Durham Pride's funding was cut by Reform UK. Then the community – and the miners – stepped in

“Pride: One. Reform: Nil.” said one attendee at Durham Pride. Subscribe ► https://www.youtube.com/user/theguardian?sub_confirmation=1 The Pride event that took place last weekend in the northern English city almost didn’t happen. When Reform UK won control of Durham county council last year, one of their first moves in power was to take down the rainbow flag that flew over its headquarters. Soon after, it announced the council would axe funding for the city’s Pride event. But in a testament to the enduring relationship forged during the miners’ strikes of the 1980s – immortalised in the 2014 film Pride – this year’s event was bigger and better than ever, thanks to funding from trade unions and the local community. “This year has really shown us that there’s so much support and love for LGBT+ people,” said Mel Metcalf, who founded Durham Pride in 2014. Watch to hear what participants had to say about this year’s parade and read more about the day from our North of England correspondent Hannah Al-Othman via the link in bio. #durhampride #pride #miners #uk #reformuk #politics
