Labour Mayor of the Liverpool City Region.

Working to make Liverpool City Region the best place to grow up, grow old and grow a business.
A pleasure to welcome @darrenpjones.bsky.social to the region yesterday!

Great to have a government working with us to drive investment and growth in the Liverpool City Region.

@evertonstadium.com was the perfect venue to show off the huge potential of the North Liverpool-South Sefton corridor!

Our Labour government, with Rachel Reeves as Chancellor, is smashing through the barriers to growth🌹

The Green Book review could be transformative, helping attract more government investment into the Liverpool City Region while we work to attract more foreign investment too.

🤓 One of the wonkiest and most technical changes possible.

💪 Also: one of the most impactful and transformative changes possible.

This is could open up a world of opportunity for the North. Green Book has seen countless worthy infrastructure projects canned because of its outdated methodology.

Busy few days of important and productive meetings down in London!

The complete cancellation of Merseyrail services today is unacceptable.

People in our region deserve better, and I won’t stop until they get it.

The riots that took place last Summer showed the dangers of unchecked misinformation and racial hatred spread across social media.

Truth matters, and we all have a duty to uphold it—whether on X or elsewhere.

If platforms won’t act, it’s time we rethink where we engage.

It was great to join the Chancellor Rachel Reeves alongside fellow mayors (virtually) for the Mayoral Growth Mission yesterday!

We stand ready in the Liverpool City Region to be the delivery arm of national government. 💪

Gutted to hear of John Prescott's passing. He was a true giant of the Labour movement. He never lost that fire and was always an invaluable source of advice and good humour! Thinking of Pauline and his kids at this difficult time.

They don't make them like him any more 💔
