It's absurd that the 136,000 young people who are homeless can't sign our petition to end youth homelessness. With 120 other orgs we call @GOVUK to create a #PlanForThe136k. Sign our petition today to solve the crisis for good: buff.ly/4aWX1kv #SignForThe136k
The 136,000 young people who were homeless last year can't sign our petition to end youth homelessness. They need an address to do that. Will you sign it because they can't! #PlanForThe136k Image of girl trying to sign her name on an ipad but frowning because she isn't able to. She is wearing a pink fleece and pink scrunchies. Top left a black star with writing: sign for the 136k

Book of the day is a modern classic from our big music section upstairs. @willashon is the best - his latest Passengers release was one of our books of the year. This is a genius piece of writing on one of the greatest debut records ever released, Enter The Wu-Tang (36 Chambers).

I *DID NOT* A&R this record. I was at the time the GM of MetalFace and the business manager of DOOM aka King Geedorah. I worked with the lovely & incredible exec @willashon there at Big Dada/ninjatune on a few specifics, meetings, etc. and DOOM did the overall deal. I did provide TRUNKS tho. ;)

Today marks 6 years since the Grenfell Tower fire. Justice for the 72 people who lost their lives in this preventable tragedy. Victims of corporate greed and institutional neglect. Let us honour their memory by redoubling our commitment to seeking justice. 💚 #Justice4Grenfell
