Here’s one for you — when I was 13, I started presenting a ‘what’s on’ segment for a youth show on @RadioBorders . If you’d told me then, 10 years later I’d be reading their news, I’d have been overjoyed — never mind reading the news for the entire UK commercial radio network!

A bit of a change of scenery - had a fantastic week down in London reporting for LBC. Mega tiring, but an all-round great time & can’t wait for the next visit!

First Minister Nicola Sturgeon says call centres which are still expecting staff to come to work should consider carefully whether they need to be open. "If you're not essential to the wellbeing of the country, you should be closed," she says.
