.National Grid UK Customers Any update on the power cut in the Duffield #DE56 area please?



Really enjoyed being back with former Beeb colleagues today helping on BBCpoliticseastmidlands. This Sunday’s show is a good ‘un - join geeta pendse and Peter Saull at 10am, BBC One. Plenty of Derbyshire content, including NE Derbys’s Louise Jones MP.


Pleased to be offering media training support to Natalie Rodgers and the Scala team. Got to know them during coverage of the on-going Nottingham maternity scandal and love the legal campaign work they do. #mediatalk #Journalist

Really enjoyed being part of the match day sponsors for a great Mickleover FC win over Robbie Savage’s previously unbeaten Macclesfield.



Football finance guru Kieran Maguire putting a figure on what Tamworth lost out on due to no replay after 0-0 at full-time today. Loss of FA Cup replays continues to stink.

Not bad for a lad almost released at 18. The experts said he’d have a good lower league career. He’s now in the Prem. Well done eírancashin for proving ‘em wrong. Always a 🐏. Hope we see you soon. Loved your desire & diagonal balls. Keep smashing down fences. #dcfc #dcfcfans





When is something not recyclable, despite it saying 100% recyclable on the side? When Amber Valley Borough Council says so, apparently. A first world problem I know, and not exactly Brum level, but they didn’t empty our bin today due to four small plastic plant pots. And they were a day late.



Hearing that parents who are hoping to save St Anselm’s School in Bakewell have tonight raised a potentially crucial £235,000. James Lewis from Bamfords Auctioneers working his magic! bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

Luke Saddington, who rammed two Hunt Saboteurs Association vehicles in Notts in March 2019, was sentenced on Fri to 14 years for his role in a violent robbery of a couple in their Lincs home. Tried & sentenced in his absence after he fled UK. Still not sentenced for this incident. Chris Packham
