First visit to @poprecs last night to see Redd Kross. What a fab venue & lovely folk, (even left my coat at the side & noone nicked it!) And the band were fantastic. Hoorah!

Good statement by Durham Miners Gala on Reform UK.
Reform capitalises on disillusionment with mainstream politics, but the only solutions they offer are worse cuts and cruelty in the service of the wealthy. And their outright denial of the climate crisis endangers all our futures.

DMA statement - Durham Miners Gala and Reform UK

Reform UK have chosen to criticise us publicly for not inviting them to the Gala. They obviously don’t understand how this works, so we will explain...

Alpacas enjoying the Tyne riviera.
Wonder what you call a group of alpacas - maybe a bevvy, a cloud, a carousel..

What a lovely day at the Miners Picnic at Woodhorn Museum - taking pics of folk for the mag.
Such a great atmosphere & the sun came out. So pleased we also got to see the fantastic Mik Critchlow exhibition - well worth seeing. #northern #workingclassheroes

The Spy in Black, the first Powell & Pressburger film (1939). Watched it @starandshadow.bsky.social last Sunday, (indie, volunteer run cinema). Great film, ahead of it's time. And lush frocks.
