When chasing a big interview, you need to be tenacious and persuasive.
And, when that fails miserably…

Tomorrow morning’s diary. At this rate I’ll have done 115 interviews by the end of next week.
I don’t ask for a payment, it’s not right to benefit. Instead ask for a donation to @samaritans who do brilliant work listening to people in distress. Suicide is still the biggest killer of men under 50 and women under 40 in the UK.

Teesside has long experience of being talked down. The place once stood for steel, iron, coal — industry. Over 40 years that status has disappeared with the industries themselves. Teesside instead saw itself as half-forgotten by government, then the butt of jokes and disparaging coverage. Recent events have only reinforced an impression of a beaten, wild area.
But as a name with national recognition, what has endured is Middlesbrough FC. There was a palpable sense on Saturday that, but for Boro’s late winner against Norwich, the mood across the region would have plummeted. It can sound overblown, but what you saw with Ashley Phillips’ 91st-minute winner was just how much Teesside hope, self-esteem and identity are invested in the football club.
There are no claims that football means more on Teesside, just that, as @mwalker2771 writes, at a time like this its presence is enhanced.

I, Kevin Rowland (the son of Irish immigrants) and the main songwriter of ‘Come On Eileen,’ am disgusted to learn that Nigel Farage has used our song to make his entrance for his party conference. Myself, and all of Dexys are passionately against Farage’s politics.

We are witnessing an assault here and the police must investigate.
The protester has a right to heckle, whether you or I agree or disagree with the views or approve or disapprove of the tactic.
But it is against the law to physically attack people.
Fascinating insight into The Little Fella’s move to Boro

I’ve covered this patch for over 30 years and every day I see, hear, witness great things… they never get mentioned or pointed to… only the horrific and sad gets the gravy. The last week had bottomed me but I won’t be told Teesside is shit

Matchday timings for tomorrow 📋
Immediately before kick-off, we’re asking supporters to join us in paying respects to PC Matthew Blades and PC Tom Clough, who tragically lost their lives in the line of duty.
We will show our appreciation for the dedication and hard work of both men and Cleveland Police Force in protecting and supporting our local community.
