Yet again @liverpoolpost.bsky.social uncovering more dodgy dealings. How the woman who is still a sitting #Labour councillor involved in this hasn’t resigned or been kicked out of the party is beyond me

This is what real journalism looks like. More of this, please.

Today’s investigation in @liverpoolpost.bsky.social focuses on Andrew Milne: a London lawyer who has been sending dozens of letters to residents in Southport, threatening to take them to the high court if they didn’t hand over upwards of £6,000 to buy the land their homes were built on 🧵

We’ve all been there. You’re relaxing at home, where you’ve lived for generations. Perhaps you’ve just enjoyed a well-earned honey-based snack and all’s right with the world. When suddenly, a foreign invader comes along and decapitates you with her mandibles. 🧵

Great comments already on today's edition. If you don't have a work phone, and are expected to use WhatsApp for work, then does that mean an employer can snoop through ALL your messages? Personal and otherwise? Get debating in the comments.

EXCLUSIVE: Writing on the Wall says employees committed gross misconduct. Staff say they’ve had their privacy “violated” How many WhatsApps are you in? These days, nearly every event, meet-up and trip abroad needs one to share details – and have a good gossip. 🧵

Liverpool has a proud musical lineage from The Beatles to the post-punk explosion. In 2015, UNESCO designated it a "City of Music", recognising its contributions to rock and pop. And yet, 10 years on, “it’s never been worse for bands and clubs,” one promoter tells The Post. 🧵

Founded in 1992 by John Power of The La's and Pete Wilkinson of Shack, Cast broke records and smashed expectations. Their debut album was Polydor's highest-selling, while Noel Gallagher described seeing Cast live as a "religious experience". 🧵

In 2023, The Post's exposé into Sefton council’s children’s services, “How Sefton failed its most vulnerable children”, documented harrowing details, including the death of a newborn from severe neglect, an inability to meet legal timelines, and a “trajectory of deterioration”.🧵

David Barnett @davidmbarnett.bsky.social Liverpool Post @liverpoolpost.bsky.social From Merseyside to the Middle East: Rae McGrath’s mission to rid the world of landmines www.livpost.co.uk/from-merseys...

I did a long-read for @liverpoolpost.bsky.social on Rae McGrath, who left school with no qualifications and went from working as a Liverpool road tarmac-er to founding @minesadvisorygroup.bsky.social www.livpost.co.uk/from-merseys...

Raphael McGrath was born on Bonfire Night 1947. But if that was a portent, it wouldn't become apparent for many years. Rae grew up with 7 siblings in a 3-bedroom house, not realising Dovecot was rough until he realised a documentary he was watching was about his home town. 🧵

From a footballing standpoint, the Hill Dickinson Stadium has been a success so far. Everton’s enormous new home on Bramley-Moore Dock has seen the Toffees unbeaten in competitive fixtures, with victories over Brighton and Mansfield Town and a draw with Aston Villa. 🧵

It's Monday. The weekend may be over, another contentious Merseyside derby may have concluded, but The Post is here to provide you with plenty of reading material. Today's headlines: 🧵

THREAD: In 1982, Brookside burst onto television, hoping to distinguish itself from other soaps with a brash combination of Scouse wit and confrontational themes and storylines. Set and filmed in Croxteth, it presented working-class Liverpudlian life to British audiences. 🧵
