After a lot of hard work and dedication, today I found out I passed my @NCTJ_news NQJ exams and I am now a senior reporter. I am so proud of myself. I finished university during the height of the Coronavirus pandemic and quickly secured a job with @lancstelegraph. (1/3)

Good to see you all looking so well. Few more specs and beards around. Have a great Christmas.

@BeeNetwork Why is there only one service running between Bury and Manchester every 12 minutes during rush hour? Nowhere near enough for the volume of people

Good morning! Emma here to assist your journeys today 😀 Let me know if you need any help, and I'll be happy to help. Have a great day!

@BeeNetwork Will 1 day tickets for the tram be sold in the new app?

Day two of the Bee Network... We are still buzzing! 😊 We are here to help with any travel queries, so please do drop us a tweet if you need us. Hope you all have a great day!

@JosephFraiman Hey Joseph - can you send me a DM?

COVID policies and the vaccines were all bad decision, but we need to move on to discussing ways to change the system that created them. Pharmaceutical companies should not be allowed to run their own studies for drug approval, and we need to stop them from funding our FDAs and CDCs. FDA needs to be broken in two. 1. A drug approval agency and 2. A separate safety surveillance agency. CDC needs to be broken down into two agencies also, 1. makes public health recommendations 2.independently evaluates the recommendations for efficacy and harm. NIH needs to be broken down from a federal agency funding nearly all science, into smaller NIHs of 50 states. With this system each state level NIH can fund the projects that would best benefit their state, or whatever they want to fund. This would prevent one or two individuals from controlling all science that is funded to allow a diversity of scientific ideas to be flourish. Now is the time to begin asking for these changes, and thinking about better alternative approaches that will reduce the corruption of our current system.

@MCRMetrolink Drivers are still telling people to get off at Crumpsall. Are the drivers being updated that the line is back open?

I have worked with a brilliant team of talented journalists who I will miss. On Monday, I start a new role at GlobalData as a reporter in their pharmaceutical sector. Onwards and upwards ❤️🗞️

It has been emotional - after nearly three years I have worked my final shift at the @lancstelegraph. I've covered a murder trial, countless court cases, Ofsted inspections, planning applications and community stories. (1/2)

The jury reached a verdict today. Otway will be sentenced in May.

@FPL_UncleJack Hi there, we will not be covering every day of the trial this time I am afraid. We will be there for key moments of the trial though. Thank you for getting in touch.

@abi_beaney What happened to day 2?

Today I covered the start of the second trial of the murder of Aya Hachem. The 19-year-old was walking home when she was fatally shot because of a feud between two tyre businesses. Suhayl Suleman and Lewis Otway are on trial for their alleged involvement. lancashiretelegraph.co.uk/news/23059261.…
