All calm in Ancoats. Lot of misinformation spread today, and the businesses have been hurt because of it! If you cancelled your plans tonight, why not come on down + support local business- they could do with the trade! 🍺

Thursday’s New Music @rncmlive will be great. @RiotEns workshopped six super new pieces last week and, as @larrygoves will testify, it was hard to pick two for the concert. With New Emsemble and @markconductor in the first half, it’s a terrific programme! rncm.ac.uk/performance/riot-…

So, despite years of tireless campaigning - it seems the only way the Met Police will investigate systemic crime is if there’s a hit ITV drama about it. So, what should there be a hit ITV drama about next?
