One of the greatest joys of Herefordshire is the amazing range and quality of its music.

A few weeks ago I highlighted the possibility of Parliamentary moves that would potentially undermine the constitutional basis of British government.

As I write this on Monday evening, the House of Commons stands in uncharted political territory. Terra Incognita, as they used to say on the maps.

Local MP Jesse Norman joined a large gathering of local people last Friday to celebrate the move of NMITE, the New Model in Technology and Engineering, Herefordshire's new university, into its first campus buildings at Blackfriars in the city.

Very soon Parliament will—at last—have to make its mind up on Brexit.

Last year I wrote to the Prime Minister to suggest a loan of our Mappa Mundi and Magna Carta to France, recognising the generous loan of the Bayeux Tapestry to the UK. And I haven’t given up hope—as always the key is persistence.

Listeners who tuned into BBC Hereford and Worcester on Wednesday might have been confused--and hopefully relieved--to hear their MP talking not about Brexit, but a local pub.

Local MP Jesse Norman has launched a new cross-party campaign with local Councillors in Hereford to save the Broadleys pub on the A49 Ross Road in South Wye, site of which has been earmarked for a new Co-op store.  

The advent of the Chinese New Year in February: the year of the Pig. But for many people in and around Ross, the rapid rise in the number of feral pigs and boar is no cause for celebration.
