Robbie Gibb said if he doesn't get his way, he'll blow the BBC up. It's ridiculous that a man like that has a spot on the BBC's board. Our public broadcaster MUST be independent. Agree? Sign to get Gibb sacked: 38d.gs/stne

Probably my favourite Kate Bush song. The old band covered it in 2011, I love our version, video done by my friend Andy, who later made the Benefits video Warhorse.

A new law could give millions of us better rights at work, but corporate lobbyists & politicians are trying to gut it. Tell the Government: protect workers, not profits!

The Government is planning to roll out mandatory digital ID. It’s invasive and could mean millions of people unable to go about their daily lives. Right now it's just an idea - we need to stop it becoming a reality. Join me and sign the petition now! 38d.gs/cx2a

This is how it should work: Big gigs boost the economy, and that success is shared with the grassroots. Manchester City Council is setting aside almost £250,000 from this summer’s huge shows.

Big news.

The Royal Albert Hall has just become the first 5,000+ capacity arena to permanently adopt the £1 grassroots levy on all commercial rock and pop shows from October 2025 - a move that could raise £300,000 a year to support the foundations of the UK’s live music scene.

AI and bot farms are already having an impact on music streaming, and independent musicians are paying the price

AI, bot farms and innocent indie victims: how music streaming became a hotbed of fraud and fakery
