Speaking to Jane as she returned to thank Barnsley's emergency staff, who restarted her heart a few months ago, was very heartwarming. A bit of positivity for some very hard-working people who can often get recognition for the wrong reasons (including from the press).

A 12-year-old girl who had a heart transplant just weeks ago is hoping to be home for Christmas after being kept more than 100 miles away from her family for almost six months. Tomorrow's paper is available in all the usual places and online, too. buythepaper.barnsleychronicle.com/subscribe.aspx…

@skinoverbone @ChronOnline @IMcMillan Deadly serious, as always.

Coverage in today's @ChronOnline of @IMcMillan's 'traditional' Yorkshire Pudding throwing competition for Yorkshire Day. Great fun, even though there's a slight wiff of southern Switzerland spaghetti harvest in the @ChronLWatson article.

Free with tomorrow’s Chronicle - a 20-page supplement previewing Barnsley’s 2021/22 season with 19 exclusive player interviews. Done 10 of these now and this was probably hardest due to having Covid and isolating. But I’d also like to think it’s one of the best. Hope fans enjoy

@VIXDigital_Dill @ChronOnline No rhetoric in the story Dillon - just comments from a senior GP at a council meeting, checked with Barnsley's CCG and backed up with analysis of NHS statistics. More phone appointments obviously has implications for everyone in Barnsley - bad and good - which story discusses.

@ChronOnline An intentional devisive headline to get readers to look at the article. GP's have never worked so hard in the past 18 months and this kind of rhetric that 'telephone' is bad 'face to face' is better doesn't help and isn't correct. Maybe Luke could spend a day in General Practice?
