Totally delighted to be named Regional Press Specialist Journalist of the Year for the third time today

This job is hard, exhausting and amazing but there are so many people who make it brilliant and I’m grateful to them all

Bluesky should add voice note replies so that strangers can literally yell at you when they haven't understood your joke.

Yes I get it’s Zack you can stop commenting

Liam Thorp @liamthorp.bsky.social · 16h

Great stuff

Liam Thorp @liamthorp.bsky.social · 16h

Bluesky is ok but it’s also full of people who love nothing more in life than commenting with a minor correction or to tell you why that fictitious scenario you posted about for the purposes of a joke wouldn’t technically be possible. Come on lads chill.

Great

I have to say, it’s great to see Reform being called out for exactly what they are and what they do by Zak Polanski on #questiontime

Feel free to buy a newspaper or you can download our app. Cheers.

Feel free to move on and not read the free news

Liam Thorp @liamthorp.bsky.social · 1d

Apologies for having to make money to pay staff to provide news.

All good Nige

You’re not getting this. You can read it for free, with adverts - or you can pay for a better experience. I’m not freeloading by sharing my work. Ta ra.

Liam Thorp @liamthorp.bsky.social · 1d

Not sure what you aren't getting here. We are a news organisation that pays journalists to produce news. That is either through people paying for it or through advertising. It doesn't happen for free.

Liam Thorp @liamthorp.bsky.social · 1d

I mean people have always paid for news, it isn't free to put together

Liam Thorp @liamthorp.bsky.social · 1d

Give the article a read, it’s discussed

Liam Thorp @liamthorp.bsky.social · 1d

Apology accepted

It’s literally called a parking strategy. You may be personally more interested in other aspects - but the entire document is about reducing parking.

The bold plan to stop people parking in Liverpool city centre

From the removal of car parks to the introduction of a new parking tax and a potential new multi-storey facility - this is Liverpool Council's major plan to change the way the city centre works
