Just a middle aged bloke from North East England who likes Sunderland, The Chicago Bears and sometimes knocks a golf ball about.

It is 90 years since George Orwell travelled to the north of England to learn about the living conditions of the northern working-class, during the long Depression of the 1930s.
Today’s figures show not much has changed.

The North-South divide is as wide as ever
Ninety years after Orwell exposed northern hardship, new data shows deprivation remains stark across England’s North

There is a direct line between Donald Trump trying to destroy the BBC and him excusing the brutal murder of journalist Jamal Khashoggi.
Trump hates the independent free press – whether in the US, Saudi Arabia or the UK. We will always defend it.

Trump suggests Khashoggi had it coming: "You're mentioning someone that was extremely controversial. A lot of people didn't like that gentleman that you're talking about. Whether you like him or didn't like him, things happen. But he knew nothing about it. You don't have to embarrass our guest."

The UK isn’t a “soft touch” on asylum.
UK asylum seeker benefits are similar to European neighbours
No right to work before 12 months (it’s 6 months in France, Spain, Belgium, Netherlands)
UK settlement after 5 years (it’s 3 or 4 in Germany)
Let’s cut out the alarmist rhetoric.
