Liverpool isn't just badly-run. It's a city without a plan. It's vital the new panel chaired by @MetroMayorSteve listens to as many people as possible, and not just to the discredited politicians and inept officials who've combined to humiliate our City.
An unprecedented intervention. Woeful @lpoolcouncil has finally run out of second chances. No spin or gloss from the Mayor or the Labour Group can disguise a years-long failure to address a rotten culture inside this failing authority. Grim. https://t.co/Cu8vyAqFCT
The Great Energy Bill Disaster is yet more evidence of just how dysfunctional @lpoolcouncil is.
"Lessons have been learned." It's time they were taught a few: https://t.co/QeErhF9MYv
Bounced into it 10 years ago. Bounced out now. And - uniquely among English cities - all without a public vote. "Like it or lump it," basically. No other council treats its citizens with such disdain. Sign here if you think power belongs to the people: https://t.co/eIya7Sntsr
BREAKING: Liverpool Council has voted to remove the position of elected mayor and replace it with a leader and cabinet model from next May

Resignations. Investigations. Liverpool politics, like Labour's referendum promise, is broken. Renewal starts with credible & accountable leadership. It's lacking now. It'll get worse if Lab foists its "scrap the Mayor" plan on us without a public vote #resetliverpool#referendum
Another chaotic day at the top of Liverpool Council that leaves an ever expanding leadership crisis and will surely lead to further government intervention
My analysis from today 👇

"Mismanaged decline." "The city is going backwards. Investment has dried up." @DowntownFrank doesn't hold back. Says @DIBLiv members are "frustrated, concerned & pessimistic" about our city's future. They're not alone. We urgently need to #resetliverpool

.@MayorLpool thanks her out-going CEO for helping "to navigate difficult waters." In truth, this Council is all at sea. The need for root-and-branch reform is screamingly obvious. https://t.co/aDuTif5qu1
Mr Reeves' exit from @lpoolcouncil is A Big Deal. "The city once again finds itself in a chaotic, unpredictable and potentially dangerous moment," is the brutal assessment of @LiamThorpECHO
In an article for @liverpolitan , our co-founder Liam Fogarty spells out what's at stake for Liverpool as our campaign gets underway: https://t.co/iK6srr3Fot
There are renewed calls for a full, public referendum over whether Liverpool should keep or ditch its elected mayor
The calls come after a public consultation on the issue was described as a 'farce'

Liverpool is the ONLY English big city to have denied its citizens a vote on how it should be run. It should be OUR decision. 16.5K signatures (5% of registered Liverpool voters) will trigger a referendum. Head to https://t.co/cZcrKWas0n to download a petition form and sign up
A broken referendum promise. A botched consultation. A Council that reckons it has this whole 'governance' thing stitched up. It's time for the people of Liverpool to reclaim our local democracy. It's time to Reset Liverpool https://t.co/cZcrKWas0n
