So I have just read an article in the Liverpool Post @liverpoolpost.bsky.social about Crabbish. What the actual fuck, it looks like the stuff of food nightmares. Manchester can keep this mess to themselves. some food concepts just dont need to be concepts. Tell me people are not loving this.

If you think local democracy should be easier to follow, back our campaign - or if you’re already a Tribune member, share this with someone who should. Let’s make the decisions shaping your city easier to follow.

A lot of what shapes this city happens behind closed doors - in rooms most people never see ❌ Decisions get made. Policies get agreed. And it affects all of us, whether we hear about it or not.

Today's big story could only be Arne Slot's departure as Liverpool manager, just a year after clinching the Premier League title. But The Post is also asking: after finishing eight places lower, should Everton not be considering David Moyes's position? www.livpost.co.uk/liverpool-sa...

The city council and mayor's office have announced a £5bn investment in Liverpool Central. What problem is this solving? Is it another forever-project like Littlewoods Film Studios, New Chinatown or the Baltic Station? Or could it actually happen? www.livpost.co.uk/why-does-cen...

Wow, our campaign is off to a flying start! It’s been just under a week since what might have been one of the most exciting days in Tribune history - and we’re still buzzing from it.

The most talked-about play from Merseyside for a generation raises questions about class, belonging and conformity. The Post sent along Lucy Green, who found strange parallels with her own experience as a Liverpudlian Cambridge student. www.livpost.co.uk/eat-the-rich...

Ever wondered why Liverpool has five separate organisations delivering adult hospital care — unlike anywhere else in the country? The answer is Doctor Donald Wilson: one of Thatcher's trusted lieutenents. 🧵

Welcome to your Monday briefing. Today's top stories: — Holocaust-denying Reform councillor unwelcome, says Farage — Green councillor accused of "hate speech"... by Reform 👀 — Adolescence comes of age at the BAFTAs And today's big story: 👇

Indie candidate for Litherland Ian Smith has arrived, despite a restraining order with council leader Marion Atkinson. He has “bags of confidence” and is hearing Atkinson might lose her seat. "The word is they'll all lose their seats, and no one will be happier than me".

Larry Sweeney wouldn’t confirm if he was still chair of Southport Reform. His name was removed from their website last week. He says he doesn’t give interviews without appointment because he’s “very busy”. Whether he’s “busy” being chair remains unclear.

Sefton council's had its fair share of problems over the years. The Post has written before about unfulfilled promises, left-behind high streets, and a failing SEN children's provision. Presiding over this has a strangely dynastic local Labour party, dominated by the Dowd and Maher clans. 🧵

Why have the latest NHS reforms caused so much anger across Cheshire and Merseyside? Staff feel “demoralised” and “lied to”. In March last year, health secretary Wes Streeting announced sweeping budget cuts to integrated care boards (ICBs), NHS bodies that plan and oversee local health services. 🧵
