The people of Sunderland are warm, welcoming, hard working and proud.
Thugs and rioters will never win.
They’ll never be allowed to define Sunderland.
Love and pride will always shine through. That’s Sunderland.
Thank you to @northumbriapol for standing between communities and violence.
Thanks @SunderlandUK Council and communities for a HUGE clean up.
Thanks to the people of Sunderland for standing together against hate and division.

Our city is not represented by a tiny minority causing trouble.
@northumbriapol have my full support as they respond to criminal thuggery and work to protect all the communities of our city.
Tomorrow the people of Sunderland will come together and continue to build the bright future that we have - a future where every community of our city feels safe and prospers.
Today marks 50 years of the Health and Safety at Work Act.
We're proud of all those who step up to help others at their workplace.
What does a health and safety rep do?
