If you receive legal threats from Nigel Farage for your reporting of Reform, please get in touch.

We have employed a defamation lawyer specifically for this purpose and would love to help (and we do so on non-commercial terms). www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

The evidence in favour of 20 mph speed limits is overwhelming, cheaper insurance, less emissions, less car crashes, it saves the NHS, Police and councils money. But Gary from Port Talbot's commute now takes 42 minutes instead of 40 so it simply must go.

Twitter accounts are based in Russia. BlueSky accounts are based in homes with, frankly, too many books, plants, obsolete cables, and pieces of rustic pottery, that could do with a bit of a tidying up, to be honest.

This statue of escaped slave, Mary Ann Macham, who settled in North Shields and lived here through the 1800s is being unveiled today.

Facebook posts are full of people whingeing she did nothing for North Shields and is not an important part of the town’s history.

🇩🇪⚫️⚪️ Newcastle need goals. Badly. But since Nick Woltemade has never been prolific, is he really the man to replace Isak?

In a word, yes. He's technically excellent, creative, and a magnet for defenders. There's a reason the German's call him Wolte-Messi.

Reform are on 5%. So much for young people's turn to the right!
