Ready for this. Rooting for this fella.

Hell of a result, hell of a campaign. Oh and it’s really upsetting all the right people 😉

A total and utter hero

A vital day for the Hillsborough Law as it faces a second reading in Parliament I’m off this week but my colleagues have all the action covered

The sheer grifting determination of these ghouls knows no bounds. Even as we hear the man charged is a British national who lives in Peterborough with police suggesting no obvious terror link, they cling desperately to the idea this is somehow linked to immigration. Shameless stuff.

This guy literally holds a press conference every single day just so he can say ‘no idea mate’

Autumn evenings by the Mersey ☀️

No one quite deserves to be made to look such a fool as Matt Goodwin. This is truly heartening.

Popping up on @news.sky.com shortly

Ok now this joke really makes sense!

Desperate from the Tories. The letting agent has literally coughed to the mistake after Reeves was assured they were taking care of it. Conservatives just look daft here.

Wonder how big a part of the 1% is in fact Prince Andrew

Yesterday I attended the Southport Inquiry where we heard more reports of the disturbing behaviour of Axel Rudakubana in the years before he murdered three young girls at a Taylor Swift dance party There are rising questions about the actions of authorities www.liverpoolecho.co.uk/news/liverpo...

Not now aggressive hepatitis, covid and herpes monkeys

Lads lads lads

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...

Mealy mouthed apology from Pochin after her outright racism here. When she says she will endeavour to make sure her language is more accurate in future? What is a more accurate way of her saying she can’t stand seeing black and Asian people on TV?

‘We call it the nightmare street - you could film a horror movie here’

Sefton Park in the afternoon Autumn sun is special Very lucky to call this my local park

Season 3 of The Diplomatic is typically enjoyable, but did anyone else find the jump between episode 4 and 5 very jarring? Where did Poldark come from? I was convinced I’d skipped an episode by accident

Back in January Alder Hey refused to answer my question of whether Axel Rudakubana had been under their children's mental health team's care. They then changed their stance and admitted he had been. This from @paddyedrich.bsky.social at the Southport Inquiry perhaps explains some of their reticence

This doesn’t feel like it has united people…

They’ve narrowed it down to one suspect

With a second child arriving in a few months and life feeling full and stressful right now, me and the other half got this new poster to remind us that these are the years that we will always cherish

Almost like a lot of people want to feel inspired by something

Rainy autumn days

Was it involved in a wild goose chase?

Some thoughts from me on Liverpool Council’s bold plans to stop people parking in the city centre and the big problem that needs to be addressed first 👇

Over my years at @liverpoolecho.co.uk I have seen us report on so many evil monsters coming through our local courts, but Michael Ormandy is right up there with the very worst of them RIP Rebekah Campbell Important in depth court reporting form the ever excellent @adameverett.bsky.social

Who are the people spreading conspiracy theories every weekend in Liverpool’s most popular park? Who is behind their movement? Would they talk to me about their claims that climate change is a hoax and their belief in the dangers of ‘chem trails’ ? Find out here 👇

Every Sunday in Liverpool’s most popular park, a group of people stand holding signs displaying a range of conspiracy theories Here I take a look at who they are and what movement they are part of I also asked them for a chat… www.liverpoolecho.co.uk/news/liverpo...

Wow

This is hopeful

Just giving this one another push out. What’s heartbreaking is when you report on communities where even those who have dedicated their lives to the place have given up because it’s too hard.

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

If you can persevere through the ads this is worth a read. Wirral Council may have made a mistake with the leisure centre but lack of money will be the underlying reason. Goes back to the point oft made - it’s the lack of local government funding and provision which is creating the rifts in society

There are too many places in this country that feel completely left behind

Hahaha

I made the fatal error of trying to be funny on Bluesky

Arteja loves Liverpool, supports Everton and has become a key member of the community - but now faces being sent back into the hands of those who exploited her ✍️ @liamthorp.bsky.social www.liverpoolecho.co.uk/news/liverpo...

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

Yesterday I had an emotional conversation on the phone with Arteja. She was trafficked into this country and terrible exploited by gangs before finding safety and community in Liverpool. Now she’s been detained and is set to be deported back into the hands of those who caused her so much trauma.
