At least five threatening tweets have been reported to the police by Broxtowe MP Anna Soubry.

She said it came after a number of pro-European Conservatives, including Rushcliffe's Ken Clarke, were branded "Mutineers" in the Daily Telegraph this morning and "Collaborators" in the Daily Mail.

Ms Soubry said the move amounts to "bullying" and told the House of Commons the matter had been referred to the police.

Prime Minister Theresa May says she hopes that parliament can "come together" over Brexit and is insisting that she's "listening carefully" to the government's critics.

The Swifts used hundreds of lights and baubles to decorate their home in Nuthall and this weekend will officially turn them on, ably assisted by the Siddiqui family, off Channel 4's Gogglebox.

Thousands of people have visited their property over the years, raising more than £80,000 to date for charities.

This year they are fundraising for Hayward House, the palliative care unit at Nottingham City Hospital and When You Wish Upon A Star.

Here's hoping this year is as successful as last, pictured.

Police have praised a man who single-handedly apprehended a violent robber.

Claudio Rosu, 24, (pictured) carried out a series of attacks in Beeston in September, the court has heard.

The Romanian national was eventually tackled by local man Nick Martin on Beeston High Road, two days after he had seen a CCTV appeal for Rosu.

Nick (pictured below) said: "I look over at the doors of Sun Valley amusements and he just came walking out of the doors and I instantly recognised him.

"I sprinted after him just down the road and got him in a choke hold. He was wriggling to get through, he was biting, scratching, spitting but he managed to get into his wallet and he was pulling out money and saying 'I'm sorry'... I think he was thinking he was getting some sort of karma."

Rosu was today jailed for four years after pleading guilty to robbery, assault and theft at Nottingham Crown Court.

The judge expects him to be deported as soon as his sentence is finished.

It's after the Anthony Nolan charity made an appeal for more new mums to register to donate theirs after giving birth.

Charlotte Ryan said: "I donated four years ago and they found a match and my sons cord saved a life. It’s not until recently in July when I gave birth the ladies from Antony Nolan told me that not everyone’s cord actually matches and she cried when I told her Tyler’s did. As it’s very rare. Nice knowing you saved a life."

This is one of Britain’s first ever artificial Christmas trees.

It was brought by Diana Rigby's parents in the 1930s and is thought to have come from Woolworths at a cost of just sixpence.

Mrs Rigby said the 3ft 6ins Christmas tree used to take pride of place her family home when she was growing up.

She said: "It used to come out every Christmas and it was the main family tree. I don’t remember much about those days, or how it was decorated, but my mother told me I once thrashed the tree around when I was very little because I was angry that she’d put the baubles on without me.”

Mrs Rigby, from Derby, has decided to sell the tree at auction to raise money for children’s Cancer Research.

How many people does it take to free a badger from a giant tank? Quite a lot apparently.

Image source, RSPCA

The fire service received a call from the RSPCA requesting assistance to release the animal trapped inside a tank used for processing sewage in Whetstone.

Thankfully, it wasn't full at the time.

They then had to wait for a vet to arrive to sedate the animal but once it had been tranquillised two firemen managed to go inside and retrieve the badger.

At least there was a happy ending after all that.

Miranda Moore, prosecuting, said the defendants drove the girl around while ringing escorts and stopping to buy beer.

Megan was found half-covered by a coat, lying in the back of a car that had been involved in a crash near Enderby on Sunday 14 May.

Mr Burder and Mr King, both 28, are accused of her manslaughter by gross negligence by supplying her with MDMA, strangling her and then neglecting her life-threatening condition.

Blood tests revealed she had "10 times the amount of MDMA" in her system than either of the two men.

Mr Burder, of Braunstone Avenue, and Mr King, of Waltham Avenue, Leicester, deny wrongdoing and the trial continues.
