We are about to add more information to our map, showing the donations that MPs are receiving from people and companies linked to the private healthcare sector. And... we are going to make a lot of noise about what individual politicians are doing. Please could you share this, and follow us? πŸš¨πŸ’™

On numerous occasions SoundCloud and You Tube have taken down my classical music recordings claiming them to be famous performers on major labels. Although I am deeply flattered it seems absurd that they can not tell the difference! Usually after an argument they reinstate them.

The algorithm on YouTube for identifying classical music recordings is crap! Recently, it warned me that my 17 year old brother playing a Mozart sonata, recorded by me in 1966 on a Philips tape recorder was in fact an internationally famous concert pianist on a recording owned by Sony !
