    "While I understand and support the importance of upholding the integrity of the sport, it is crucial to ensure that measures are proportionate. I do not believe that this punishment fits the crime." Steve has written to @premierleague following @Everton's 10 point deduction ⤵️

    🪩 LIVERPOOL CITY REGION CALLING | It's official! #Eurovision2023 is coming to Liverpool! Read @MetroMayorSteve's reaction 👇
    "Home to the more UK number one hits than anywhere else, the birthplace of The Beatles, Cilla Black, Gerry and the Pacemakers, The Real Thing, Elvis Costello, The Zutons - and now the host of Eurovision 2023 - the Liverpool City Region is undoubtably the UK's cultural capital!
 
“While we came up against stiff competition from Glasgow, who deserve more than the nil points they have received on this occasion, nowhere is more experienced or qualified, and nowhere throws a party quite like we do.
 
“We want to put on a show that Ukraine would be proud of, and we have been working closely with Liverpool’s sister city of Odesa to ensure that this is their event as much as our own.
 
“Now the hard work begins. Putting on a show that will give millions a night they will never forget in one of the most turbulent and trying years for our continent is no mean feat. If anywhere is capable of it, it is the Liverpool City Region – with a little help from our friends in Ukraine.”
