☀️ A bright and sunny start to the working year for most of the country. How’s this for a blue sky moment? The sculptural sea horses (by J R Murray) of Newcastle’s coat of arms atop the carillon tower of the majestic Grade II* listed Civic Centre (1956-67)

Here's how the real two-tier Britain works:
1. Whatever Nigel Farage says, however stupid, is looped and discussed by the media, while left-wing voices are treated as noises off.
2. Tiny far-right protests get massive airtime, while 10s of 000s gathering for Palestine or green causes are ignored.🧵
