Incredible show of solidarity and unity yesterday, and a truly diverse response, in Newcastle. Vastly outnumbering the far right, and showing Advance UK and UKIP what the North East is really about. A city of sanctuary in name and action.

Liberty Steel's collapse is devastating.
It's another tragedy for UK steel - and South Yorkshire - brought on through chronic mismanagement by owners.
But it's an opportunity for Government to take decisive action, as it did with British steel, to protect this vital industry.

Today represents a huge win for mining communities in South Yorkshire, and across the country.
After decades of campaigning, miners and their families deserve answers about the 18th of June 1984.

Management must wake up to the demands of their staff. Extending the school day, and increasing workload will drive the recruitment and retention crisis, and damage education.
