The region's textiles industry is experiencing a revival. 

New figures from the National Textiles Growth Programme shows that 444 jobs were created in Leicestershire in the last four years as a result of investment.

Around 100 jobs were created in Nottinghamshire and Derbyshire over the same period and textiles factories are also opening up more apprenticeship roles as investment increases.

Jeremy Corbyn critic Chris Leslie, Labour MP for Nottingham East, has told BBC Radio Nottingham this morning: "I'm not going to pretend I've not had differences with my leader.

"But we have a parliamentary system and we have to make sure we get a maximum number of Labour MPs... to restrain the Conservatives."

Ranieri wasn't on anybody's radar and clearly they went for a big name and it worked.

There's just part of me that feels a little bit sorry for Craig Shakespeare because the same thing might happen again.

He almost becomes unemployable because wherever he goes, if he goes in as a number two, the moment you have a bad game he's going to want the job and someone's going to get sacked.

So no-one is going to want to employ him as a number two. Does he get a big job as a number one? I think that will be difficult. Will he want to step down to the Championship? Probably not, because he's still very inexperienced.
