After a VERY long evening at the count in Birmingham, I’m thrilled to share that I’ll be joining
@global
full time reading the news on Capital & Smooth East Midlands at Breakfast.
Such a fantastic team to be a part of and can’t wait to get started in September.
Alex Belfield is walking down the stairs to the cells at Nottingham Crown Court to begin his prison sentence. That concludes today's sentencing. Thanks for following along.
Today was my first day reading bulletins on Capital! Massive thank you to everyone from The Midlands newsteam who have helped me along the way over the last couple of months!
The best first day at LBC today on placement! Thank you so much to

@GarethEvansShow
let an incredibly eager 16 year old come and watch him present his show - I took this picture then. Today, I’m reading the news on his Smooth East Mids breakfast show. Crazy full circle moment.
I'm at the sentencing of Alex Belfield who has been found guilty of stalking four people including BBC & Channel 5 presenter

A massive thank you to the kind lady who brought cold drinks to Ilkeston Road for all the reporters and officers this afternoon. THIS is the kind of city

@iainlee
I’m shocked. I’ve had so many direct messages from people who have told me they were victims but too scared to come forward - it’s not my place to say who. I believe the scale and extent of these crimes is only just emerging.
Today this photo has been shared by Nottinghamshire Police of Alex Belfield who has now been jailed. Massive thanks to RS from Reach who has helped me massively with my court reporting which came into full force last week.
A year ago today I was in London, having the best time
@global
on work experience with the team at LBC. This year I’m reporting in The Midlands for Global and can’t believe how much has happened in a year. Here’s to the next year 🙌👏
The perfect end to the second year at Salford! Somewhere in the last year, I've managed to squeeze in 16 newsdays, a placement at Capital East Mids & LBC in London, working on a series of The Voice UK & Kids, and being offered a real-life grown-ups job.
In the same week I found out I’m lucky enough to be going to
@LBC
for work experience in 2023, I was so thrilled to meet the incredible

and ask her how it felt to win “Outstanding Contribution to Media Award” 🙌
Been chatting to parents of SEND children in Warwickshire today who have been protesting outside the council offices following derogatory comments made by councillors. They say they didn’t mean to cause offence.
BREAKING: Lucy Letby is given a whole life order for the murder of 7 babies and the attempted murder of 6 babies while she worked on the neonatal unit at The Countess of Chester Hospital. Mr Justice Goss said her crimes were pre-meditated, calculated, and cunning |
@radionewshub
A great first week at RadioNewsHub reading some of their national bulletins and today sending in a report after news broke a man had died in Manchester as a result of a dog attack.
Tomorrow I’m getting my whole family to join me on air for a special Christmas Eve breakfast show from the kitchen table on High Peak 1. What could possibly go wrong… oh and I’ve already had to print a warning to Aunty Fi about the use of STRONG language 🤦🏼♂️😂
In todays court reporting diaries, I’ve just been mistaken for a defendant. Approached by the defendants barrister asking if I was him. Full marks for comedy from him though said: that could have given you something to write about 😂
A sad day across
#Manchester
but also drawing some closure as the final part of the inquiry has been published after almost 6 years since the Manchester Arena Bombing. We covered the publification live on Quays News.
To Catch a Copper is such a shocking and upsetting watch, I'm not surprised that officers from the force are angry it's being shown. Arguably, that makes it all the more important to show. It's Channel 4 doing what they do best and if you haven't seen it you really should 😳😬
'Of course we'd like to see Nigel back, he speaks for millions of people.'
While touring Ashfield as Reform UK's first MP, Lee Anderson promises to 'deliver' for the party and admits he'd love to see Nigel Farage 'back in front line politics.'
Great to be back doing bulletins on Capital this morning for Rugby, Coventry and Warwickshire! The best bit about todays early start was passing my friends housemate as she was coming back from a night out 😂🤯
I’ve actually never been more mortified. Just got shouted on the tannoy at Morrisons petrol station to bring my ID into the shop as I didn’t look 16. Nah I’m not driving anymore. The man in the shop who was the pump next to me asked me how old I actually was. 21 THIS YEAR 😂😭
Sentence for Ben Hewis counts: 2 Years 6 months starting point. To reflect principal of totallity: 2 Years 6 Months running consecutively to previous. That makes 5 years so far.
10 hours of driving later and 1 night in the beautiful Edinburgh… I’ve finally met my brilliant colleagues at Edge Radio … only been with them for 3 years 😂🙌
Is Diana Ross miming? She spoke over the end and start of the last and current song? And spoke halfway through but the song carried on? 👀
#PlatinumPartyatthePalace
The judge is now discussing the impact of "transphobic and hateful comments" which were "motivated by jealousy" that Belfield made to broadcaster
@StephanieHirst
I’ve just been on the first holiday I’ve been on in 2 years where I haven’t taken my mic or laptop with me, and it was SO good to unwind. This is your sign that it’s ok to put the out of office on 🙌
Just had the pleasure of speaking to

Please whoever is doing the comms for Starmer and Sunak tell them in this break to stop talking over Julie. Such a terrible look and total lack of respect 🤦🏼♂️

A friend of mine has just revealed until they moved in with me they didn’t know you could listen to the radio outside of the car! I’m absolutely mind blown 🤯👏
