Sunderland, do you know who you voted for?
Sunderland, congratulations, you went to the polling station in force, stood in the booth and voted for change, and change has arrived! Your saviours are here in the form of two Reform UK councillors, one of whom suggested Nigerians should be ‘melted down’ to fill potholes and another who left his girlfriend ‘black and blue’. So, which one is going to protect your woman and girls, and which one is going to get you your country back, one pothole at a time?
Edit: Glen Gibbons / Gibbins has been suspended.
Edit: there’s now conflicting claims between family members and Barker on whether he’s the man in the article. Both allegations of domestic and child abuse are still being strongly argued by ex co workers, friends and relatives.

Maximalism is sooooooo back 💋🐆🪩
“Have you ever felt that you’re simply...well...too much? Have you walked into a Sunderland pub, perhaps in your funkiest tights and a 60s mini, to feel all eyes on you for all the wrong reasons? Maybe you’ve entered a party expecting everyone to be full glam boots to the ceiling, only to open the doors to a sad sea of beige that can only be compared to PLT’S shite rebrand. If you have ever experienced this feeling, then boy, do I have some good news for you. Quiet luxury is dying, and maximalism is on the up (THANK GOD).”
Resident radgie Maia Olusanya delves deep into the world of maximalism, past and present and the politics behind it.
Here’s a few of our fave maximalist diva’s. From those who paved the way such as Leigh Bowery and Grace Jones to some of the current radgies reigniting our love for the bold and authentic.

Becoming Mr Blackpool: Harry Clayton-Wright on class, culture & smashing the class ceiling.
As smash hit theatre show Mr Blackpool heads back on the road for a second time, director Harry Clayton-Wright explains to RADGE why we must advocate for northern talent and why “regional” isn’t an insult!
Because hell hath no fury like a northern artist being told their work is too regional!
