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…

Hey @Sarahw9111, I hope you're well. I work as a reporter at the Standard and I've just sent you a dm about a potential news story. It'd be great to chat if you're free. Best wishes, Jacob

Hi @PrimroseWatch, I work as a reporter at the Standard. Would it be okay to use some of your pictures of the police cordon in place in Primrose Hill over the weekend as part of our reporting on the awful incident? Best wishes, Jacob

BREAKING: Sadiq Khan's night czar, Amy Lame, is standing down after eight years at City Hall. She says it's “the right time” to “move on”, but it's been “a real privilege to serve Londoners”. It's unclear if the £132k role will be given to someone new. standard.co.uk/news/london/a…

I started working at the Standard exactly four years ago today. I’d just turned 21, first job out of university — needless to say, they really took a chance on me. A very sad day for the paper and my wonderful colleagues.
The last ever front page of the Evening Standard.

The Evening Standard is landing on London's streets for the last time today. I grew up turning it into paper mache before learning to read it. I never thought they'd one day let me write the front page. Now available on the Tube and at stations one last time

I've written today's splash for @EveningStandard. It's a great perk of the job to see your work on the streets of London but it feels particularly sentimental at the moment considering we have just a handful of editions left. Do grab a copy if you spot one.
