Freudian slip? Poor Nina Hossein. She’s just referred to Chancellor Jeremy Hunt as “Mr C***” on ITV’s lunchtime news. Isn’t Live TV wonderful?

'How can you be a good citizen and participate if you do not know what's going on?'

Bernie Sanders becomes one of the first major politicians to sound the alarm about the collapse of local news. He told Joshi Herrmann about a 'very serious problem' facing society.

Good luck to Spanish side Almeria tonight against Athletic Bilbao as they try to avoid an unwanted record - La Liga's longest winless run of 24 games. Stayed in the same hotel near Marbella and watched them train. Really not as bad as their season suggests.

At the Spurs v Villa game today and it’s an emotional day here following the sad news of Terry Venables’ passing. Just spoken to Clive Allen and he paid a lovely tribute. “A great coach and a real character.” RIP.

Hi Hexham FC Seniors Could you tell me if your clubhouse has a bar? I'm one of six committee members of a football club (similar level) in Lancashire and we're in the Hexham area on a jolly next weekend. We're looking for a game to watch on Saturday with a pie and a pint.

I used to love BBQs - until now. Out of action after suffering burns to my right (drinking) hand after being stupid. Lads never grow up, do we?

Handed back the company vehicle last night after my final day at the LEP. There were tears - I had to walk home!

Back to where it all began for me all those years ago. The LEP has just moved to the Media Factory at UCLan. Strange returning to the scene of the crime. 😂

Three years since we last clapped eyes on Fishergate Bollard and 18 months since he sent his last tweet, the LEP has tracked him down to his secret hideaway. Here's what we found: lep.co.uk/news/transport…

So sad to hear my old classmate Alistair Little has passed away. Celebrity chef, restaurant owner, author and all round good guy. James Martin says he was the Godfather of cooking. To us he was just just a great lad who held blinding parties when his parents were away. RIP Ali.

First Rod Marsh and now Shane Warne. A terribly sad time for Aussie and world cricket. I was in the press box at Old Trafford when Warne bowled that crazy delivery which turned almost sideways and did Mike Gatting. The look on Gatting's face was one of sheer astonishment. RIP.

Remember Preston's iconic Lamb Hotel on Church Street with its vibrant live music scene? It could be about to turn back the clock, 23 years after it shut. See lep.co.uk tomorrow.

Interesting suggestion to help ease congestion on Preston’s Ringway - open the Fishergate bus lane to traffic. But will LCC make their biggest cash cow camera free? The answer is in the LEP tomorrow.

So sad to hear the finest journalist I ever worked with has died. Andrew Jennings took me under his wing at the Burnley Evening Star when I joined as a junior reporter and showed me what real journalism was all about. This article sums him up perfectly: pressgazette.co.uk/andrew-jenning…

Surveys like this are so relevant in sport: Former PNE keeper Andy Lonergan is in the top 10 Most Attractive Premier League Football Players, according to RantCasino.com What's the betting they don't do the same poll with women's football?

Terribly sad news. PNE fans owe 'Sir Trevor' so much. Without his incredible generosity would we still have had a football club? Possibly not. RIP. lep.co.uk/sport/football…

I don't normally do recommendations, but I'll make an exception today. Anyone looking to sell their house should give this chap a call. Lots of estate agents make claims about personal service, but in my experience Andrew delivers. Worth a chat at least. facebook.com/Andrewwilliams…

Well, Freedom Day wasn’t so free in Padstow, Cornwall yesterday. Most pubs still demanding masks, customers had to remain seated and waiter service only. Also both Rick Stein and Paul Ainsworth had to close a couple of restaurants because staff pinged. Still a great place though
