This councillor was given the opportunity (twice) to offer this explanation to me as to why he farted 'towards a colleague' during a meeting. Instead, he just put the phone down on me. And now serves up this. Sceptical. lancashiretelegraph.co.uk/ne…

I’ll celebrate the day Leeds ditch Oxen Sports and it’s terrible kits more than any Grand Final or Challenge Cup. Every single original design has been awful.

Important coverage from @JStott93809 of a headteacher who deliberately lied to parents after falsifying exam results. Parents need to trust teachers and actions like this bring the profession into disrepute. lancashiretelegraph.co.uk/ne…

Terminating Courtsdesk restricts access to court data, damaging journalists ability to do their jobs, and letting dangerous criminals get away with avoiding their offending being made public. It is the polar opposite of open justice

'Order to delete Courtsdesk is the very opposite of open justice'. If you care about open justice, call on the MoJ to reverse this terrible decision immediately @AdnanHussainMP @sarahsmithlab @OliverRyanUK @AndyMacNaeMP @Jonathan_Hinder @mayaellisuk lancashiretelegraph.co.uk/ne…
Order to delete Courtsdesk data should worry anyone who cares about open justice

Order to delete Courtsdesk data should worry anyone who cares about open justice

The order to delete Courtsdesk’s archive is not an administrative tidying-up exercise, it's an attack on open justice.

I’m glad this story has finally got to see the light of day, Tahir Syed has seen justice for his horrific crimes, and I hope Asghar Badshah’s family can find some solace in the fact his killers have been jailed.

Absolute howler from the whole match official team at #SLHulLei. If it’s touch it’s out on the full, really quite basic knowledge but somehow the touch judge, ref and video ref have all missed it 🤦🏻‍♂️

Glad Hull got a point out of that. Would have been a robbery had Leigh snatched it. Great game in spite of the officials

Really poor coverage of the Leeds vs Wakefield game on @SkySportsRL. Technical problems throughout, no score graphic all 1st half, all out of sync, glitchy and then lose comms with 5 mins left and then the whole thing with 2 mins to go in a tight game 😂 farcical @SkySports
