Role 1 has gone live: 4 days a week weekend newsreader/reporter. We’re looking for someone with a great voice, and a hunger to curate brilliant bulletins and drive the news agenda across the weekend and into the following week. careers.bbc.co.uk/job/Nottingham…

Chris Williamson: Former Derby MP confirms election bid bbc.in/48REa8o


Love this story. The Twitter account almost everyone in the U.S. Congress relies on for explaining arcane procedures... is a 20-year-old student in Durham (England). politico.com/news/magazine/…


#Budget2024 detail emerging: £5m of levelling up funding, to be spent on cultural projects yet to be determined, in both Erewash and High Peak.


The budget says pension funds will have to declare how much of their investments are in UK companies. Derbyshire's public sector pension fund already reports it - it was 12% at the last count - although it's probably higher than that once private equity investments are included.


Looking forward to the next piece of #Gladiators content from my creative colleagues @BBCDerby The last one did ok.

Derbyshire has an amber flood warning in place ⚠️ The River Derwent could reach levels similar to November 2019, when it peaked at 5.18 metres. Our reporter Jack Tymon has been in Matlock this morning, where locals are preparing for floods.


Do read the latest Derby & Derbyshire vs RRS hearing over the Sinfin waste plant. More fun than it sounds. Fave bit starts: "Whilst 'tit for tat' arguments are rarely edifying..." Seven-week trial scheduled for summer 2024. Two sides miles apart. bailii.org/ew/cases/EWHC/…

The Eagle Market was due to close today, but a legal battle means some traders are remaining open for the foreseeable future. Derbion has said some traders will remain open while discussions are ongoing.
