The #BBC has hired #SamSmith to headline the #Proms as "he will attract a younger audience". When I was a teenager (young) I loved classical music, jazz and big bands along with pop. This is just more patronising woke from a BBC elite who live and work in their London bubble

Blanket 20mph speed limits will be dropped in #Wales by September its Labour transport secretary says “We all agree 20mph works really well outside schools hospitals & heavily built-up areas. On certain routes it hasn’t been appropriate. We will move swiftly to correct that.”

Proms is all about making all different types of music accessible. Pulling in new audiences and opening them up to new music they may not have experienced before is a great idea.

@LizKershawDJ If it isn't broken...don't fix it. This will drive the core viewers away. Younger people consume content elsewhere rather than live TV.
My GP’s elevator for disabled people has been broken for over 6 months. Yet, they have found the time and money to plaster the entire surgery with posters about recognising non-binary identities. A depressing sign of the times.
Why would we want to ‘lead the world’ on climate change and make Brits poor, when we’re less than 1% of the world’s emissions?
Sadiq is taking world-leading action on climate change. Only a vote for Labour on 2 May ensures a greener London. #BBCLondon
@LizKershawDJ @TheTelegraph__ Law of unintended consequences. Irish government gave U.K. such a kicking over BREXIT. And now live with it.But the broader point is these people should not be in Europe.
@LizKershawDJ @TheTelegraph__ So after every pundit and opposition politician (and quite a few government ones as well) telling us that it’s not going to be a deterrent, people are already actively leaving.
