Today I’m saying bye to @BBC5Live and the BBC. In the months I’ve been here we’ve had a constitutional crisis, a winter election, a departure from the EU, 2 royal dramas, a global pandemic and a racial equality movement sweeping the world...It’s been busy

As someone who owes an awful lot to BBC local radio, it’s really sad to think it’s going to be harder for people to start out the way I did. The current crisis has proven the worth of local broadcasting, it’s a shame the powers that be can’t see that.
