"I don't know what will happen to UK culture if we close the doors on making it accessible." I couldn't agree more. Kate Nash talking total sense when responding to my question on class & its relevance in the music industry, specifically touring in the EU as a British artist.

At our Culture, Media & Sport Select Committee session yesterday I asked Minister Stephanie Peacock whether her department takes working-class people’s views into account when planning major events. Pleased to hear it’s something she takes seriously - hope to see this reflected in future events.

Popped into Deptford Literature Festival last Saturday. Loved the Navigating Culture: Black Male Writers on Britain Today panel discussion and the poetry readings by local poets from Poetry Lab. Huge thanks to London Writers Centre - Deptford's creativity never disappoints.
Loved chatting to year 6s from Kender Primary school for #Children'sMentalHealthWeek about wellbeing and Place2Be's theme, ‘This is My Place’. Labour is providing more mental health support in schools to make sure the next generation grows up happier and more resilient.
Had fun going up against my friend Bambos Charalambous MP for Constituency Knockout on Ed Vaizey’s Times Radio show. It was a good fight but I’m pleased to say Lewisham North came out on top! You can hear the whole thing here (about 35 mins in) www.thetimes.com/radio/show/2...

“Conscientização não é aparecer depois da tragédia para surfar a primeira narrativa que aparece; é tentar evitar que a tragédia aconteça e ter paciência para esperar a verdade quando ela chega.” Rodrigo Goes foi perfeito nessa frase, e isso não vale só para a morte do Ganley, mas sim para tudo.
