Bristol-based Kiwi reporter for an Oz-based news service for UK medical specialists. No wonder I’m confused. Views my own

@Glutenfreescone @bbcpaddy Well, yes. There are contracts to be won. And only one publisher can win them in any area. But the copy is available to all partners signed up to the service…. I’m not saying it’s the only answer, but it’s an answer, and it wasn’t mentioned in an item on this on BBC4 this am

The BBC’s Local Democracy Service was launched to fill the local democracy deficit resulting from the decimation of local newsrooms. The LDRs (local democracy reporters) do a great job but the country could probably do with more of them @bbcpaddy

Queued behind 5 people at polling station this morning just after it opened, and there were 4 people in the other queue. Good to see it busy. Democracy in action!!

With just over a week until #generalelectionl2024 , a reminder on what some of the main political parties are promising in relation to health (from the perspective of UK medical specialists)

@adam_ldr Yep. I was enjoying the compliment until the unintentional backhand sting

[Amanda Cameron @AmandaSCameron]

@UK4REFORM @theAliceRoberts Yes, it seems it was wasted on you.

[Amanda Cameron @AmandaSCameron]

@adam_ldr You really ought to take your role as an influencer more seriously. The nation’s waistlines are at stake.

No.70 from C5 in Bristol City Centre should have left 10 mins ago. Bus here but no driver in sight 🤷‍♀️ @FirstBSA

[Amanda Cameron @AmandaSCameron]

@adam_ldr Haha and still he tweets! You are the original Eveready bunny, sir. I on the other hand, fell into bed like a sack of spuds #PeakedTooSoon

[Amanda Cameron @AmandaSCameron]

@eekpipe @bristol247 Bristol journalism will be the poorer for it. Sorry to see you go Ellie but excited for you too. What’s next? x

[Amanda Cameron @AmandaSCameron]

@adam_ldr Now that you’re a health nut, you might like to know that The Doctor’s Kitchen has a yummy soup recipe made of beetroot, carrots, celery and ginger. I think there’s a tedious apple in there as well. So basically it’s a hot smoothie. Which sounds like a man I’d like to avoid.

[Amanda Cameron @AmandaSCameron]

@NeilMaggs2 So sorry to hear that Maggsie. Kia kaha, mate. (That’s Māori for “stay strong”). Much aroha (love)

[Amanda Cameron @AmandaSCameron]

@adam_ldr Beautiful. Does the elephant have a name?

[Amanda Cameron @AmandaSCameron]

OMG this is so f*cked. The app should be banned and removed from all app stores immediately https://t.co/pTZvuDC19q

[Amanda Cameron @AmandaSCameron]

@adam_ldr Where are the new Athos & Porthos, d’Artagnan? And more importantly, did they bring beer? (Photo evidence is acceptable)

[Amanda Cameron @AmandaSCameron]

PS This is no criticism of @beardedjourno or @bristol247 or any of its reporters, for whom I have the greatest respect

[Amanda Cameron @AmandaSCameron]

As context for earlier tweet about Bristol mayoral office strategy to undermine @BristolLive and its reporters, here the mayor retweets @bristol247 version of the story (also positive, but lacks balancing fact that Bristol has voted to scrap the directly-elected mayoral model):

Our new documentary film about lying in politics isn't even finished yet but they're already attacking it on the front page of the Mail on Sunday.

Well done @BorisJohnson this was the most effective way of letting me know that you're terrified.

Want to help me uncover the worst thing Johnson has ever done? Join the film's crowdfund: https://t.co/N9FLb3l6O5

[Amanda Cameron @AmandaSCameron]

Head of elected mayor’s office deliberately misrepresents news story about his boss in ongoing strategy to smear the reputation of the newspaper and journalists whose job it is to hold local politicians to account.
