| Back over to Liverpool, where we've just heard from Mayor Steve Rotheram, who uses the first part of his victory speech to take aim at the government's new ID requirements at polling stations. | |
| He says he understands the disappointment of people who were unable to vote in this election because of the "regressive" law. | |
| Rotheram says Liverpool's voters have "hollered at the top of their voices" to tell the government "enough is enough", before setting out his hopes for more devolved powers under a Labour government. | |
| He continues: "The road to Downing Street runs through transformative Labour administrations in local and regional government. | |
| "With Labour in Westminster, we will get to see what real devolution is like, not the limited decentralisation we are seeing now." | |
| He ends by accusing Prime Minister Rishi Sunak of "squatting in Downing Street" and tells him now is the time to call a general election. | |
