Two MP’s have written jointly to the new Secretary of State for Health and Social Care James Murray to demand urgent action on Stepping Hill Hospital.
They say the hospital that serves tens of thousands of people across #Stockport being left to deteriorate.

I want to thank two female assistants at @bmstores Ashton-under-Lyne who loaded heavy bags of stones into the boot of my car. I hadn’t asked them but they insisted and they stayed with the loaded trolley until I moved my car to the entrance. That is excellent service!

[John Pickford MBE @johnpickford]

Will do

[Bee Network @BeeNetwork]

@johnpickford Hello. I'm really sorry to hear this. Can you confirm which bus service please? Thank you.

[John Pickford MBE @johnpickford]

What a shambles @BeeNetwork I have been sitting along with lots of other passengers at Ardwick bus depot for a replacement driver to arrive. The original driver has been ringing to find out where they are.
Taken hour for a journey from Denton to Manchester.
Car next time.

Well done @ameliasalmons you work hard and continue to produce some impressive multimedia reporting.

Work update…🎙️🚨

I’m now the East Midlands Reporter for @bauermedia 🗞️

Two years ago I shadowed this role on work experience - now it’s officially mine! Full circle moment 🚀

I’m still reading the news for the region twice a week too!

Got a story? You know where I am 👀

[John Pickford MBE @johnpickford]

I couldn’t agree with you more @HDewarSport It is so important that there are still organisations such as @Clyde1News who invest in eyewitness reporters like @mollytulett who will drop everything to bring this trusted content to listeners and social media followers.

[heatherdewar @HDewarSport]

Well done to @Clyde1News @mollytulett for their reporting of the Glasgow fire last night. It’s becoming increasingly difficult to separate AI from the truth, and in situations such as these, it’s even more important that the truth is told with clarity and accuracy.
Clyde used video throughout the evening to illustrate the devastating destruction, and exemplified why outlets such as this are so important when it comes to breaking news on the ground.

A huge fire in #Glasgow - video from @Clyde1News team at the scene.

[Clyde 1 News @Clyde1News]

The dome on the corner of Glasgow's Union and Gordon Streets has now collapsed as a fire rages through a major city centre landmark.

Glasgow Central Station is closed and the Grand Central Hotel has been evacuated as more than 60 firefighters using 15 appliances battle to control the blaze.

[John Pickford MBE @johnpickford]

@jamesgould23 You have learned so much over that time and now you are an accomplished multimedia reporter who shows enthusiasm, creativity, versatility and likeability.

[John Pickford MBE @johnpickford]

Fantastic result - what an exciting sport

Really sad to hear this news this morning.

[Snooker Legends @Snookerlegends]

Heart breaking to share the news that we've lost the great 'JV' John Virgo this morning, he passed away in Spain. Rosie and Brooke-Leah would like everyone to know. Our hearts go out to them both, Gary and the grandchildren. JV was doing what he loved to do right up until the end, entertaining everyone. Such an important person in my life but in our sport in general. An amazingly loyal friend to me, and someone you felt was sat with you at the match when he was commentating on TV. Hard to take this one...one great person who touched so many lives and loved the game. We will never forget you bud. RIP JV

[John Pickford MBE @johnpickford]

@BBCSteveR @BBCPanorama @BBCiPlayer @BBCOne An excellent insight into the tremendous work you do. You are so skilful and dedicated. This is a masterclass on how to get the balance just right - knowing when and how to ask those challenging questions in a country where stepping out of line could have serious consequences.

I can’t believe what I am seeing here in the light of what happened in the bar in a Swiss ski resort!

So we popped in the Lava hot stone kitchen in Conwy ❤️👌

It is derby day in Manchester!
Here are some match day programmes I collected from the past.

Thanks for the memories.
I have worked alongside some amazing people.
Covered tragedy and triumph.

A special event has been held at Manchester’s Central Library for everyone involved in a major project to save, archive and digitise decades worth of valuable radio audio.
Audio Archivist David Govier told me more…

Great to catch up with Mark Radcliffe at the #PiccadillyRadio exhibition in #Manchester today.
Mark and Mike Sweeney then decided to recreated a picture from the past - without the Bee Gees of course!
