Reset Liverpool

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. bbc.in/3T4iX4c

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: bit.ly/3Ja8Iaf

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: bit.ly/3PsJsyb

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

"Chaos reigns." Well, at least *someone* is in charge @lpoolcouncil ...

"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 bit.ly/3zh0cmj

.@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. bit.ly/3uWFkOE

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

So , @lpoolcouncil Chief Executive is leaving "with immediate effect." bit.ly/3crt4j3

In an article for @liverpolitan , our co-founder Liam Fogarty spells out what's at stake for Liverpool as our campaign gets underway: liverpolitan.co.uk/opinion/refere…

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' liverpoolecho.co.uk/news/liverpool…

@resetliverpool co-founder Stephen Yip will be on @bbcmerseyside shortly with details of our campaign and how YOU can get involved

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 resetliverpool.org 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 resetliverpool.org
