Hallam FC is one of the jewels in Sheffield’s sporting crown, but after months of serious financial trouble and the mass desertion of most of its players, the club is now essentially at war with itself. Who will prevail and what will this all mean for an important part of our sporting heritage?

I was genuinely shocked by this. All kids should have easy access to the post-16 education of their choice, including 6th form, with a range of subjects to accommodate common career paths. Whether that is a 6th form nearby, or dedicated transport if it's across the city, it urgently needs sorting.

“Why is it only the kids from this side of town who have to build resilience?” Of the 19 sixth form colleges in Sheffield, 10 are in the south west of the city — and none are in the south east. Why should kids in the south east limit their ambitions because they live in the wrong part of the city?

An issue I've seen highlighted is the death of local crime reporting - there's no-one to sit in court. Though this wasn't criminal, the point stands: two national columnists, as ever, commenting on something of which they know little. Typically superb article from The Trib.

Just days after his death, Telegraph columnist Isabel Oakeshott wondered whether the 61-year-old was Britain’s “first political prisoner” before describing his sentence and eventual death as “a stain on the British state”. The Guardian’s Owen Jones argued jailing those with racist views could never cure them of their bigotry. But the media’s fascination with Lynch hasn’t extended to time-consuming reporting about his death. For all but the first and last two days of his inquest, I was the only journalist in the room.
