Very much enjoying the Swindon Advertiser's live blog this evening, with its plucky, on-the-ground reports from the street where a local man has been charged with assisting Russian intelligence.

7:38 pm 09/09/26 What have his neighbours said? Our reporter is at the scene of one his addresses in Liden where residents have reacted with shock. One person told the Adver: "It's surprising." Another said: "Don't know nothing about that, dunno what to say really." A third added: "It's unexpected, usually you get police around here for drugs, which is why I keep myself to myself'8:16 pm 09/09/26 One neighbour, a couple doors down from where police were seen, slammed his front door in our reporter's face and repeatedly shouted through an open window to "go report something somewhere else"

I really enjoyed doing this. Please do listen in on Sunday (or listen back afterwards) to hear me discuss Leonard and Hungry Paul with James Naughtie and a roomful of readers with interesting questions.
