Philip 'Tinhead' Olivier does the full #KateWinslet after converting his old @MerseyFerries boat @DaffodiLpool in #CanningDock #Liverpool into a bar bistro. Please read my blog first if you're crazy enough to do this yourself! https://t.co/zUrUhNkSiw

The SNP ferry fiasco continues. Noah built his ark faster — and he didn’t even have a budget.

Bizarre behaviour by @CunardLine inviting #HRHPrincessRoyal #PrincessAnne aboard MS #QueenAnne in #Liverpool tomorrow for its 185th anniversary but only allowing two press aboard. Is Cunard trying to torpedo its own coverage? Doesn't its 'Spiritual Home' deserve more than this?

Was the tragic sinking of #Lusitania of @cunardline a murderous plot 110 years ago by #WinstonChurchill ? Hear my talk at @MuseumLiverpool #Liverpool Wed 7 May, 5.30pm.

The 113th anniversary of #Titanic tragedy reminds us that unlike most big disasters nobody died in the #iceberg collision but 1517 were killed due to lack of #lifeboats and poor evacuation by #WhiteStarLine. See https://t.co/RDxKlaYhcm
