Yesterday I fulfilled a dream and saw Stevie Winder in concert and it was as thrilling and exciting as you might imagine. He did 2.5 hours and did 28 FULL songs, no medley shit.

I endured an English public school. But that’s not the only reason I’m unsurprised about the Farage allegations |
Let’s put aside the schooldays accusations and look, instead, at the Reform leader’s path since then. I think a pretty clear picture of the man emerges, says author and podcaster Musa Okwonga

I went to see ‘Wicked. For Good’ with my family this afternoon. I wasn’t a totally willing participant but what the heck. I enjoyed it. Cynthia Errivo is excellent, but Ariana Grande only convinced me when she sang. Not sure she had the acting chops for the bits in between. Still, enjoyed it.
