Karney was born in Dublin and raised in Harpurhey and has been a Labour councillor in the city since 1979.
[2] In 2012 the city centre was said to be "surviving the recession very well"[3] but in 2014 it was said that under his leadership "as the Supremo of Central Manchester, the place has been declining for some time".
The wall was finally demolished in 2020, shortly after it had been decorated with the slogan "The North is not a Petri dish", and Karney arranged to preserve a section and invited the artist to decorate it again.
"[5] In March 2020 he was accused of bullying John Leech, leader of the Liberal Democrat opposition on the City Council, but was cleared.
