@TyneSnapper Do you know what the little shop was beside The Spread, Steve?

#NorthShields Spread Eagle Preston Village, old compared with new

Somehow, at some point in the last few years it has become acceptable to publicly mock trans people. This isn’t about vulnerable women’s spaces, or women’s sport, it’s about delighting in declaring your disgust for a tiny minority of other humans and it has to stop.

@TyneSnapper Would it be ok to post these then & now shots on North Shields People (FB & Insta) if I credit you?

#NorthShields On this day 16th August 2018, Tiger Stairs, North Shields, thought to have been named after The Tiger Inn.

@MattSingh_ @northumbriana @EustaceFolville I don’t know why I think you might be interested in this!

The strange shape of Liberal England, 2024 edition. Constituencies with more Lib Dem vs more Labour votes (ignoring other parties) are still largely divided by Watling Street (modern day A2/A5), a Roman road built almost 2000 years ago that divided Wessex and the Danelaw in 886AD

Please take a couple of seconds to vote for Nina Valkhoff’s North Shields mural, ‘The Chase’. Part of the North Shields Elevation Mural festival (I’m one of the trustees). streetartcities.com/awards/2025-07 Thanks x PS VOTING CLOSES ON SUNDAY!

Unexpected success!

An excellent turnout at today’s Trans Rights Rally in Newcastle #TransRightsAreHumanRights #TransRights

Many trans people are concerned and confused about what last week’s Supreme Court ruling. The UK Government must provide clear guidance to preserve the rights and dignity of all – including trans people.

@PrideInLabour I’m a 65-year old CIS woman. Supported Labour all my life. But if they hang trans people out to dry, as they appear to be doing, then I’m sorry but that’s my membership card in the bin. @alancampbellmp

Just a reminder that this was done in just over two days WITHOUT a billionaire bankrolling the movement. We did this through solidarity and community. Say what you want about LGBTQIA+ people, but we know how to organise.

1000s of people out in Parliament Square to protest the Supreme Courts Decision this week 🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈🚩 Contrast this to the 100 or so ‘Gender Criticals’ many, the same old faces outside SC. It really begs the question: what IS the mood in Britain? 🇬🇧🏳️‍⚧️ #TransRightsAreHumanRights

@MarinaPurkiss This person will now have to use female toilets.

@NlandPark There are a number of poetry / spoken word groups in the area. Next year it would be great if you could ask them to provide poems on a theme ie real people, not AI.

The Self-Led 'Poetry at the Park' Trail is ready for you to explore. Can you see a difference between poems written by people and those generated by AI? Let us know what you think - each poem is numbered to identify them. #WorldPoetryDay2025 #northshields #tynemouth #whitleybay

@Ryanair due to fly from Rome to Edinburgh tomorrow morning. Other airlines are cancelling all flights. When can I expect an update from Ryanair?
