Music Release Announcement

We are pleased to inform you that Nigerian Afro-fusion artist N’naya will release his new album Jungle & Paradise on 23 September 2025.

The 17-track project presents a balance of themes reflecting both struggle and joy — the “jungle” of life’s hardships and the “paradise” of love, hope, and gratitude. With a sound that blends Afrobeats, Afro-fusion, and soulful storytelling, Jungle & Paradise offers listeners a wide emotional and musical range.

Highlights from the album include the socially conscious track Pressure Your Oppressor (PYO), the tropical celebration Aloha Mahalo, and the moving heartbreak anthem Angelina (Served Me Breakfast).

Jungle & Paradise will be available on all major streaming platforms from 23 September 2025.

Why are Britons calling for another general election five months after an election?

- 📜 Petition Calls for Election: Over 1.5 million signatures demand a new UK general election, alleging Labour broke pre-election promises.

- 🗳️ Labour's Landslide: Keir Starmer’s Labour won the July 2024 election with a 170-seat majority, leaving little chance of a confidence vote triggering another election.

- ❌ Government's Stance: Labour sources dismiss the petition, emphasizing their strong mandate to govern until 2029.

- 🌐 Social Media Buzz: "Call A General Election" trends on X, supported by figures like swimmer Sharron Davies.

- 🛑 Controversies: Labour faces backlash for cutting pensioner winter payments and unveiling donations to party leaders.

- 💼 Welfare Crackdown: Labour announces stricter welfare reforms, sparking criticism for perpetuating “benefit scrounger” narratives.

- 🩺 Support for Disabled: Disability groups urge focus on removing barriers, warning against sanctions worsening hardships.

- 🏛️ Parliament Debate: With over 100,000 signatures, the petition is set to be debated, though Starmer is unlikely to call an early election.
