It’s causing pain in the day job, but the demolition of the NCP car park on Maid Marian Way has opened up a great view of Nottingham Castle. Exciting times ahead for this part of the city.

Robert Jenrick says the Met Police investigation into a £40k donation is part of "an establishment determined to stop Reform." It's the same explanation Reform is giving for the Farage investigations. nottinghampost.com/news/loca…

I’m here at the Gulf petrol station in Lowdham where Reform MPs Robert Jenrick and Lee Anderson are announcing dropping fuel prices for this location for the day. Reform are calling on the govt to halve VAT on fuel for three months in response to the war. #LDReporter

I was told before Nottinghamshire County Council’s meeting today media had to sit upstairs - we usually sit in the chamber. No solid reason why. Reports of several empty seats in the chamber - random. We’ve argued it. Told I’ll be allowed back in after lunch. #LDReporter

Well, approximately 99% of the complaints we receive are from people complaining that we've covered their court case, so let's put this in its proper context.
Culture Sec Lisa Nandy is “really concerned” about the efficacy of press regulator IPSO She questioned: “If only 1% of complaints are upheld and nobody has ever been fined, is that because everything that is produced by the press in this country is 100% true and accurate...?"

Enjoyed writing this piece up👇 Beeston has been evolving into its own 'bohemian' scene, says one cllr. But is the town too crowded with students? Some residents think so. Others champion the diversity and vibrancy👇 nottinghampost.com/news/loca… #LDReporter

A big moment. After over a month, the Reform UK ban on @nottslive has been lifted. We've pushed back against this with everything at our disposal on behalf of our readers and today is a very important step. More on @nottslive below. nottinghampost.com/news/loca…
