There is always a little gang of scousers. Other cities manage to hold onto more of their brightest and best, but in Liverpool - while many remain - very many cannot. And with them, go the jobs and opportunities those people sometimes go on to create.
The problem is not supply, as you suggest, but demand - not enough real businesses with good jobs to offer. I agree it's important to keep investing more in education and training, but that isn't enough - it's also important to attract the real businesses and the real jobs.
And how will the city do that? At the moment, a lot of them don't come to Liverpool, and a lot of the people who create businesses move to Liverpool. I'm genuinely interested in where you think the quality good jobs will come from.
