Dubbed the ‘Brit Awards of the North’, the Northern Music Awards (NMAs) were organised by the music therapy charity Nordoff & Robbins and held in Manchester’s Albert Hall. It’s intended to become an annual event and represents a concerted effort to direct interest away from the wealthier areas of the UK, where arts funding is in greater supply, and shine a light on northern talent, as well as fundraise for the charity’s music therapy initiatives. Nordoff & Robbins have also held the Silver Clef Award since 1976 in London, also as a fundraising initiative with grime artist Stormzy as the most r...

Almost two thirds of UK adults are unaware of the EU’s new Entry/Exit System (EES) which is scheduled to launch later this year. That staggering statistic comes from findings by Co-op Insurance. The research has also found that more than one in five UK adults admit they would be ‘put off’ travelling to Europe as a result of the new system. EES will require fingerprints and facial scans to be taken from UK travellers heading to EU countries.

Earlier this year, the Women And Equalities Committee (WEC) - a cross-party committee of MPs appointed to scrutinise the UK Government on equalities - held an inquiry into the music sector. The report looked at misogynistic attitudes in the industry and how these attitudes impact on the wider society. It found that women were underrepresented in key roles across the industry, that sexual harassment and abuse was common, and that many women did no...

Britain’s Home Secretary James Cleverly has said the government is doing all it can to stop dangerous small boat crossings, after news that five migrants had died in an attempt to cross the English Channel.

The recent increase in public spending has made Britain seem more like France than the United States, according to the World Bank's chief economist, Indermit Gill. The result is a slowdown in economic growth, Gill said in an interview with The Telegraph newspaper. "The country that used to be the most like the United States in all of Europe was the UK. And you guys decided to go and become a lot more like continental Europe," Gill pointed out. "Take a look at the share of government spending to GDP. You look like France, not like the US." France's GDP at 58% of public spending in 2022, is stil...
