There are claims that Michael Gove has "unfinished business" with Liverpool after he was reappointed to the role of Secretary of State for Levelling Up.
Mr Gove has returned to run the department that oversees the work of local government and housing having been dramatically sacked by Boris Johnson in the summer as his government was falling apart.
In a sign of the chaos that has engulfed the Conservative Party since then, there have been two further Levelling Up secretaries in the short time before Mr Gove was reappointed by Rishi Sunak yesterday.
