Of course, Liverpool is currently led by the Liberal Democrats. We believe that Liverpool deserves better than this. The Lib Dems will try and tell you that the regeneration of Liverpool is entirely their doing. Yet it is billions of pounds of money from the Labour government and from the European Union which has financed Liverpool One, the Arena, and which paid for the Capital of Culture.
Thanks to the Labour government, every single school in Liverpool has been rebuilt over the last 12 years. Crime has dropped, waiting times in the NHS are a thing of the past, and the city thrives.
Yet Lib Dem led Liverpool City Council now finds itself with finances which will be £120million in debt within 5 years – that’s £300 of debt for every household in the city.

Whilst the Labour government is rebuilding our city, the Lib Dem council is wasting £6million on highly paid consultants. Whilst Labour has introduced and then raised the minimum wage, ending low pay forever, the Lib Dems have more than doubled the number of town hall fat cats earning over £100,000 whilst cutting front line services. Despite what the Lib Dems say about city centre regeneration, Liverpool now has the most intense concentration of poverty and deprivation anywhere in the UK.
Drive just five minutes out of the city centre, in any direction, and you will hit the UKs most deprived, poverty ridden communities.
But Liverpool Labour believes in a better way. We believe in a united Liverpool, where everyone has the opportunity to succeed and achieve. A Liverpool where poverty and deprivation can become things of the past, and where regeneration isn’t the sole preserve of the city centre.
Together, we can make Liverpool work better.
