NEW: 'No idea, genuinely': Watch as Reform economic chief gets confused over existing relationships between Notts County Council and regional leaders. Cllr James Walker-Gurley, a new Reform cabinet member in Notts, sat down with us last week. It didn't go well. @laurenamonaghan
Of course, Lee Anderson should know the reason he was asked to stay quiet is because of very strict contempt of court laws in our country. Saying anything now there’s been an arrest poses a substantial risk of serious prejudice to the active criminal proceedings. Basic law 101
Enough Is Enough. I spoke with Nottinghamshire Police yesterday about this case. I was asked not to go public on this matter as it may affect the trial. Why would it affect the trial? Are our judges and juries incompetent? Or is there another reason I am being asked to remain…

A really sad loss for us @Notts_TV as we say goodbye to Joe, Lauren and Latifa and mark the end to a brilliant four year journey of hosting the Notts Local Democracy Reporting Service. I was one of the first three Notts TV LDRs and I’ll never not be passionate about the scheme
💙 Today was our last day at @Notts_TV 💙 Notts TV, and the wonderful humans behind it, are a credit to the world of journalism. It fostered an environment of growth, individuality & family that allowed the LDRS to flourish. It'll forever hold a place in my heart. #LDReporter

I’m sure he’s a nice guy who cares. But this is Reform’s Cabinet Minister for Economic Development in Nottinghamshire. Would you trust him to run your public services?

A quick update following my post earlier this week. Paul Doyle, 53, from Burghill Road in West Derby, will appear in court today. This is a preliminary hearing and the case won’t be dealt with as it’s essentially an admin hearing. #liverpoolparade
