Well that was a fun Friday…
We spoke to exhibition curator Dr Mykaell Riley on how the Black British presence extends far beyond Windrush, and to MOBO award winning jungle artist Nia Archives on why the Black British sound can never be emulated.

Labour of love putting this together finding out more about the Black British music that became part of the fabric of our nation

This might just be a defining moment

The conflict in neighbouring Congo is part of the long fallout from the 1994 genocide in Rwanda

So will people from DRC who try to claim asylum be sent to Rwanda?

There is currently no safe route

On now

We’re live from Gloucester for our local election special

Sad #horse update this morning that two of them are in critical condition after yesterdays events, they are still alive

Their names Vida and Quaker

Have to confess I’m the only one in London who didn’t see the horses!

But I did spend the entire day trying to track them down

The army says they are receiving vet care and I really do hope they are ok

Worried about the unexplained disappeared from LBC of Sangita Myska. She’s a brave, principled journalist and an excellent broadcaster. Listeners will be missing her. What’s the explanation?

Seems the Barbados PM was forced into a u-turn after backlash from Paul and Jonathan’s story that the government were going to pay Richard Drax MP £3 million for his former plantation to put housing

He now faces renewed calls to pay reparations

Yes, everyone I’ve spoken to in the last hour has asked me this question

Yes this is a #horse update

One eyewitness told me he saw 3 horses going along Lower Belgrave street

One of the horses crashed into a vehicle and cut themselves and was bleeding

2 went off in the Aldwych direction

Really important to remember the stories of those who may be affected by the Rwanda policy

The phrase “respectfully” has been used so many times over the last 10 mins I’ve lost count

The corporation also confirmed to us in a statement that a financial settlement was not made in this case

Ultimately it’s a very sad end to his BBC career

“I didn't come to the UK willingly, I had a happy life, but then the security services came for me”
