Lucy Beaumont … stepping up & whistleblowing to make changes.
What a woman 👏👏👏

Using NDAs to close down young people … sounds to me like these men do know what they’re doing is wrong, whilst saying they’ve done nothing wrong.

Genuinely think there’s something in events giving attendees a QR code to a professionally filmed video they will get to download shortly after the event to try and combat scenes like this. If everybody’s watching this through their screens, what’s the point of even being there.

At both Southport and Tarleton today to lay wreaths in remembrance.

It is unconscionable that any veteran who has served our country should have to sleep on the streets.

That’s why this Remembrance weekend, we’re matching our words with action. Read this 👇 from the PM.

‘Who in their right mind would risk diluting a brand that connects so personally and closely with its communities? Like #ChildreninNeed, any other broadcaster would kill for a portfolio spanning 39 locations that delivers what BBC Local Radio does.’ 5/

[Patrick Hurley @patrick_hurley]

Same for Southport. Be careful out there tonight.

[Formby Bubble @FormbyBubble]

WEATHER ALERT: Thick fog has blanketed #Formby tonight, with poor visibility and icy windscreens reported. Please drive carefully, slow down and allow extra time, especially ahead of Remembrance Sunday services.
Stay safe!

Hats off to @AndrewBrownEdit for this. Great to see.

You may have heard - Southport is a town back on the up. Hundreds of millions of capital investment coming into town, a tourist economy that's bouncing back post-covid, and a thriving arts & culture scene too.

And as of Monday 9th Nov, Stand Up For Southport is also starting a daily email (sign up here - https://t.co/PGryRGdcty ) in your inbox by 8am, seven days a week. It's a quick read, packed with the stories that matter to you.

[Patrick Hurley @patrick_hurley]

One for @benhaslam_ I think.

Just last month, The Visiter launched its new daily email newsletter (sign up here - https://t.co/bUpPWdjd22 ) giving one story a day on the town's prospects and what's happening.

[Patrick Hurley @patrick_hurley]

If you've always had a soft spot for Southport (and let's face it, if you're from the City Region, you probably do) then sign up to read them. And if you've got an interest in local journalism, sign up too, and see how we're bucking the trend here.

I miss the old weekly local freesheets that came through your letterbox (it was the Prescot Reporter where I grew up, but you'll have your own version), and am heartened to see a new type of digital equivalent try something new.
