My #ESC250 votes for the 2025 poll.
Pretty much my standard fare: female bops and ballads, some older tunes, ten different countries and four songs not in English.
Vive la diversité relative! 🙌🏻

Here's a new one... Which is the #AgathaChristie you've read the MOST? Not your favourite necessarily, but the one you reckon you've picked up the most times. Gray's, unsurprisingly, is a 60s one - #TheMirrorCrackdfromSidetoSide! What's yours?

The BBC are constantly fawning over Farage's every move despite Reform only having four MPs. Our national broadcaster should reflect the whole country, not just one man’s ego.
