I’ve been quietly quitting this platform over the last few months. Like others before me, I’m now waving goodbye to X. Not headed to that other platform either but rather reclaiming my time from social media. Thanks for the likes, follows and chat. It was canny back in the day!

The vitriolic abuse directed at @jessphillips over the past few days is unwarranted and unacceptable.

It is an example of the culture of abuse and intimidation that has become commonplace in our political discourse, disproportionately impacting women and people of colour.

Since 1997 the @StadiumOfLight has evolved slowly, until recently.

So it begs the question, from cutting edge tech to green energy, what could be next for the iconic ground?

As @SunderlandAFC continue to sit on top of #EFLChampionship injuries and suspensions are now inevitably starting to bite…

We ask, can Le Bris’ squad depth hold up for a genuine promotion push? 👇

He wasn’t in office when charged or when prosecution began, so IMHO usual precedent of *sitting presidents* being protected from prosecution is N/A. It applies to behaviours in office as I understand, not to behaviours when out of office. US constitutional expert views welcome!

We’re trying to get as many followers as Nigel Farage so we can show those who want to privatise the NHS just how many people are prepared to fight against it.

Please take a few seconds to help by following us and reposting this.

The continuing emergence of top talent coming up through @SunderlandAFC’s ranks got a well-deserved shoutout within @LewisAtkinson’s maiden speech in Parliament. This city really is a talent factory for producing world class footballers and should be celebrated more.👏

Thank goodness for the NHS.
