Ben Houchen is "launching PPL Momentum Accelerator" to support emerging music artists. This must be huge news to PRS for Music who actually run the scheme and have done so since 2013.

Trump has pulled the security of former government officials we know are under threat simply because he doesn't like them. And he's done it at the same time as released a load of very angry, very violent, likely highly armed individuals who are loyal to him. It is dark stuff.
