It’s 2031. You’re a senior official in the Cabinet Office. A respiratory pandemic has broken out in China. You crack open the Hallett Inquiry recommendations to find out what to do and learn…

Maybe..

Hey Max - yeah that would be a good idea. It’s been discussed but we haven’t found an easy way to do it yet. Send me an email and I’ll comp you on Tribune for now.

After Becky’s mum died, it was time to sell her childhood home. Then Andrew Milne got in touch Plus: As the search for answers continues, The Tribune takes to the road

More excellent reporting from the @sheffieldtribune.bsky.social as they work to track down Andrew Milne. And it starts with a really heartbreaking tale. It does feels like they’ve really broken any power this guy had over anyone… www.sheffieldtribune.co.uk/after-beckys...

Remembering Rachel Cooke | The Observer

So sorry to hear the sad news about Rachel, who was the most brilliantly versatile, warm, perceptive writer (& lovely colleague). And way too young for this. observer.co.uk/news/nationa...

Their bosses read their WhatsApps. Then their jobs were on the line Exclusive: Literature festival Writing on the Wall says employees committed gross misconduct. Staff say they’ve had their privacy “violated”

An exclusive in today’s

You and Yours - Leasehold Homes, Black Friday Sales and the UK Plastics Pact - BBC Sounds What happens when leasehold homeowners are asked to buy their freehold?

“You can imagine, as a 90-something living on her own, she read that with outright panic.”

Great to see BBC Radio 4 following up our leasehold investigation on You and Yours today. (Link here: www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/..., first story)

Huge respect for the 2% of Celeb Traitors viewers who think that David Olusoga played the best game.

Meet the man taking on Manchester's 'Christmas Refusniks' 'I would start Christmas in August if I was allowed to'

3. Bit of a jarring shift in tone from the above, but Ophira Gottlieb's Mill piece about the Christmas-obsessed Councillor Pat Kearney is packed with perfect lines of writing.

That would be a good rule

Thanks for sharing @rorycj.bsky.social - and well done to the @sheffieldtribune.bsky.social team. Read their note today and join as a member to get behind them.

Sometimes it’s worth the risk “We will definitely bring proceedings for Defamation and Malicious Falsehood if you publish such complete and malicious lies.”

“Bowing down to threats isn’t in The Tribune’s DNA, and doing so would mean giving up on our journalistic mission.

“We can only take that approach because we have the backing of our paying members, whose subscriptions fund all of our work and give us the confidence that we can take on all comers.”

www.sheffieldtribune.co.uk/sometimes-it... I wrote last week about two villains and one hero in the battle between truth and lies. Well here’s another hero - the Sheffield Tribune, one of the Mill stable of independent news sites, had the courage to publish an important story despite legal threats..

A London lawyer bought hundreds of Sheffield freeholds. Then the ‘very aggressive’ letters arrived Exclusive: The Tribune can reveal that Andrew Milne has threatened leaseholders with high court action. It ‘broke my heart’ one woman says

City of London lawyer Andrew Milne bought up hundreds of freeholds on homes across Sheffield before advising leaseholders that, if they didn’t pay him exorbitant sums (upwards of £25,000), he’d see them in court. Well done @sheffieldtribune.bsky.social @joshiherrmann.bsky.social for exposing this.

This story is exactly why local journalism is still so important. Well done to the team at the @sheffieldtribune.bsky.social.

Top investigation this, and great local journalism

Totally agree

The inside story of the London lawyer demanding Sheffield residents pay up tens of thousands — or face him in court.
