Tommy Robinson has criticised newly elected Holborn and St Pancras MP Sagal Abdi-Wali, reigniting debate over representation, community identity and political priorities in modern Britain. Share Political activist Tommy Robinson has sparked controversy after criticising newly elected Holborn and St Pancras MP Sagal Abdi-Wali, the politician chosen by local voters to succeed Prime Minister Keir Starmer in the constituency. In a social media post, Robinson accused the new MP of placing greater emphasis on her Somali heritage and community connections than on representing Britain as a whole. Referring to a speech in which Abdi-Wali spoke about community unity, Robinson suggested her loyalties were focused on Somalia rather than the constituency she has been elected to serve.

The reggae world is shaken by the passing of Stephen “Cat” Coore, the legendary guitarist, cellist, and co‑founder of the iconic Third World band. His death marks the end of a monumental chapter in Caribbean music history. For over five decades, Cat shaped the global soundscape with his unmatched fusion of reggae, soul, funk, and classical influences. His artistry wasn’t just heard — it was felt, deeply, across generations and across borders.
Among the many places touched by his brilliance, Anguilla holds a special place. Cat visited the island multiple times, forging a meaningful musical bond with Omari Banks and his father, the legendary Bankie Banks.
Their collaborations were more than performances; they were cultural bridges, moments where Jamaican and Anguillian artistry intertwined. Those who witnessed Cat on Anguillian soil remember a man who embraced the island’s warmth, its people, and its creative spirit as if it were an extension of home.
Throughout his career, Cat Coore carved out milestones that few musicians ever reach. As a founding pillar of Third World, he helped create timeless classics and brought the cello into reggae — a bold, unforgettable signature that set him apart. His performances on global stages, his musical direction, and his fearless experimentation cemented him as one of the most innovative minds in Caribbean music. Every note he played carried intention, discipline, and a spiritual depth that made him truly singular.
Today, the world mourns, but Anguilla remembers. The island holds echoes of his laughter, his rehearsals, his jam sessions, and the quiet moments he shared with fellow musicians. Stephen “Cat” Coore leaves behind not only a towering musical legacy, but memories etched into the hearts of those who were blessed to share space with him.
