After nine years in journalism with the last five spent as a local democracy reporter in both Bournemouth and Portsmouth, as of this week I have moved onto something a bit different - working as a communications officer for Avon and Somerset Police

@JDLewisMedia @NationalWorld @SouthamptonCC It’s a great job and you’ll be working with a great team - enjoy!

After six months away from the world of journalism, excited to be getting back into the thick of things from today as a local democracy reporter with @NationalWorld mainly covering @SouthamptonCC. #LDReporter

@JDLewisMedia Thanks mate!

@JoshGWright You did an incredible job boss! Those late night Twitter threads were the stuff of legend and you were always missed in Bournemouth. Best of luck with the new job. No doubt you'll be an absolute pro!

Portsmouth council keeps up pressure over Aquind interconnector plans bbc.in/45LUPJT

@joesweeney4 But we haven’t received anything like that amount of money. We got £9m straight up from Sarr which only covers what we still owe Rennes. There’s £25m for JP which will need to cover running costs, including what until recently was a massively bloated squad on Prem wages

Watford have received over 48 million in transfer fees this summer and spent 60k, we clearing the loans for a sell off, as the signing of free transfers will only get us so far #WatfordFC

@geraldvjuk Hope all is well

Last night I spent 7 hours at A&E & had my first ever CT scan. Fear of bleed on the brain, but only post concision so must rest. Thanks to all at QA, GP who spotted it, Mark & Chris for acting as taxi drivers & Jack for making connection between injury weeks ago & falling now.

Sir Elton killing it as always. No one compares. Legend Great choice in football teams and all #Glastonbury2023 #watfordfc
