Michelle Mone who got paid nearly triple the cost of her useless PPE, is still jetting and sailing around the world in her megayacht with her £232m. Crime pays when you are rich, because they never send you to jail.

Airlines cancel service to the USA and reroute tourism to other countries. www.travelandtourworld.com/news/article...

You can tell MAGA people don't travel because literally the nicest cities on earth have world-class public transportation and that public transportation is *the thing* that makes them nice, world-class cities

Cummings and Farage deserve each other. They’re both utterly ignorant, they’re both boring and predictable, and they both suffer the precise flaws of those they lambast inews.co.uk/opinion/cumm...

You can add your support to the thousands contesting the threat of compulsory redundancies at Newcastle University - www.change.org/p/end-unnece...

How many sign makers are obeying the 2016 TSRGD requirement to put a 'remove by' label on temporary signs to tackle needless street clutter? Is it 0? It's 0 isn't it.

It’s done, my grandson who was agnostic about #SAFC until Saturday wants me to buy him a Sunderland top. Considering he lives in Newcastle that shows courage and commitment

Not only did my 13 year old daughter, Isadora, shoot 6 out of 7 at the air rifle range whilst visiting our local village fete and win yet another cuddly toy, but now she is gently educating me on the difference between the words exaggeration and hyperbole. I do love her so very much. Ha!

“Without widespread theft, my industry can’t survive” is an argument against your industry surviving, and is not an argument for allowing widespread theft

SUNDERLAND AFC ARE PREMIER LEAGUE!!!! 😍😍😍

ELIEZER MAYENDAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!

Sky commentators choking on the words!

It’s enough to drive you to drink!!!

Might try to find another commentary for the second half. The bias of the Sky commentators is unbelievable!

Please sign and share this petition, calling on Newcastle University’s Executive Board to halt the threat of ill-considered and unnecessary redundances that are imperilling careers and the future of our institution. www.change.org/p/end-unnece...

This should be good ...

We are Sunderland.

Suddenly found myself listening to Deep Purple, quite like it. I’ve despised them for the last 45 years because of the cunts who liked it at school, the bullying tribalism of it all. Had this with AC/DC about 30 years ago, discovered I liked their song after all.

I won’t believe it until it suffers from depression and wonders why it got up in the morning.

150 Labour MPs set to rebel over cruel welfare cuts

Charity shops face rising costs: is another high street institution under threat? 'The proliferation of charity shops has been a feature of high streets across the country. Now, however, major charity retailers are set to shut dozens of stores because keeping them open has become too expensive'

‘Sure Start centres provided £2 of savings for every £1 in costs’…children showed improved health and educational outcomes. A reminder of Osborne’s calamitous austerity. www.theguardian.com/education/20...

If I think too much about Michael Gove, a politician who I actually despise going into the House of Lords today I might just burst a blood vessel. There is not a British politician who has done more damage to our nation than that dangerous, extreme, slimy piece of shit.
