Meet the people cleaning up #Sunderland:
Irene Tomkinson, 75, Southwick, said: “I feel incredibly emotional this morning to be here and show we’re grafters and we’ve put two fingers up at the rioters.”
Mavis Stamp, 64, Pennywell, said: “This is our city and they won’t win.”

BREAKING
After just 24 hours, the government has dropped its commitment to reopen the Leamside Line. It was included yesterday in the initial Network North announcements, now it’s gone.
Roads minister Richard Holden tells me Govt is now just ‘committed to looking into it’.

Hard to recall a story that has created such a reaction. I know it's only a tree, and there are lots of things to be appalled about in this world, but people in the North East love this region and are genuinely devastated at what has happened chroniclelive.co.uk/news/nor…

Everybody knows what Match of the Day means to me, but I’ve told the BBC I won’t be doing it tomorrow. Solidarity.

The last 60-year-old ex-miner I met was a Corbynite who cycled round his ex-colliery town because he was passionate about climate change. Working class northerners are not the bigoted people you're looking for

Fully cried listening to this bit - great hour of radio
You might remember Sue Whyatt, who campaigned for the first @England Women's team to get recognised with caps for their win over Scotland in 1972.
She joins @jesscreighton1 and @leahcwilliamson to discuss the long history of the women’s game. Listen here ⬇️

Female footballing idols - the idea of that when I was a kid was mind-blowing. Men owned the sport. Boys decided if you were allowed to play.
But girls can play. And this game is only getting better. Get on board now because it isn't waiting for you. 🤘
This is the best. ♥️
Interesting deep dive
