Tomorrow, Mon 30 July we host a new play about NE-born explorer and pioneer, Gertrude Bell. 'The Desert Queen' starts at 7.30pm, tickets £10/£9 - pay on the door. Fascinating story of an amazing woman, written by David Farn and directed by Neil Armstrong.

Voter ID is a disaster for democracy. There is one true purpose behind it: disenfranchise disadvantaged and underrepresented communities. – at Glasgow, Scotland

We know that Voter ID is more likely to exclude marginalised groups. And now charities and academics have written to Theresa May to say the same. So will she press on, or do the right thing?

Fantastic that plastic bag use in large supermarkets down 86% from 140 to 19 per person per year year since the 5p charge was introduced in 2015. A great example of a simple Conservative policy that has hugely helped the environment

This should be BREAKING news on the BBC. A cross party parliamentary select committee has concluded that Britain's biggest ever political donor could well have been funded by a foreign power. This is illegal. It's also treacherous. Silence in the face of this is complicity
