So glad to sell out my third show at
@pizzajazzclub
- such a great night with
@betweenworldsuk
. Thank you to everyone that come through and showed love!!
I'm lowkey addicted to my wife's smile LOL. Luckily she's not on Twitter so she'll never see this but anytime she smiles when I do something for her I will do it 10x
Happy
#StGeorgesDay
to everyone celebrating in England and across the world.
We'll make today one of four new bank holidays for the whole of the UK. Workers deserve a break and a chance to celebrate our country’s traditions of fairness and social justice.
Tragic man. Misogyny kills. "Misandry" really doesn't and that's the difference. Same with racism, it kills Black people while it offends the sensibilities of white people - not the same.
Twin sisters reject a man, resulting in them being brutally stabbed and one of them dying. A misogynistic world
Women say that they're afraid of men, talk about the crimes they commit or at worst say that they hate men. A misandristic world
And then yall call it "gender wars"
You know, when I saw the tweets flying around about the Black therapist getting fired, I thought this was gonna be some really rude awful video. This is it?? 😂😂😂 I’m sorry but some of y’all are complete snowflakes loool this doesn’t come across mean spirited at all to me
Wow this tweet went far 😂😂😂
So my band
@betweenworldsuk
are doing Brick Lane Jazz Festival on the 28th April at 3:30pm! Come through ❤️ new music coming soon! Follow us on IG too

I think it’s tricky. Ultimately the goal is to win people to Christ, but the difficulty is that if we keep overlooking UK artists for US ones, we will never be able to build a legit gospel scene over here and allow artists to make enough money to support their evangelism in music
Not even gonna lie I couldn’t care less. Weddings are long, I could really use that day to sleep and relax. Let it be known - if y’all want to invite my wife and not me, I am fine with it 😂😂 I will even be grateful
and sorry, you Black guys SNITCHED on yourselves cause you KNOW she’s right 😂😂😂😂 bare crying when she didn’t mention a gender. Embarrassing. And to be honest, she kept it light. When she could have peppered. Anyway 🤷🏿♂️
The reason Black men are being @‘d is because men in the industry, some of them Black, would have seen and known this and did nothing … that’s really the convo. Tim is one guy but he couldn’t have continued alone. It was a bag of people that allowed it
#TrashyTimWestwood
If 100 women walk down the street naked, if I lusted over them, that would still be MY problem because of what Jesus said in Matthew 5. If we don't decouple lust and modesty we will never truly understand our personal accountability in this issue.
#SDALounge
The other day, i drove my wife home from her sound engineering gig after i had just finished a gig at Ronnie's and I was like - this. this is the life I wanted to live!
The problem with Twitter is that everyone is dying to out-rude everybody else. And people always take it too far 🤷🏿♂️
Can’t just disagree with someone’s point, have to insult their appearance too. It’s never gonna end well especially if you have privilege over that person
This is the same lopsided, lacefront lieutenant that platformed a sexual predator. But tarot and astrology is the problem?
Very on brand for Black Christians it’s the devil they pray to.
These pastors and leaders that are silent on sexual and spiritual abuse but find their tongue when a woman gets pregnant? God will judge you.
#SDALounge
Btw I’m never shocked when I hear of Christian men abusing their power, being predators, rapists etc. And tbh it feels disingenuous to keep being “shocked” - it literally happens ALL the time. When will it click?! Many “Christian men” suck.
@officialmuyiwa
The more we platform UK artists and spread the word about them, nominate them in these types of awards, the more likely people are to hear about them and be touched by a message in their music.
lol I can’t believe I was really thinking I was too old to try and make any sort of moves in the jazz world. Thank God I ignored my intrusive thoughts and did it anyway
I don’t think people deep how great
@PJMORTON
Gumbo Unplugged was. I think it’s one of the best albums of the 21st century. Maybe the best live RnB album of the last 20 years?
Seems strange to have majority Americans nominated in this category when there's a bunch of gospel acts right here in the UK. They could have nominated
@thespirituals_
for instance who have literally killed it over the last year. or
@GraceTena_
or
@AshaElia
or loads of people.
We just hit 2 million views on the YouTube channel 😭😭🙌🏿🙌🏿🙌🏿🙌🏿🙌🏿
Massive thank you to ALL of our supporters - those who like, share, subscribe, especially those who donate, and also to the amazing artists and volunteers who’ve given up their time to support.

2023 was a remarkable year for
@TheGreenParty
.
We have over quadrupled our number of councillors in the last 4 years - and this year's elections were extraordinary.
We've proven we can do it locally - 2024 is the year we elect more MPs. 🧵
Ephesians 5:21 - Submitting yourselves one to another in the fear of God. It is the duty of BOTH to submit to each other “in the fear of God”! If the other person doesn’t fear God, you can’t submit fully - your total submission has to be to Christ, not to a partner.
Your husband does not earn your submission in a Christian marriage. It’s your duty. So, it’s counterintuitive to insinuate that your husband has to qualify for your submission. If he’s your husband, you submit to him. It’s not your choice, it’s a COMMAND.
Every terminally online person that searches their favourite celebrity name and then argues with strangers about it, you all need to seek immediate help
The responses to this aren’t even shocking anymore. Black people in this country are suffering from a severe lack of community spirit and togetherness. When Liverpool wanted to x out The Sun, they did it. Why can’t we control and support our own things?
I hope everyone realises that the particulars of this situation in Peckham is not the overarching issue. Regardless of any outcomes or CCTV or whatever, the fact is we get disrespected at those shops as a whole so we should stop buying there. The end
My favourite sitcom characters of the last few years:
Raymond Holt (Brooklyn 99)
Phil Dunphy (Modern Family)
Dina Fox (Superstore)
Ava Coleman (Abbott Elementary)
Twitter is full of terribly unhinged people. I'm just here for the jokes man cause some of you lot are actually seriously tapped and should see someone. People complaining that she's gatekeeping cause she didn't post the restaurant details. Weirdos LOOOOOOOL
unfortunately I think the world is regressing...far right nationalism on the rise, Black countries in Africa persecuting LGBTQ+ people, less solidarity amongst Black folk, men actively hating women more. it's sad man
am i trippin or is the Black Diaspora as a whole regressing a little bit? like the xenophobic thinkpieces, skits and takes that literally just divide and conquer, borderline white supremacist overlaps. at first i thought it was solely online…but ppl genuinely believe this..😬
He called Black women ugly, stop chatting rubbish man. “That’s all he said”. Just because you didn’t bother to do adequate research into him, don’t cry when people who actually understood his ethos and clocked him were happy that he was no longer around to spread his bile
@RaifaRafiq
This could only happen on Twitter LOOOOL what the heck. They need to reboot Twitter and make people take a test to join cause how could anyone be mad at this LOL
That last sentence is so true. We need to bring back shame!! (although we also need to address that you shouldn’t even need shame to be a decent father and husband!!)
Men will shame women into getting married to them and having kids before you “expire” only to wake up one morning and just… leave. They’re simply not shamed enough for anything they do.
@RichieBrave
Got stopped and searched when I was 18 in a station in a predominantly white area - felt so embarrassed and angry. They put their hands round my boxers and everything lol. Asked me if my phone was PAYG or pay monthly. All types of crap
This is brilliant.
People often say what a difference it would make if the media gave
@TheGreenParty
more air time.
@natalieben
took callers questions for an hour and
@IainDale
read out peoples reactions:
I think as Christians we have to be wary of being over defensive…like if people are mad at the faith, many a time there’s a valid reason/hurt there. So we should lead with compassion and be an example instead of pointing fingers back at them
Alot of People who have left the faith or are just not into God like that anymore have become SO judgemental. They have turned into the Christian's they complain about. Always pointing fingers and criticising others for practicing their faith
A couple of things: Robert Glasper is a 4x Grammy winner. Chris Brown has won once.
Also, Robert Glasper posted the same image to his IG last week. Looks like CB actually went to his page, grabbed it, and reposted it after he already posted this:
Sold out Pizza Express show last night 😍😍one of my favourite moments of the night -

@OneSoundMusik
! We got some stuff in the pipeline...
Musician, arranger, and musical director Akil Henry pours his heart and soul into the platform he started 10 years ago,
@OneSoundMusik
, supporting and promoting gospel music to listeners across the UK and beyond. Read the exclusive Spectrum interview here:
Whether you like him or not, it’s not really debatable in terms of pop music in my opinion. Because he had multiple super duper smash worldwide hits on basically every record…I don’t think it could happen again but that’s more because of how we consume music now I think
