A return to former Vaux haunt, The Bridge Hotel Vaults, 145 High Street, Sunderland. Now ran by Dan Shannon and Michael McKnight of Poprecs/Sonny's Cafe. Far superior range of beers and a fresher feel. #RealAle #BridgeHotelVaults #IndependentBrewers #Independentapubs

Jarell Quansah has his red card ban extended to two matches. FIFA will consider an appeal, if the England defender can prove he’s either American or Argentinian or a brown envelope stuffed with cash

When Jeff Bezos (who is 100 times richer than Taylor Swift) was married, he essentially took over the city of Venice, pushed locals aside, and provided nothing lasting in return. Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce personally donated over $26 million to charities to commemorate their wedding.

Hawaii just passed the first state law in the country banning corporations from making political donations in state elections. Now a Koch-backed legal group is suing to overturn it. Big Money won't get out of our politics without a fight — one that we the people must win. (via @levernews.com)

Reuters reports Trump liable to support Argentina over the Falkland Islands. Farage supports Trump and his intentions. Not the first time he has backed Trump against Britain. So Falklands Veterans, you still think Reform is for you? And what about the fallen? Were their lives given in vein?

Neptune House, the world's first three-phase power station. Built by the Walker and Wallsend Union Gas Company. Coal fired, the power station provided power via a network of sub stations in Newcastle from 1901 to 1915. #NeptuneHouse #PowerStation #Wallsend #ThreePhaseGeneration

The once mighty Neptune yard of Swans Hunter. Became Associated Shipbuilders and nationalised in the 1960s. Thatcher sold it in 1987, failure followed. Briefly owned by Kvaerner, success came with Jaap Krose who ran the yard until the end in 2007. #SwanHunter #Shipbuilding #NeptuneYard #RiverTyne

For British, boycotting American products is easy.. or is it? Produce is relatively easy, but you need to look at who owns who to be effective. Commodities ok, few. Social Media and Internet.. Massive problems. Irony is we talk about boycotts on US owned social media platforms.. #Boycotting
