Why is @pritipatel anti music and musicians ? British musicians have have raised billions of pounds in overseas income for the exchequer every year since the 60s. Failing to negotiate 'visa free' movement for musicians coming and going to the EU when it was offered is scandalous.

@Lord_Sugar @GMB He's a genuinely important figure in today's society and works brilliantly for the people...not the few. His salary is on public record. Tell us Lord Sugar...how much value do we get from you and your overpaid cronies in The House of Lords ?

Oh dear Richard Madeley and Susanna Reid, totally out of their depth, floundering in their own pool of fabrication and loaded questions, are absolutely humiliated by, articulate no nonsense... @georgegalloway Who knew? #ignorantmedia @GMB

Legacy media shows its true colors again. Susanna Reid and Richard Madeley with an agenda before the interview starts. Susanna is condescending and thoughtless in her questioning. George Galloway handles himself perfectly through the whole video.

What a traumatic week this has been. Old friends of my generation passing away makes the sadness of their deaths very personal and heartbreaking. Family and friends are so precious, especially at these times. Keep them close... ❤️

Just heard #Meatloaf has died. So sad he was a great supporter of the anti apartheid movement and we spent some time with him backstage at the Nelson Mandela tribute concert at Wembley in 1988. He was great company...passionate and witty..and caring #RIPMeatLoaf

Very sad indeed to hear of the sudden death of #TedMcKenna . Apart from being an amazing and influential drummer Ted was a really lovely guy. My thoughts are with his family and close friends at this time. RIP Ted #SAHB
