Tomorrow now (30th)! Thanks Tristan, fascinating story.
.@BristolLive first told the story of Bristol’s CAZ-buster John Lyon back in August, when he was ‘Mr L’ & had won 3/3 appeals.
Now it’s 12/12 & you’ll see him today with @SimsonPete on @bbcpointswest
Here’s his story so far👇🏼

Good evening/morning from the @sgloscouncil election count. I’m here for a spot of @BBCBristol reporting duty. First things first. All hail @adam_ldr the 🤴 of overnight snacks.
I made a film about the upcoming local elections. Pls let me know if you find my passport.
It's local election time for some of us 🗳
Here's @SimsonPete x3 to guide us through what that means.
Geoff is a fantastic colleague who helped me immeasurably when I started out. Totally selfless and a quite brilliant broadcaster. He will leave a huge hole @BBCRB love you GT. Top man x
Tune in folks x
Can't believe I am going type this.. Politics West could actually be worth a watch this Sunday, with something about Bristol.. @SimsonPete doing a bit about the underground, & here's little bit of it in advance.
I'm just off to have a lay down, to recover from the total shock.
Have a read and Go visit folks x
The incomparable @SimsonPete has chosen his Bristol favourites. I can confirm that in more than a decade of this feature, nobody other than him has named a recycling centre among their five picks. bristol247.com/news-and-feat…

In a series of exclusive interviews for BBC News, members of the Somali community in Bristol share the impact of their treacherous journeys to safety on their mental health and the dangers of untreated trauma. My report for BBC Points West in collaboration with @SimsonPete

EXCLUSIVE: “You die piece by piece and by the time you arrive, your mental health is damaged.” Words of a Somali mother who walked hundreds of miles to get to the UK. Myself and @SimsonPete have been working on this important story about untreated trauma.
