TORY leader Kemi Badenoch says "we should all be concerned" by the now-abandoned ban introduced by Reform UK's Nottinghamshire County Council leadership against the Nottingham Post.

The month-long ban was lifted in full in early October after weeks of campaigning that saw the action condemned by figures ranging from the Prime Minister to a leading US congressman, alongside more than 40,000 people who signed a petition raising concerns about the precedent it set for press freedom.
