Proper Lake District morning in Coniston today filming wild swimmers. Fair play but I’m stopping on the shore!

I’m Whytes Cafe in Carlisle to discuss the health of the high street. Heading out to vox now if you want your opinion to be known!

I spent three days in the High Court in London watching the case unfold as campaigners challenged planning permission for the Whitehaven Coal Mine. You can view my summary of the hearing on ITVX here. itv.com/watch/news/a-h…

I’m in Cockermouth today filming the charities week stalls. The chaps from Linking Lives told me they raised £500 in the first 90 minutes from selling donated hardware! I accidentally triggered a balloon inflating competition at the Meningitis Now stand.
