    Did they think nobody would notice?

    Derby County manager Frank Lampard has been featured in a series of pictures released by New York Governor Andrew Cuomo imagining what the upcoming Shirley Chisholm State Park will look like.

    The images have been widely mocked online, but one thing which caught the eye was the former England and Chelsea midfielder enjoying a jog down the waterfront.

    The original image, which has been flipped, was taken when Lampard was out on a jog in Central Park in 2015 while he was playing for New York City.

  9. Printing firm backs people's vote on final Brexit dealpublished at 17:32 British Summer Time 6 September 2018

    BBC News Online

    A printing firm in Blidworth is donating £10,000 to the People's Vote, which is campaigning for a referendum on the country's final Brexit deal.

    Mirical Emblems' managing director Jonathan Dul said: "What I keep seeing in the media and reported in the news, we can’t trust the government to come up with a decent deal.

    “There is a danger we could fall out of Europe without a deal at all and that would be disastrous for businesses of all types.”

    The Nottinghamshire company employs 55 people in the county and a further 10 people in sales roles across Europe.

    While updating MPs on negotiations on Tuesday, Brexit Secretary Dominic Raab said "dangling" the prospect of another vote at this stage would invite the EU to give the UK "the very worst terms".

    BBC News Online

    Derbyshire County Council has confirmed there are no plans to close any of its libraries after the issue was raised in Parliament earlier.

    Dennis Skinner, MP for Bolsover, called on Culture Secretary Michael Ellis to take action.

    Mr Skinner said: “Has he been to Derbyshire? Has he had words with the Tory-controlled county council? Whose first decision, almost its first decision, was to close 20 libraries in the county of Derbyshire.

    "Get something done about it."

    Dennis Skinner

    However a council spokeswoman said proposed changes to the way its libraries were run did not include closure.

    She said: "Council leader councillor Barry Lewis has been clear that no libraries will close on his watch.

    “The council held a 12-week consultation asking Derbyshire residents to give their views on the proposals earlier this year which include transferring 20 libraries out of a total of 45 to community management."

    More comments are coming in on our story about Sophia Reis.

    The transgender woman from Nottingham had her bank account frozen when using Santander's telephone banking service because she sounded like a man.

    "I myself am a transitioning transgender woman. I would be appalled, and embarrassed, if I'd have been treated this way by anybody, not just a bank.

    "In our times now, and moving forward, I wouldn't want a situation where a transgender person is inadvertently ridiculed and embarrassed, simply because they don't sound how societies ideals think they should sound, or look how they should look. It's simply unacceptable."

    Stephanie Dale

    Santander said it has a "duty to protect the security" of accounts but apologised for any offence caused.
