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

An authority blacklisting a reporter - who is just doing their job - is never a good look. The online trolling is pathetic. @PJLynchjourno you are clearly doing your job right !!

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…

🏠This is a remarkable statistic: More than 24,000 council homes have been sold under Right to Buy since the 1980s - almost as many as the council now has left under its ownership in the entire city... @nottslive #LDReporter nottinghampost.com/news/nottingha…

This is a difficult story. I hope the family gets the outcome they want. Five bereaved siblings currently do not know whether they will be able to stay in their family home after their father passes. #LDReporter nottinghampost.com/news/local-new…
