@livinghealthy It's a work in progress with @livinghealthy. We are working on "ganzi" and "clarts" at the moment

So proud that I chose Newcastle as my home. My partner is a 'proper' Geordie from Wallsend & we use different words. He still calls me 'pet', says 'bait' instead of lunch, but he stands right beside me in standing up to racism. https://t.co/fUwX9XRVEW

Delighted to be engaging with @ChartwellsHE @NorthumbriaUni regarding the cost of living to support students & staff with menu offers. More to follow, but for now I’m delighted that from tomorrow, soup and a bread roll will be available at Coach Lane at the reduced price of £2.

@LidlGB not really the best for customer service when you're standing 10 deep in one of two queues in your Ashington store. Staff are bit even announcing for more cashiers

@centricaplc £900m profit in 6 months and millions of people in fuel poverty. Dont make the excuse about reinvesting in infrastructure. Do the moral and take correct action to end fuel poverty for ALL

@HeathrowAirport @britishairways sad to say that the service at LHR baggage reclaim isnt much better either. Waiting 30 minutes so far. Let's hope that Gatwick can do a bit better than @NTLairportCEO @HeathrowAirport

@British_Airways @NCLairport check-in at Newcastle is a complete shambles. Two staff at check-in for a full plane??

@NorthumbriaUni great to see Dan Robson on BBCs Dragon's Den tonight. A former enterprise graduate and top class Northumbria student and definitely someone who has done #takeontomorrow and won the interests and investment of one Dragon.

[Simon Smith @igivetoptips]

@GNairambulance Well done to everyone involved

[Professor Greta Defeyter @livinghealthy]

An excellent film that is free to use. Fantastic resource for health, social care and educational settings and more. @Feeding_Britain @IFAN_UK @DrMikeMckean @SAPHNAsharonOBE @Food_Foundation @SWECWNU @NorthumbriaUni @NIHR_ARC_NENC

Good to see @asda and @Morrisons supporting families over the summer but as it is a government backed scheme I find it difficult to understand why meals on low cost kids menus do not meet the government's own dietary guidelines.

[Professor Greta Defeyter @livinghealthy]

Let's work to ensure families have a) sufficient household income and b) effective support schemes. We need a co-designed out of school offer that meets the needs of children and families both before and after school during term time but also across the holidays @BBCr4today

[Professor Greta Defeyter @livinghealthy]

On Blue Monday there is, quite rightly, a lot of news coverage about supporting wellbeing by talking over a cup of tea. However we need to think about friends who can't eat or drink in a conventional way @igivetoptips @r2ph @SkyNews. Good, inclusive practice by @GNairambulance

I am thinking of adopting Alan from my nearest cat shelter. He has a skin condition, hence the santa outfit. Yes or no? Here is Alan👇
