The paper includes 10 pages of dedicated Hillsborough coverage from myself, Dan Haygarth and Liam Thorp.

It's been nine months since I began looking into Big Help Project, a charity run by ex-Labour councillor Peter Mitchell.

The growth of the charity has been eye watering. Between 2018 and 2022, its annual income rose from just over £400,000 to almost £16m.

I met this amazing young man when I visited All Saints Foodbank. He’s doing a sponsored walk to raise awareness of everything that foodbanks do.

Most seriously, we have spoken to tenants in the housing that Big Help provides. Their experiences suggest a group that has prioritised breakneck growth over the wellbeing of the people in its care, leaving them to suffer in poor accommodation.

The deadline to register to vote in May's crucial local elections is midnight on Tuesday.

Liverpool City Council John Prince the state of the roads in #westderbydeysbrook . Why do you expect people to pay the increase in council tax for? The roads have never been this bad.
No wonder Liverpool Liberal Democrats are campaigning for better

An anti-poverty charity in Liverpool run by a temperamental former Labour councillor jumps from £900k income to £9m. What's going on?

Phenomenal investigation by my colleague Abi Whistance for The Post. Perplexing and heartbreaking in equal measure.

A great initial expose by Abi Whistance and The Post. I look forward to more of this coming to light and any Labour Councillors involved stepping down in shame

On 17 May, many LGBTQ+ activists & friends will attend The Bank of London Rainbow Honours.

I wrote earlier this year that Liverpool Council was wrong to refuse to reveal the name of two councillors summoned to court over the non-payment of council tax

I’m glad the Information Commissioner agrees with me 👇

Out delivering for Liverpool Liberal Democrats today, before the torrential came from nowhere (or the sky before anyone gets cute 👀🤣).

If there’s any one reason to join a political party, aside from the obvious, it’s to be getting those steps in. 🏃🏻‍♂️💨

Tons of newspapers delivered in Wavertree today! Also good to pick up on some casework 🔶📝

(Excuse the messy hair, it was a windy afternoon!)
