It’s so important to look at the facts in an age of misinformation that is fuelling the far-right in this country.

There’s a long way to go, but Labour have done more in the past year than the Tories did in 14 years to tackle illegal immigration.

Imagine using the senseless slaughter of children as an excuse to go and have a fight, throw bricks at a mosque and set light to people’s cars. I hope these cunts get several years behind bars.

🎥Over the past few years, our area has become a backdrop for some of the biggest film and TV productions, with Liverpool’s reputation as the most filmed location outside of London growing.

But we want to do more.

📈 We've invested £17m to support the Littlewoods development so that we can offer far more than a backdrop. As well as catering to post-production, it'll offer education and training too.

👣 Our journey to building the Hollywood of the North is taking another step forward 👇

Oh dear. Even made up numbers are against the Tories. 😆

MASSIVE NEWS! So today begins the first step on a journey that has taken nearly 40 years. Back in the late 80's my Dad wrote a book that due to unforeseen family circumstances had to be put on hold. In the 90’s it was given to me to read, I loved it and it’s basically been with me ever since. 18 months ago my Mum received some devastating medical news which has fundamentally changed her, my Dad’s and our family’s lives. Since then I've made it my mission to try and do something big to help them. So this past year I've dug out the old manuscript, given it a fresh coat of paint, enlisted the amazing @yoniweisberg for cover art and my sister @Lauren91_x to proof read and TODAY we are ready to launch my Dad's book: The Man Who Stole The World Cup. 🎉📚

It's a brilliant, fun, adventure, football/time travel story set in 1986 starring two kids from Liverpool, (Kenny Dalglish-mad Jo and Comic book loving Bluenose Andy), who get pulled into the conspiracy to steal the Jules Rimet World Cup Trophy in 1966.

Getting this book out in the world, and allowing my Dad the opportunity to follow his dream has been one of my biggest ambitions, so today is HUGE! To help make it a reality we've launched a Kickstarter page where you can pre-order Limited Edition, Hardback copies of the book. Any help or support, either by buying a copy or helping us spread the word would be great appreciated!

The order page is here: https://t.co/Mi7JU3r53f
