Don't let your preloved warm winter coats gather dust. Instead, donate them to WrapUp London and bring smiles to those in need. Whether it's children, women, men, babies, or even four-legged pals, there's someone who needs the extra warmth. ❄️🧥🤝 #WrapUpLondon #SpreadWarmth

The threat of a yellow card doesn’t stop players diving, fouling or abusing referees but it has stopped them showing solidarity with those who are threatened with death for being in love. What an absolute fucking farce.

Wheezing through two final days of recording with the #enbphilharmonic before maternity leave, which thanks to a legal loophole @ENBallet don’t have to and therefore won’t pay me for, despite me having been an employee for seven years.

I have shared my story with @APPGGapsSupport about my experience of this year. I'm calling on @RishiSunak to address this tomorrow with the #Budget2021 @WeAreTheMU @ExcludedUK @MartinSLewis @Mu_For_Mu @AndyBurnhamGM @thatginamiller @BestForBritain #ExcludedUK #investinmusicians
👀 WATCH: The Chancellor @RishiSunak is promising "openness, honesty and certainty" in tomorrow's #Budget2021. Will that extend to the 3million people excluded from Govt support for almost a year? 3million people like celebrated violinist @RoisinWalters. Here's her story 👇
