I refuse to write "Some personal news..." Oh £*%! My book, The Talk of Liverpool, is being published by Mirror Books on June 30. For 33 years the Liverpool Echo paid me to interview people, including many of my heroes - and the occasional villain... https://t.co/QiqIzZDVZf

A new low point in American journalism, and the best case against the White House letting propagandists posing as journalists, like @brianglenntv, into the Oval Office.

So sorry to hear this very sad news. Phil was an inspirational man who never gave up hope. Days before the Hillsborough Independent Panel report was published, he said: "All we have ever wanted is the truth - the whole story." My condolences to Hilda, Graeme and all the family.

Pat, outside the Abdullah Quilliam Mosque in Liverpool tonight, started attending protests about 50 years ago. She said: “We’re telling them wherever they go, we’ll be there. We’ve never allowed them in the city of Liverpool.”

Everyone at Everton is deeply saddened by the death of our former striker Kevin Campbell at the age of just 54. Not just a true Goodison Park hero and icon of the English game, but an incredible person as well - as anyone who ever met him will know. RIP, Super Kev. 💙
