This is Sunderland. Thank you to everyone who has volunteered to help clean up our beautiful city today. The mindless thugs will not win.

This is #Sunderland. The community comes together to clean up the mess caused by thugs and bigots who have no respect for real British values.

Our teams have been working through the night to clear up the city following the appalling scenes last night. Thank you for their hard work & for everyone who has come together this morning. This is the real Sunderland #SunderlandStandsTogether #ThisIsSunderland #Sunderland

Keel Square immaculate again Love our City. #Sunderland #SunderlandProtest #HopeNotHate #SAFC

This is Zaf Iqbal. Zaf is a dedicated leader in the Sunderland interfaith forum and a loved community figure who works as a taxi driver. He was interviewed by the BBC this afternoon. Holding back his tears, he told the interviewer that he is a Mackem, he is English and he

I’m lucky enough to call Zaf a friend. I couldn’t think of anyone more honourable, or indeed more Mack’em than him.

In the face of adversity, Sunderland will come back stronger, better and closer together. The city continues to recover from Friday night’s events. A few scenes from our city centre yesterday #SunderlandStandsTogether #ThisIsSunderland #Sunderland

Peace and love will win #Sunderland

Republican Mayor of Mesa, Arizona: I am a lifelong Republican. I do not recognize my own party. The Republican Party has been taken over by extremists. I have something to say to those of us who are in the middle. You don’t owe a damn thing to that party. You don’t owe anything

Local shopping streets like Pallion’s are crucial to the life and economy of our neighbourhoods. Good to visit local businesses and chat to owners and residents about how we can support them.

Tonight we held an extraordinary meeting of Full Council in the wake of the violent scenes we witnessed in Sunderland at the start of August. We will not let these violent thugs win. They do not speak for Sunderland. We will build back better.

Hey ya know what... This nails where Sunderland is at right now. Thanks Phil! (get in touch if you're reading this, let's have a brew) youtu.be/CMHnmRCJisk?si…

When Sunderland AFC called us out of the blue it was such a lovely surprise as getting our beer into the SoL is something we’ve wanted since we brought the Vaux brand back to life in 2019. 🧵

So good to see you back at the Stadium of Light, Tony! ❤️

If you never liked Oasis, or more daringly, thought they were boring, it is VITALLY important that you tell everyone. This is something that people NEED to know. Crush their joy. Everything must always and forever be about you.

Didn’t manage to get Oasis tickets yesterday but I hope that 17 years old lass off tick-tock everyone is banging on about has a blast and the Gallaghers can inspire her generation half as much as they did mine. #oasis2025 #OasisComeback

Never was there a more perfect pop song. And that’s a hill I’m willing to die on.
