a Scottish accent would ‘change’ the names.
Banned Names in the UK
The UK has no law restricting names, but names that contain obscenities, numerals, misleading titles, or are impossible to pronounce are likely to be rejected when registering a child.
- Hitler
- Monkey
- Cyanide
- Martian
- Akuma
- Chow Tow
- Rogue
