Published on 31May your (pinned) tweet: see council tax mentioned in headline

On 26 May Northern Echo published an MP reaction piece with no mention of either planning nor council tax

@RespectIsVital updates piece on 2 June that the council is investigating following complaints for planning permission

This is also published by Northern Echo credit @GavinHaveryEcho & also on BBC online who credit Northern Echo

On 3 June @jimscottjourno published locals opinion piece regarding Planning Permission for cottage
There are a few supplimentary mentions of CT but none concerning nor questioning CT & Dominic Cummings https://www.thenorthernecho.co.uk/news/18493601.echo-readers-said-council-investigating-dominic-cummings-lockdown-cottage/">https://www.thenorthernecho.co.uk/news/1849...

What Echo readers said about the council investigating Dominic Cummings' lockdown 'cottage'

READERS were left divided after it emerged a council was investigating claims the property where Dominic Cummings stayed during lockdown…

The first mention the Northern Echo makes SPECIFICALLY to Council Tax Liability & the Cottage seems to be 4 July when @GavinHaveryEcho reports an exclusive about planning investigation (link & highlight)
https://www.thenorthernecho.co.uk/news/18560751.planning-report-breaches-dominic-cummings-cottage/">https://www.thenorthernecho.co.uk/news/1856...

Then the & #39;Big story& #39; on 13 Oct in which @GavinHaveryEcho claims exclusively that the CT bill has been written off & how the Echo was the hero who had uncovered the story of CT & Planning bc they & #39;saw& #39; evidence (your tw) & & #39;investigations exclusively reported by NE& #39; (your tw)

& #39;In June, The Northern Echo was made aware* that council planners at Durham County Council were looking into allegations that the property where Mr Cummings stayed during his lockdown trip did not have the correct planning permission& #39;
*"made aware" means your published 31 May*

So you published three days before they did AND investigated C/T AND Planning 31 May

They published CT Months later & Planning three days later than you

Hope this helps Alex, I hope I haven& #39;t missed any articles xx
