Grim update on Bristol hospitals. The system is "under extreme pressure" as Covid cases rise - 242 patients are fighting the virus in the city's hospitals
Latest Bristol City Council update says case increase is "largely due to Christmas mixing, but also the new variant of Covid-19 which is extremely infectious".
There's been a sharp rise in cases since the week to December 22. Then, Bristol’s infection rate was 190 new cases per 100,000 people

That rate is up to 305.6, according to yesterday’s Public Health England update. But the figures only go up to Dec 30 and could well rise further

Got an FOI response almost three years late... a short thread
Back in December 2017, when I was a reporter for the Gloucestershire Echo, I went to a knife crime event where a police officer gave a talk mentioning he'd been running undercover stings on local shops - sending in underage teens to see whether the store would sell them knives.
That's an interesting story, I thought. So I asked the @Glos_Police press office for some details about the operation, and the shops which had fallen foul of it. They said they'd rather not give those details.
