It’s an historic moment for the Liverpool City Region Combined Authority. For the first time there’s a cabinet member who is NOT from the Labour Party. George Woodward the @reformparty_uk leader of @sthelenscouncil takes his place in a new role as portfolio holder for education

I’m Delighted to get a name check in the chamber for pressuring @MetroMayorSteve to get his hair cut 😂
We’ve just seen a video highlights reel of the last year and I think it’s fair to say the scissors were very much needed

Cllr George Woodward thanks Mayor Rotheram for his warm welcome to the CA and says “I hope we can focus more on what we agree on than what we disagree on”. He holds the portfolio for education now - I think that will include apprenticeships and training.

Becoming a grandad is not only “life changing” - it could impact @MetroMayorSteve political future! (Along with a few other things…)

A typically self-effacing statement from King Kenny. Sending him best wishes.
Sir Kenny Dalglish has confirmed that he is undergoing treatment for cancer
The #LFC legend post on social media:
“As my inadvertent social media post has indicated, I am currently undergoing treatment for cancer. Unlike my mobile phone use, the treatment is going well.
“Ideally, this would have remained private because that’s the way it should be, but my useless technology skills have forced my hand.
“Obviously I did not mean to make this matter public so I would appreciate it if the privacy of my family and myself are respected.
“As ever, thank you to the wonderful medical staff who have shown incredible care and discretion, not just for me but for many, many others. They are a credit to themselves.”

Very interesting read this on how @seftoncouncil is working with children who are at risk of becoming #NEET by 16 - using earlier 1-1 intervention:

🚨 My latest article for @BBCNews ⤵️Could 1-1 careers intervention be a way to prevent young people becoming #NEET by 16? I’ve been speaking to the council in Sefton and a charity in Leeds who are working with children as young as 12 bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cd6p…
