There’s little animosity between #Forest & Notts County - not uncommon for fans to alternate home games between Meadow Lane & City Ground - so it’s a real joy to see @NFFC playing superb football with such success (7-0!!)

Has the Times sacked its Media Correspondent? Scrolling through its news list and it’s missed a huge story involving the monarchy, journalist ethics and a billion pound cover up at a hugely powerful media organisation. Surely more important than whether dogs suffer from January blues?

It’s so obvious it shouldn’t need stating - taking down the barriers to trade with the #EU which were created by #Brexit will boost our economy - if the Govt is serious about growth (it is) then FGS get on with it!
The new European Union trade chief responsible for post-Brexit negotiations has told the BBC that a "pan-European [customs] area is something we could consider" as part of "reset" discussions between the UK and EU.

The new ‘Independents’ never supported Starmer & their treatment of their party’s Parly candidate from the time of her selection was appalling.
@JOCampbellMP has shown courage & dignity. She deserves the support of everyone in Broxtowe.
