Bradford’s new bishop plans to carry on blogging to keep in touch with the community outside the church. The Rt Rev Nick Baines, 53, was enthroned as the 10th bishop of Bradford during a ceremony at the city’s cathedral. The bishop writes a regular online blog entitled “Musings of a restless bishop”.

A Bradford councillor has become Britain’s first female Muslim Mayor. Councillor Naveeda Ikram has made history after being officially installed in the role in a ceremony alongside husband Saqib Salam Shah, who is her Consort for the year.
