Sign up to the Liverpool Daily Post, a free newsletter that delves into the stories that matter

The Liverpool Daily Post is a free newsletter that delves into the stories that matter on Merseyside. Taking the name of our former broadsheet sister paper, the email newsletter is sent every weekday by myself, Dan Haygarth, the ECHO's regeneration reporter.

You can sign up to receive the newsletter by clicking here. It is an ad-free daily digest which combines news stories, analysis, opinion and insight from the ECHO's agenda team to look at the major issues of the day and explain why they matter to you - the people of our region.

Recently, the newsletter has compiled the ECHO's coverage of the horrific mass stabbing in Southport, violent disturbances and riots in Merseyside, Labour's historic general election victory and the inclusion of the Hillsborough law in the King's Speech. The Daily Post also keeps you up to date with happenings at Merseyside's councils and the Liverpool City Region Combined Authority, as well as looking at the social and political issues facing our region.

The newsletter keeps an eye on Westminster and explains what decisions made in Whitehall's corridors of power mean for us on Merseyside. It will also bring you the ECHO's long-reads, investigations and special reports, presenting them in an easy-to-read and ad-free manner.

Recently that has included a definitive account of Southport's week of unimaginable horror, speaking to the miners of St Helens about the legacy of their strike in 1984 and taking the fight to Thatcher, celebrating Liverpool's enduring links to Ireland and how the Emerald Isle has shaped our city, telling one woman's account of 'losing £31,000 to a Signature Living development', and very recently, looking at the revival of Garston Village.
