Who are we?

Liverpolitan is an online magazine offering intelligent insight, analysis and comment on the Liverpool City Region and the world around it. Whether we’re covering politics, culture, the arts or anything else, we look to stimulate debate and seek out perspectives across the political spectrum.

Run by volunteers, Liverpolitan is for those who are passionate about Liverpool and want its future to be better than its present. It’s for people who understand that we can’t go on as we are, with the same dreadful governance, the same hard-luck stories, the same old, over-heated excuses and low expectations.

We want Liverpool to take its place in the world, to want more, demand better and make it happen. And we’re going to get there by being analytical, imaginative, and entrepreneurial. We’ll slay the old shibboleths, step where others fear to tread. Be bold and smart and impact the world around us, come what may.
