My friends in the North

Back in London, after spending the weekend in Newcastle to speak at the Northern TUC Annual Conference. The 'proper' guest speakers included Mark Serwotka and Elias Santana, from FENACLE in Ecuador.

Some of this blogs many readers (ahem) may know that I was the TUC's regional secretary in the North East & Cumbria prior to doing this job, so I always enjoy going back to Newcastle; its a good chance to meet up with old friends and comrades. Only low point to the weekend was Everton dropping 2 points to Sunderland at home...

Sunderland needed them more than Everton. Don't begrudge them a little encouragement.

Another trip to Newcastle and no tea and bikkies.

But did they really - whats an extra couple of points if you're a cert to get relegated anyway?

Next time I'm up I'll give you a shout - going to call your bluff on that cuppa!
