Serving MP set to become county council leader
Serving Mansfield MP Ben Bradley (Con) is set to become the new leader of Nottinghamshire CC, creating a virtually unprecedented situation.
Cllr Bradley, who was elected as a Mansfield North councillor last week, was today confirmed by Conservative councillors as their nomination for the new leader after they took control of the council this weekend. The move awaits confirmation by the full council.
The Conservative party picked up 37 of the council s 66 available seats, having previously ruled in coalition with the Mansfield Independents.
Cllr Bradley has been a county councillor for the last four years and told Chad news site that tying the two jobs together “is the best way to get things done”.

Difficult Women podcast, Global Radio
Let me say this up front. I am an unalloyed Rachel Johnson fan. Like most of the Johnson family, she is an adornment to our national life, even if she sometimes puts her foot in it. Her recent memoir of her time in Change UK and the LibDems,
Rake’s Progress: My Political Midlife Crisis, was a brilliantly written and very amusing page turner. If it hadn’t been published right at the start of Covid, it would have troubled the bestseller charts.
At roughly the same time, she started presenting a weekly show on LBC, which in turn has led to her launching a podcast of her own, in which she interviews a series of so-called ‘difficult women’. Quite why Global Radio didn’t call it Rachel Johnson’s ‘Bloody Difficult Women’ is a moot point, given that’s what Ken Clarke had called Theresa May, and where the phrase originated from. Had I been her, I would have insisted on it.
Emmerdale as her guilt over the death of Paul reached a breaking point.
Liv (Isobel Steele) believes she is responsible for the death of the villain earlier last month, as she failed to rescue him from the rubble of the barn he was stuck under after a car hit it.
While Vinny (Bradley Johnson) is going through therapy to process the death of his father and the abuse he inflicted on him, Liv has been bottling up her feelings since the accident. However, both Vinny and her brother Aaron (Danny Miller) have started to notice that she is not okay.
