So I have extremely big shoes to fill following in the footsteps of the amazing
@amachray
but I am so proud to be editor of
@LivEchonews
and the first woman editor.
The last moments of nine-year-old Olivia Pratt-Korbel should send shivers down the spine of any decent person in Merseyside who cares about the communities they live in. Let's work together to bring those responsible for this atrocity to justice
Tremendously proud of our amazing
@LivEchonews
team and its factual, accurate and measured coverage. No speculation here just trusted journalism. A massive thank you to everyone working long shifts to ensure our audience gets the reliable news it deserves. You will be rewarded.🍕
Once again really proud of
@LivEchonews
colleagues who are putting big shifts in to cover all angles of this huge story in Liverpool - here’s a quick thread on some of our latest stories and coverage of the terror attack in the city (thread)
Struggled all day to find words following the collapse of the Hillsborough cover-up trial. But as my colleague
@davidbartlett1
says the families and the survivors have been failed yet again.

I love Paris and went to college in Saint-Denis many years ago. But what happened on Saturday was unacceptable. Colleagues and friends are back safe, thankfully, but in shock. We need answers and an inquiry. No more untruths.
A harrowing report from our political editor
@LiamThorpECHO
inside the Royal's red covid ward. Anyone planning on marching again tomorrow should be made to read it.
A real inspiration. Thoughts with Paul’s family and friends. I remember the days when Lily wasn’t deemed suitable for daytime TV. Thanks to Paul we’ve made some progress. 💔
Merseyside is stepping up to help hungry children after the Government decided they didn't want to.
Let us know who and where they are 👇
We will retweet them.
Proud to work

Just heartbreaking. Thank you to everyone
@LivEchonews
today. I know how hard you’ve worked. Our thoughts are with everyone impacted by today’s devastating attack.
The past week does not define Liverpool but it is time to unite and to confront the violent minority responsible for bringing shame to our streets and devastating the lives of so many families. Whose side are you on?
When courage overcomes cowardice. Thomas Cashman was today jailed for 42 years for the murder of little Olivia Pratt-Korbel. Thoughts with her devastated family today and every day.
Journalism Matters and here are seven reasons why. We get a lot of abuse on this platform but without us many of these stories would simply not be told.

I'm unapologetic for the depth and breadth of our coronavirus coverage because our readers deserve facts from credible sources sense-checked by qualified journalists.

So many happy memories of working with you Sean and one of the most talented people ever part of my team. Those digital team days were special and so much fun. You are such a special person and a real innovator. Wish you the best and the Echo will miss you enormously.
Far too many people for me to thank for their help and advice since 2010. Hopefully I’ve got most of them covered in these pics.
But a special mention to
@JoeRimmer88

@xxnapoleonsolo
and
@mariabreslin
. Last boss, first boss and the boss.
Hard to watch but brilliant. Respect to Anne’s family and friends. Love to all the other Hillsborough families and survivors. Crying but proud.
