Mersey Beat

Liverpool and its environs are very much like us in the North East, among other places such as Wales, the West Country, East Anglia and more: usually invisible to those who make economic, social, cultural and political decisions. But this year, Liverpool has the chance to be noticed in a major way. By re-electing Bob Wareing. By electing Ricky Tomlinson, or at least giving him enough votes to keep out Luciana Berger. And, as of today, by ensuring a worthy successor to the great man, Peter Kilfoyle.
