[Zack Polanski @ZackPolanski]

This man is a threat to our democracy. He backs violence and extremism.

Blaming a group of people for the awful actions of an individual leads us to a very dark place.

Musk, Lowe, Farage, Robinson - these men don't give a shit about this country, they want to rip us apart.

Okay?? I’m listening? 👂🏿

[Mayor of London, Sadiq Khan @MayorofLondon]

Complaining about nightlife when you *checks notes* choose to live in Soho is like living in South Kensington and complaining about the museums.

Or moving to Hackney and grumbling about creatives. Living in Richmond and hating green space. 

It's all getting a bit silly, isn't it?

[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.

A statement from the President, Arwa Elrayess:

[BK Baby🫧 @TitoisOutside]

@EmilyThornberry What is wrong with you?
What would you say that?
Labour wonder why young people and diverse communities are repulsed by them and then make themselves so miserable and condescending.

Could you imagine Zohran saying something this utterly tone deaf and outright rude?

🚨 UK bans Hasan Piker and Cenk Uygur

Prominent political streamer Hasan Piker and Young Turks founder Cenk Uygur have both been barred from the United Kingdom, where they were set to attend the South by Southwest festival in London from June 1-6.

Both said the bans are direct retaliation for their criticism of Israel.

“The UK has revoked my visa at the behest of Israel,” Piker wrote. “The west is betraying ‘liberal values’ for a genocidal fascist foreign government. Soon we will all become Israel,” he added on X.

Uygur, who was denied boarding for a flight to attend SXSW London and deliver a speech at Oxford University, wrote: “This is oppression of Western citizens by our own governments on behalf of a different country. Are we free anymore?”

Labour MP David Taylor pushed the Home Office to revoke Piker’s visa on the grounds his presence would not be “conducive to the public good” — the MP had previously labeled UN Special Rapporteur Francesca Albanese antisemitic for investigating Israeli war crimes in Gaza.

Uygur and his nephew, Piker, have been outspoken critics of Israel’s genocidal assault on Gaza and the systematic rape, torture, and abuse of Palestinian detainees in Israeli prisons.

[BK Baby🫧 @TitoisOutside]

Banning Hasan Piker from speaking at SXSW due to criticism of Israel’s ongoing war crimes is preposterous and a reminder of how free speech has faced a brutal death in Britain.
