Heart warming to see enormous crowds of peaceful anti-racist demonstrators, from the North to the South, out in force across the country tonight. These people are showing what makes Britain great, standing together for the rule of law, mutual respect and tolerance of all faiths.

The #NHSheroes and carers have been real lights in these dark days. The nuns in #Sunderland came out to show their support for them. Here singing 🎤 ‘This little light of mine’. 🎶 💓🙏👏🇬🇧🏳️‍🌈✝️ 🌍 #NHS

According to the @thetimes today, the American investors close to taking control of #Sunderland , are thought to have recognised the potential of the club from the Netflix documentary by @Fulwell73 . IF it goes through, the fans sold #SAFC - with passion, pride and a love supreme!

#NigelFarage is part of the elite. A millionaire career politician, the peddler of #Brexit lies, the prince of wince, the spigot of bigot, the zen of phobia. I’m afraid he’s coming to #Sunderland . A proud, hardworking city that has gained so much from the EU membership #GoAway

A sad day indeed for everyone, but especially for those who loved walks out to Sycamore Gap. Someone has destroyed an important part of the North East by this grotesque act of vandalism! Good bye #SycamoreTree and thanks for the memories!
