It's time some people behaved a bit more responsibily. nottinghampost.com/news/news-opin…
There's been some remarkable events in Lincolnshire politics over the last few weeks, with two council leaders ousted. I took a deep dive into why it's happened, and what it means going forward lincolnshirelive.co.uk/news/lincoln-n…
The fact that Hillingdon seemingly can’t see what an appalling look it is to blacklist a journalist smacks of a very out of touch local authority.
For 2 months I have received online trolling when reporting on Hillingdon Council. Now, the council are making similar “bias” complaints - because they don’t like my scrutiny. Last week, I was blacklisted by the council - who now refuse to engage with me👇 mylondon.news/news/west-lond…
Boston councillors have ousted Anne Dorrian as council leader. The town will now be led by her deputy Dale Broughton, who she accused of 'drip feeding venom into eager ears' lincolnshirelive.co.uk/news/lincoln-n…
I've spent a very warm morning walking around Birchwood with @HFalconerMP and many of the city leaders, talking about how the £20m it's been awarded could be used to transform the area. Full story to follow
A really interesting development - probably good for democracy, but it means barely 12 years until my Cbeebies-obsessed son can vote bbc.co.uk/news/live/c93k…
Good to see indie local media standing strong.
An important editor's note from @abi_whist about threats we've received from the historian Laurence Westgaph. He demanded @liverpoolpost takes down its stories about him but instead they have removed the paywalls so everyone can read them. livpost.co.uk/cutthroats-and…
This situation has been building over a number of years. At least 12 to my personal knowledge. I have watched successive Chief Constables try and balance the books and argue for a fairer funding formula from central government who just dither over it.
Boston council leader could be dethroned after most of her party quit Striking parallels with what happened in West Lindsey last week! lincolnshirelive.co.uk/news/local-new…
Lincolnshire Police could become the first ever force to effectively go bankrupt. I've taken a deep dive on what that means, and why it's happened @LincsLive lincolnshirelive.co.uk/news/lincoln-n…
The long-running saga of whether Mayor Andrea Jenkyns was eligible to stand in Lincolnshire has come to an end The councillor who made the appeal says there are more important things to focus on lincolnshirelive.co.uk/news/lincoln-n…
A war of words has broken out between Lincolnshire councils over the latest plans to redraw the political map lincolnshirelive.co.uk/news/lincoln-n…
Andrea Jenkyns' office says 'early discussions' on reviving the Lincoln Christmas Market are happening - but the council doesn't want to be involved lincolnshirelive.co.uk/news/lincoln-n…
If you ever want to feel the passage of time, take your child to see where you grew up. A real Circle of Life moment
West Lindsey's top two leaders were removed this week - but the council says it's 'business as usual' lincolnshirelive.co.uk/news/lincoln-n…
