Boris said Hancock still has a future in public service, but former John Ashton says he's left a "trail of chaos and destruction" and thinks there's no way back.
Great speaking with the former Dir. Public Health for North West this morning for @RadioCityNews.

"This man has presided over 150,000 deaths, he's left behind a trail of chaos & destruction, wrecked his political life..I don't see how there can be any coming back for him"

Loved speaking to Andy Mason - doctor and Suffolk's finest Elvis impersonator.
Came out of retirement and vaccinated 2 of his triplet daughters - who also used to be his backup singers.

.@MarcusRashford is way ahead of where I was at 23—and not just because he’s a better athlete. It was great talking with him about everything from our shared love of reading to how we can lift up the next generation of leaders.
Great speaking to @DPH_MAshton about this for @RadioCityNews.

Reporting on the #KillTheBill protests happening in Manchester, Leeds, London and Southampton this bank holiday weekend.
Last week I spoke to Superintendent Mark Runacres about the clash at the Bristol #protests for @GHRnewsUK @GHRSouthWest @samfmbristol.
Amid fears more protests could take place in #Bristol & #Bath, @ASPolice are urging people not to go.
Friday saw more violent clashes after a protest against the Police and Crime Bill. Some say the police have been too aggressive.
