Two years ago today. What a glorious day, one that will always be one of my most treasured memories. (And yes that’s the Millie Bright wig for those of you who’ve read The Homecoming)

I’m always incredibly moved by antique quilts. Women’s artistry, passion and voice shines out of them, at a time when they had few ways to express themselves

Tonight’s shameful scenes do not represent our culture, our history, or our people. Our great city is built on togetherness and acceptance, and Sunderland will forever be for all. We are stronger as one community. Now. Then. Always. ❤️🤍

THIS is Sunderland. Solidarity and respect to everyone there this morning. Racists won’t win in Sunderland or anywhere else

Today people turned out in Sunderland to literally sweep racism's effects off its streets. Those of us who couldn't be there can help too. Let's show the racist thugs they will never win by helping Sunderland Citizens' Advice to come back better than ever.

The real Sunderland. Locals have been out since the early hours of the morning, helping clean the streets and support the council teams in getting the city back to looking its absolute best.

A reminder that if you're angry about what has happened in Sunderland and other cities and want to do something, Sunderland's Citizen's Advice office was burnt out by the racists. Together we can help this vital service get back on its feet. gofundme.com/f/help-citizen…

Just another immigrant and a little leila. I wouldn’t be here without immigration. My dad absolutely loved Sunderland. This was his home. Think these pics are from the FA Cup final in ‘92. All this hate needs to stop. Racism & fascism aren’t welcome. Dark days indeed. #sunlun

Sense and Sensibility by OVO at The Roman Theatre was great and - brilliantly - #AccentNeutral. We had people from Scotland, Newcastle, south London and elsewhere playing nineteenth century gentry and speaking in the beautiful accents of those places.

In a few years, Football Twitter is going to look back and wonder how #SAFC pulled together a midfield three of Chris Rigg, Jobe Bellingham and Dan Neil *in the Championship* - three properly ridiculous talents.

Normally at this stage of the season I say it won’t last. But barring injuries and aggressive player sales, I’ve got a feeling it may last

Huge day tomorrow as the Grenfell Tower Inquiry publishes its final report at 11am. It’s a very necessary day, but a difficult one for many. May justice and right prevail, tomorrow and in the future 💚

Tonight’s the launch of #WomenOfUnion, dedicated to supporting women across the game of rugby union. What a venue! And friends old and new.
