An interesting read from #AndrewTaylorDawson on 'The 10 greatest jazz albums of all time.' 🙏 shortlist.com/lists/best-jaz… #Jazz #Shortlist

Nubya Garcia's hometown show at Koko on Thursday was incredible. Her playing was next level and her band were superb. Having a string quartet from Chineke! With her only made it more special. My review for Jazzwise. jazzwise.com/review/article…

Absolutely horrific loss of life in Gaza today. Hundreds of civilians murdered. At the same time, Israel is starving out the population. Inexcusable defiance of international law and basic humanity theguardian.com/world/live/202…

Around a million people will lose maybe £5,000 a year from these 'reforms'. The gainers will receive a pittance. This was not in Labour's manifesto. It is not the change people voted for. It is immoral.

Sanctions on Israel now! Stop the trade talks Ban settlement goods Suspend the association agreement Sanction complicit companies #FreePalestine

Difficult choices for who? The Prime Minister couldn't answer my question when I asked why he's choosing to make life harder for older people, children and disabled people instead of making the super-rich pay their fair share.

I loved writing this feature on Marionette Records for HHV Mag. hhv-mag.com/feature/label-…

Torsten Bell's responses in this interview were absolutely nauseating. This is a Labour Government punishing the most vulnerable people in our society to avoid taxing the rich a little more. Reprehensible.

I recently had the pleasure of interviewing Julian Lage for Everything Jazz. Check out the article here: everythingjazz.com/story/julian-l…

Absolutely.

Billions of pounds of our taxes being thrown into weapons of mass destruction which we can never use. A massive win for the worst corporations in the world while the planet burns and our country falls apart. History will not be kind to Keir Starmer. theguardian.com/politics/2025/…

I had fun writing this for ShortList.

My review of 'All The Quiet (Part II) by Joe Armon-Jones. It's fantastic compliment to Part I and together they form the boldest statement in his solo career to date. Highly recommended. ukjazznews.com/joe-armon-jone…

No, no, no. You have, disgracefully, been complicit in Israel’s genocide for 20 months. You will not now draw this country into Israel’s illegal war to turn Iran into a sectarian battleground. We will stop you. Hands off Iran. Not in my name. stoptrump.org.uk/petition-trump…

It seems with the collapse of any meaningful commitment to a rules-based international order - replaced instead by a raw-power dialogue shaped by might over right - every country in the global South watching Gaza burn and witnessing strikes on Iran is asking the same question:

Our statement on Iran 👇 Yet again the US is backing acts of terrorism by Israel which threaten to engulf the region in war. Yet again Britain is trying to excuse the inexcusable. Raise your voice now. Hands off Iran globaljustice.org.uk/news/hands-off…

Sanctions on Israel would be effective. They would have the support of a large majority in the UK. And the government is legally obliged to use all measures at its disposal to end Israel’s heinous crimes. My colleague Tim Bierley in Red Pepper redpepper.org.uk/global-politic…

Personally, I find genocide way more offensive than how an artist chooses to express their anger, over said genocide.
