It's time, dear readers, to do the Christmas Market debate again.
Do you love them? Do you wish they were even earlier in the year? Does the sight of not one, but two ferris wheels fill you with unbridled rage?
Let us know in today's weekly briefing..

“I heard a guy on the radio recently say Sheffield was never known for clashing,” says 58-year-old selector Prento, audibly irritated, during our chat in SADACCA, the Afro-Caribbean community centre on the Wicker. “I thought ‘you don’t know nothing!’

How did a campaign about the humble morning roll descend into ‘slander’, formal complaints and class war?

Fun fact: Manchester United’s famous nickname was borrowed from Salford RLFC.
Now the city’s amateur rugby league clubs are fighting to survive, and a rescued cup might help.

Have you seen this Pig Man? 🐖
The ghoulish tale of the Cannock Chase cryptid has been haunting locals (and our writers) for decades, with bizarre theories of his conception spanning from post-war experiments to the downright paranormal.

Stephen Bird died after four days at HMP Altcourse. An ombudsman report made no recommendations. Then an inquest uncovered serious failings.
We investigate his death — and the wider decline of a prison once considered among England's best.

Chancellor John Healey has called the project to reopen Doncaster Sheffield Airport “concrete proof of the benefits of shifting power out of Whitehall” - yet some are arguing the airport is a naked emperor that politicians are refusing to see.

A couple of weeks ago I took a weekly Mill Media full team call and thought to myself what an unbelievably talented team we have. (1/4)

Your Friday read from the archives is a snapshot of havoc, petty theft and the “beer people” versus the “Saturday crowd”. Welcome to the Bermondsey Beer Mile.

Still baffled by this case. Every time @PeterCarlyon4 thought he'd found who should fix it, they'd point the finger elsewhere.
"Oh, it's the council's responsibility" "it's the landowner's" "it's Network Rail's". Nobody would step up — so there's still sewage in the street.
For four years, raw sewage has been leaking into a street in Croydon. Children have fallen into the toxic liquid and local residents are furious that nothing has been done.
In today’s piece, we ask who’s responsible ⬇️

Should the West Midlands be independent? The Independent Mercia organisation certainly seem to think so, and their arguments are more relevant than the Anglo-Saxon name suggests.

For weeks, a strange and inept gang has smashed the windows of a clothes store near the British Museum... and stole nothing.
My @_TheLondoner story is a saga of Chinese mafia conspiracies, soot-covered robbers and late night visits from dodgy glaziers.

Could Birmingham be at risk of losing one of our cultural institutions? The Archers has been recorded here for the better part of a century, but the powers that be over at the Beeb are planning to make some "tough cuts".
