The Joseph Rowntree report "Poverty and Place in Britain - 1968 to 2005", published on 17th July, contained a stark message for Liverpool. The study indicated that the city contains 108,000 households in breadline poverty, centered on West Derby and Riverside, the most extreme levels found in Britain.

I have applied for the Liverpool West Derby selection. I'm not out to unseat Bob Wareing, but his CLP has decided to hold an open selection and I'm convinced a working class area of a city is where my energy would achieve the most good.
