Maria should have been given a WC not Dart. The WC system in British tennis events is often a huge joke.

@DrSdeG NHS IT is needlessly complicated. Complex neurosurgery far easier.

I’m so excited for the footy tonight, not only just for the football but for the fact I might actually get to see something different on my timeline 🕺🏼

This is dreadfully sad. RIP to a bone fide legend in UK music 💔💔💔

[MOBO Awards @MOBOAwards]

It is with immeasurable sorrow that the MOBO Organisation announces the passing of its Founder and CEO, Kanya King CBE.

Kanya passed away peacefully on 3 June 2026 after a courageous and characteristically determined battle with colon cancer. She was surrounded by her family, close friends and love.

Thirty years ago, Kanya King remortgaged her home, alone, without institutional backing or industry support, to build a stage that would transform British music forever.

She was a single mother from a Kilburn council estate who was told that Black music was too niche, that there was no market and that the industry was not interested. Instead of arguing, she built. Six weeks later, the first MOBO Awards was broadcast to the nation, and nothing was ever the same again.

What Kanya created was never simply an awards ceremony. It was an act of cultural justice. MOBO did not just celebrate Black music; it legitimised it, amplified it and transformed the cultural landscape of the UK.

From Stormzy, Little Simz and RAYE to Craig David, Ms. Dynamite, Amy Winehouse, Central Cee and countless others, generations of artists have benefited from Kanya King's vision.

She built a platform that reached hundreds of millions of people around the world. She was awarded a CBE and received an Ivors Academy Honour in 2025. She never stopped. She never asked for permission. She never accepted that the word “no” was final.

When she stood on the MOBO stage in Newcastle in February 2025, just months after her diagnosis, she told the audience: “I never allowed someone to define my limits. Not in life. Not in business. And I’m certainly not going to have that happen now.”

That was Kanya King. Right to the very end.

The 2026 MOBO Awards, held during the Organisation’s landmark 30th anniversary year, will be dedicated entirely to her memory.

The world was a profoundly better place with Kanya King in it. The MOBO family is heartbroken, but endlessly grateful, proud and inspired by everything she gave to music, culture and future generations.

Rest in power, Kanya.

You built this.

All of it.

For the first time since starting my medical transition, a hospital has run bloods for something and used the cis woman/female range and not the cis man/male and this has given me the nicest gender euphoria boost.

6 music is absolutely stunning today. Nights over Egypt requires getting off your arse and having a wee boogie.

@Lostock_Henge @DrSdeG Best eliminating asparagus from the diet

The mid 2000’s London electro scene was awash with ket. The vibes in the clubs were not good. Pure MDMA much better. Or shrooms/acid. Have yourself a happy time and a happy bladder.

If you have to do an illegal drug, please god choose one that isn’t ketamine.

@DrSdeG @LucyGoBag I think it’s bc I associate them with unhappy hens like a lot of white US eggs come from but a brown is more in line of a free range I guess

[robin @MsRobinHosking]

Going to The Music Is Black exhibition at V&A East this Monday and I’m very excited about it indeed.

@DrSdeG One usually affects the other. Something you grow to appreciate when you’re middle age 😂

@DrSdeG @LucyGoBag My local large Sainsbury’s went through a white egg phase but now back to brown. For some reason I thought I was getting a lesser egg when it was white.

@FionaQuigs An interesting added layer to this is our very visible lgbtq+ community i think and “othered” people many of whom are on the pitch
