WATCH THIS!!!

Labour MP Dan Carden delivering raw truth on how this govt's corrupt & ideology driven addiction to outsourcing services, rather than fund the NHS & local councils to do the work, is destroying the NHS & the UK's ability to deal with coronavirus.

BRILLIANT 💞

Congratulations to @djangobates who has won The Ivors Jazz Award #TheIvors

[Django Bates @djangobates]

I'm very pleased to announce that I have just received The Ivors Jazz Award. I love being part of the huge British jazz vista which stretches from Acker Bilk to Dudu Pukwana’s Zila, via Bex Burch’s Vula Viel. This is a serious moment for me and I'm genuinely touched.
