I’m quoted in today’s @guardian on representation within UK music- a subject that needs directness, not diplomacy.
The data's clear: Black musics been a dominant force behind the industry’s success but leadership structures haven't evolved at the same pace https://t.co/C1D604B0We

@LukePillay8 @iamreneelamb Thanks for coming to the show. Glad you enjoyed the ride 🎢 !!

The @UKLabour treatment of @HackneyAbbott and @faizashaheen has convinced me that I should no longer vote Labour in the election. I am confident that my MP and the Labour party will enjoy a great victory without my vote.

[Faiza Shaheen @faizashaheen]

I’m in such shock, but I’m a fighter. Sign up to my mailing list below. I’ll put out more later today.
It’s hard for me to put me into words how much your support means to me, from my heart, thank you

MP Diane Abbott is ‘angry, depressed & worn out’ after the investigation into her concluded 5 months ago. She was given a formal warning & did antisemitism training but still hasn’t been reinstated by Labour 👇🏾

“Passing Strange” at the Young Vic.
I went to the first preview and it was exhilarating, unexpected and sensational. Like nothing I've ever seen.
“Passing Strange” stars Giles Terera. David Albury and others play multiple roles.

[Jasmine Dotiwala OBE @jasminedotiwala]

True.
It's the same rose tinted,old skoolers who yearn for us to revert to being in an episode of The Crown...when THEY were never in that circle.

Why are some critics vexed by Top Boy’s Baftas? Because it’s the Britain they don’t want to talk about. https://t.co/iBVBGxsChy

[Simon Albury @simonbg12]

So unexpected, powerful and complete at the first preview. It takes off like a rocket and flies at so many levels. The new guard shows what it can do. Wow! Now!

A depressing interview by @Joanna_Abeyie, the ex-Head of Creative Diversity at the BBC.
The senior exec describes feeling psychologically unsafe, powerless,& her role being performative.
An interesting read & perspective.

#Diversity - Yesterday amendments to the Media Bill to strengthen broadcasting diversity requirements and reporting were tabled by
Lib Dems @jbonham_carter with support from @FloellaBenjamin + @edvaizey. Despite persuasive speeches the Government rejected them and they fell.

[I Am i-D @dkbalbury]

@jasminedotiwala @simonbg12 Thanks Jasmine 👏🏽
