"I think feeling pride in the extractive nature of British colonial rule is deeply unhelpful." Taking down the statue of Robert Clive is a good step towards being "honest" about British history and would "make us stronger," says Labour peer Thangam Debbonaire. @ThangamDebb

@charbergman @itvcalendar @ITVCentral Amazing! Well done my love

After an amazing three years at @itvcalendar and a very busy three months covering some of the biggest stories in the Midlands, I'm making the move to @ITVCentral permanently as a Content Editor! Very excited for this new adventure 😀✨

Times Radio delivers a quality of interview that you’d struggle to find elsewhere - and gets better all the time. Stephen Sackur, the latest to join, is a great example.
