Cut-through quality political commentary right here.....

New political pondlife species - LABOURDILDO!
Labour backbencher acting lìke the terrified spineless Tory MPs who ignored GE electorate wishes during Conservative years using their guillotine leadership rules, despite Labour rules making a quick overthrow of a PM impossible.

A group of people doing CrossFit ran past a restaurant, and diners who saw them assumed there was an emergency.

Thinking something was wrong, the customers jumped up and ran away alongside them.

Delays and inefficiencies due to short-staffed bodies which make up the criminal justice system - police, the bar, CPS, probation, prison service are all threadbare and one mistake from any of them scuppers the hearing..

Great piece of journalism about the state of our courts - in the wake of the Government's egomaniacal plan to axe juries in many cases - showing how a day in Crown Court reveals so much wasted time is the problem, adjournments after adjournments...

Having to watch an axe murder, over and over and over again. The biggest change in covering court in 25 years is now you now watch murders in glorious HD, from various angles. I'm a VHS Faces of Death veteran but it must be taking its toll #journalism

Due to the storm, and public transport frustrated to get to the #MidlandsMediaAwards mid-dinner cos there were some great old faces to have a chinwag with, 25 years of being in the industry means I knew young and old in TV, radio and print.

There is a Malcom Tucker being sentenced at Wolves Crown today for harassment and racially threatening behaviour.
Is it worth writing the story for In The Thick Of It and In The Loop fans?

@dadge Thanks Adrian, shocking. I'm on it

[Star Reporter Adam @AdamLocal]

Just filed last story of an interesting Sunday shift, 3 hours in Blocko, borderline banter/threatening behaviour in a pub whilst filing copy. I will argue to the death the Black Country is the best news patch in the country, because of fellas like Keith
