The Labour Party in Sheffield says it won't be commenting yet on a decision by the national party to reinstate Hallam MP Jared O'Mara.

Mr O'Mara was suspended as part of investigation into his conduct.

The conclusion is that he should be given a formal warning, with a mandatory requirement to attend training.

The suspension last October followed the discovery of homophobic and misogynistic posts he'd made on social media.

He's apologised for those, but has denied claims he verbally abused one of his constituents.

The MP says he won't comment until he's seen the full ruling by Labour.

An investigation is continuing today into a fire which caused major damage at a North Yorkshire school.

The new depot will be built near the M1 rather than in the village of Crofton as originally planned.

He said the scheme will include "major civil engineering projects and electrification" but stopped short of guaranteeing full electrification.

One farm in Doncaster says the dry spell has had an impact on crops and animal feed and water is starting to run low.

Charlotte Toothill, who is a farmer from Doncaster, says the harvest will also have to come earlier this year.

"The grass is all drying up and burning off which means there's not enough feed for the sheep and cattle, so we might have to revert to going to the winter storage feed and using that up.

"It has a big impact," she adds.

The University of Sheffield is to open student housing where only lesbian, gay, bisexual or transgender students will be allowed to stay.

The students' union says it's to avoid bullying in mixed accommodation at the university.

Eden Ladley, from the National Union of Students, said: "The reason why LGBT+ people may want to live with other LGBT+ people is the realistic risk of harassment and intimidation that too many students find in their university accommodation."

The equivocation of electrification was another "blow" for people in the north, says Lucy Powell MP.
