@HumphreysECHO Any news as to when you'll be able to add railcards to the tap and go Metrocards?

"We need to start speaking with authenticity. People feel Nigel Farage does that because he'll have a ciggie and a pint, but ultimately he's not someone who represents working class people. We can."

Liverpool Liberal Democrat @CarlCashman on how his party can win the North West:

@HenryLD_ I genuinely feel that @PushTheSutton has said that exact phrase.

[Jake Perkins @jakearperkins]

@PushTheSutton I'd caveat that co-pilot is trailed across LG and is by no means universal yet. I don't know enough about how Parliamentary offices structure their IT say that Parliament should - certainly something to look into

Oh it's a happy day as Mersey Rail user - contactless ticketing launched and James Street escalator is fixed 🥳

[Merseyrail @merseyrail]

ℹ️ The escalator at James Street has returned to service after a complete refurbishment over several months, we thank customers for their patience during this time.

[Jake Perkins @jakearperkins]

@HenryLD_ Congratulations Henry! One thing you'll learn by the end of your degree is that Roses are Red🌹! 🥳🥳

@PushTheSutton @PheonixPreston @LiberalOnToast @teomanonline_ @sremmerriley I miss one meeting, leave you in charge and we loose the room to the Chess Club of all people... embarrassing.

Fly-tipping is out of control thanks to years of Conservative failure.

We’re calling for a Fly-Tipping Fighting Fund to help clean up our communities with tougher fines and stronger enforcement.

[Tom Morrison MP @ThomasMorrison]

Apologies I’m only catching up on this news. I am so angry the Government is considering rolling back on the #HillsboroughLaw. It was a promise made to families who had been through hell and fought decades for justice. It’s contemptible to do anything but deliver it in full.

I can't lie it's very hot and muggy in Liverpool Town Hall tonight and it's not just the hot air coming from Labour benches

We don’t bully people or judge if you’re a bit different.

We try to forgive past mistakes if you’re willing to rehabilitate. We tend though to draw the line at corruption.

If you care about Liverpool and you’re not corrupt. Join @LiverLibDems

[Steve Darling MP @SteveDarlingMP]

Just now in Parliament, I raised serious concerns about the government’s proposed changes to Personal Independence Payment (PIP) and the devastating impact they could have on carers' allowances.

These changes could see some carers facing financial losses of up to £12,000 a year—a shocking blow to those who give so much to support others.

I called on the government to rethink these rushed reforms and adopt a more compassionate approach. Carers deserve better, and I’ll continue to fight for them

First, it was British steel. Now, it's British cars. Who will stand for Britain?

Not Keir Starmer. Not Kemi Badenoch. Not Nigel Farage. That much is clear

[UK House of Commons @HouseofCommons]

Also confirmed:

1. Urgent Question from @SteveDarlingMP: To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions if she will make a statement on the impact of changes to Personal Independence Payment on recipients of Carers Allowance.
