Metro Mayor was answering questions about free gifts amid ongoing row engulfing the new Labour government
Liverpool City Region Mayor Steve Rotheram has defended his decision to accept free tickets to see Taylor Swift and to watch Liverpool FC play. Mayor Rotheram was asked about the free gifts amid an ongoing row involving Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer. Speaking on BBC Radio Merseyside, Mayor Rotheram said he was given tickets to see global superstar Tayor Swift when she performed at Anfield earlier this year and had been invited to watch Liverpool play numerous times.
'I use the opportunity to go round and speak to people to try and sell what we are doing in the Liverpool City Region. So there are those connections. I went to Taylor Swift and it was a freebie. Spoke to people from America who were there. He added: 'If we are going to get foreign direct investment increased - and I have committed to 25% over these next four years - then you need to go out and meet people wherever they are. If they are at Taylor Swift, we need to do that.
