Would be nice if taxes on landlords aren't just dumped on tenants already paying incredibly high rents

It's Budget week and the nation's pubs are bracing themselves, telling me their sector cannot afford any more bad news | @the-independent.com

After a few weeks off since leaving the ECHO, it's great to have started at The Independent. You can get me on [email protected]

Nice to sign off with my big head at the top of the ECHO site. Some farewell thoughts on this amazing city - www.liverpoolecho.co.uk/news/liverpo...

My brilliant @liverpoolecho.co.uk colleague & very dear friend @danhaygarth1.bsky.social is heading for an exciting new adventure in London In his final piece for his hometown paper, he writes about the things he will miss the most from this wonderful city www.liverpoolecho.co.uk/news/liverpo...

Some news from me. Yesterday was my last day at @liverpoolecho.co.uk. It's been a dream come true to write for this paper and I've been very lucky to work with an amazing group of people. Sad to say goodbye but excited to start as a Senior Reporter at @the-independent.com next month.

I went to Skem, which could be getting a £150m regeneration project. But people in the town will believe it when they see it - having heard it all before

Really good read from @danhaygarth1.bsky.social on Skelmersdale - another place that feels cut off and forgotten about

The Andrew formerly known as Prince

The government said it is backing hospitality, Liverpool's pub owners see it differently

A very busy few days covering the Labour Party Conference here in Liverpool. We have wanted to make the creation of a Hillsborough Law front and centre of our coverage as it means so much to this city. Thanks to colleagues @danhaygarth1.bsky.social and @lottgibbons.bsky.social for the team effort

Here's what we can expect from the PM today

Campaigner Charlotte Hennessy and Keir Starmer spoke about the Hillsborough Law on the opening day at Labour Party Conference

The Labour Party conference is back in Liverpool & Keir Starmer has a lot to do to convince people that he is the right man to take Labour forward after some bruising months Follow the action from a crucial conference with updates from myself, @danhaygarth1.bsky.social and @lottgibbons.bsky.social

As the Labour Party gathers in Liverpool, I've looked at the housing crisis facing our city and asked people how the government could fix it

Yet another delay to the project that's meant to fix our delayed trains. Far from great

Interesting to speak to Jonathan Falkingham from Urban Splash on how they helped regenerate Liverpool in the '90s and 2000s - and their grand plans for Festival Gardens

The company has confirmed it will close its Liverpool office

Sir Keir Starmer has written exclusively for the Liverpool Echo as his government prepares to bring a Hillsborough Law to Parliament www.liverpoolecho.co.uk/news/liverpo...

At long last the Hillsborough Law can become a reality, changing how this country functions and how the state can act. It’s a monumental achievement from the families, who never gave up. ✍️ @liamthorp.bsky.social

A British sporting legend. RIP

Cricket as a force for good in Merseyside? Freddie Flintoff thinks it can be. I spoke to Firwood Bootle CC about Freddie's time there and what they hope to achieve in their community

Very lucky to have seen Oasis twice now, including travelling to Chicago to see Liam and Noel on fine form. It was a very different atmosphere to Wembley, though

Myself and @danhaygarth1.bsky.social are bringing you all the big news on a big day for British politics www.liverpoolecho.co.uk/news/uk-worl...

A perfect start to Everton's new era. Here's what fans had to say today

A new era for the Blues begins today. I’ve had a look at what #EFC’s new ground means for the city

Woolton Hall has been destroyed throughout and every floor of the manor house has collapsed after a fire tore through it, the ECHO understands

Response from the City Region Combined Authority after the ECHO revealed funding concerns for the project to turn Littlewoods into film studios

Latest from Littlewoods as the developer has told the ECHO the project is facing a 'viability challenge'

It is just so ludicrously exciting that Noel and Liam are back together. I’m counting down the days to Wembley. Amazing write up from @liamthorp.bsky.social at what sounded like a triumphant homecoming for Oasis in Manchester

Loved chatting to Digsy about the Oasis song named after him, hanging around with the Gallaghers in the 1990s and what their reunion means for the world of music

Latest from the inquiry at Liverpool Town Hall

Southport Inquiry updates as hearings begin at Liverpool Town Hall Updates from @liamthorp.bsky.social and @danhaygarth1.bsky.social www.liverpoolecho.co.uk/news/liverpo...

The Southport Inquiry begins at Liverpool Town Hall today. Updates via @liamthorp.bsky.social on our blog here

My pal @danhaygarth1.bsky.social has done a topical chat with Scouser Digsy - of Oasis song Digsy’s Dinner fame - and it is very fun This section particularly stands out 😆 www.liverpoolecho.co.uk/news/liverpo...

Oasis are back. They may be one of Manchester's finest exports but some of their first steps to stardom were taken in Merseyside, taken under the wing of two Bootle brothers. Wrote this last year when the reunion was announced. More to come this weekend

Worrying reports coming from Liverpool city centre this evening. The incident happened shortly at Liverpool's trophy parade Updates from @danhaygarth1.bsky.social and @hannahrees.bsky.social www.liverpoolecho.co.uk/news/liverpo...

If you want a sense of the outpouring of emotion in and around Goodison Park today and why it all means so much, read this super piece from lifelong Blue @danhaygarth1.bsky.social www.liverpoolecho.co.uk/news/liverpo...

A day at Goodison I’ll treasure forever. And I didn’t even have a ticket. The perfect send off in the streets of L4

What a day our man @danhaygarth1.bsky.social has had! 💙

An amazing and very moving day on Goodison Road. Here's what it meant to the fans who gathered to mark the end of an Everton era

Today Everton’s men’s team say an emotional goodbye to Goodison Park after 133 years. In this special tribute piece, @danhaygarth1.bsky.social pulls together memories from Blues from all walks of life of the Grand Old Lady www.liverpoolecho.co.uk/news/liverpo...

BREAKING

Plans to convert The Caledonia into a hotel have been submitted to the city council

A finding of misconduct was made against Sarah Pochin, the Reform UK candidate for the Runcorn and Helsby by-election, during her time as a magistrate

Loved chatting to Ray about this house in Walton

Chatted to Matt Thompson as he announced the closure of his two city centre bars. It's a really perilous time for the hospitality industry

Really good work from @elliotlivecho.bsky.social

Amid concerns about the Hillsborough Law, I asked Wes Streeting whether this government is still committed to delivering it in full
