But, no, I do not want to appear on your show to defend the idea that I am English, after 50 years of living and working here, because the increasingly feral right want to turn this into a "debate" and you cannot see how you're being played 11050371118

We. Will. Be. A. City. Of. Sanctuary’ We are a city of safety, opportunity & a place where everybody, no matter what your background, ethnicity, faith or difference belong 1103

Out today on polling day in Throckley and I’ve already reported two loads of fly tipping. This is the difference between the Lib Dem’s and Reform. We don’t do things just for likes and social media presence. 1113

Reposted by @cpferguson87.bsky.socialCllr Owen Burbidge 🔶 @oburbidge.bsky.social · 09/08/2026We seem to have ruffled a few feathers with our Reform UK opposition by introducing red routes across Newcastle. Reform UK Opposition Leader Cllr Rutherford is seemingly furious about Newcastle's new red routes. But there's an interesting contradiction in his comments. 3287

Whilst this sounds good I don’t believe it will solve what he claims to solve. What is needed though is actual coherent place based regeneration. www.theguardian.com/society/2026...theguardian.comBurnham to give councils more powers to block vape and betting shopsVape shops in England and Wales to need planning permission while betting shop law change will also apply in Scotland 161
