Analysis / Bias
LivPost reports are well-sourced and fact-based, but story selection and framing suggest a modest right-of-center bias, particularly in how local governance under Labour is portrayed. For instance, the article “Why are companies leaving Liverpool?” discusses business flight from the city and implicitly connects it to local economic policies without naming alternative political or structural contributors.
In “Blame trains and trams on wheels: how Liverpool fared in Labour’s spending review”, the title and tone frame Labour’s transportation spending as inadequate and highlight bureaucratic inefficiencies. Another piece, “Special Investigation: The Collapsing…”, investigates public infrastructure decay under a Labour-led council, but does not reference comparable projects in non-Labour regions, thereby limiting the broader political context. While none of these stories are overtly partisan or inflammatory, they consistently position Labour leadership as ineffective or flawed. The absence of equivalent scrutiny of Conservative policies or voices further supports a slight editorial lean. Despite this, all articles are well written, cite official sources, and avoid emotional language.
