I mean, call me a Loony Lefty if you want, but it *is* starting to look a bit weird arresting disabled pensioners protesting peacefully one day and telling coked up bellends attacking you to “calm down” another day the same month.

I know this isn't the point. But Liverpool has great museums and galleries, superb nightlife for all tastes, two awesome cathedrals, an attractive docklands, rich musical and footballing heritage, and a boycott of the Sun. If you believe it's a shithole, you're both intellectually lazy and wrong.

Just in from mammoth interview session to two bits of news. One that a DV perp got locked up because of something I did and that a vulnerable constituent had a a massive wrongful debt written off after our intervention. This is why I came to politics, this is why I'll just keep cracking on.

The BBC say the documentary only makes people angry.

This isn't just Liverpool. Probably happening in a town or city near you
On the streets of Liverpool, there is a humanitarian crisis
A perfect storm of problems means more and more people are finding themselves homeless & sleeping rough & it’s getting worse - it’s a situation playing out across the country
A difficult 🧵 on what I’ve found reporting on this situation

I'm only on twitter for sports, mainly football (soccer if you're American).
