Southampton City Council is one of the 23 authorities. Its director of legal and governance has said: “We do not believe there is any valid cause of action by Thurrock Borough Council against this authority and if any proceedings are issued they will be vigorously defended."

Very pleased to take part in an open day at Leeds Family Court today as part of @louisetickle and @TBIJ’s family court awareness week. I played a member of the press in a case which was watched by around 100 students and members of the public.

Spot a loose thread, pull at it and then keep doing so until it unwinds. My favourite type of journalism 👏👏

This is a cracking explainer by ⁦@rianna_croxford⁩ about how she put her 3 year investigation together after spotting a single cryptic Instagram post. It shows the dogged determination required. bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…
