Watch: Grammy-winning musician’s free speech question catches White House press secretary off guard | World News

Published by Parlour News

In an unexpected twist at a routine White House press briefing, Grammy-winning musician Winston Marshall stunned reporters — and visibly caught press secretary Karoline Leavitt off guard — by suggesting that a future Trump administration consider granting asylum to UK citizens allegedly facing jail time for exercising free speech. Marshall, once the banjoist for British folk-rock band Mumford & Sons, directly addressed Leavitt during the Monday briefing, claiming that citizens in the United Kingdom were being subjected to “extensive prison sentences for tweets, social media posts and general free speech issues.” He pressed further: “Would the Trump administration consider asylum for British citizens in such a situation?” Now a political commentator and host of ‘The Winston Marshall Show’, the musician-turned-podcaster appeared to be referencing rising concerns among UK conservatives and free-speech advocates about growing censorship and what they see as the criminalisation of online expression. Story continues below this ad The moment left Leavitt momentarily speechless. After a pause, she responded: “I have not heard that proposed to the president nor have I spoken to …

Published by Parlour News

A lawsuit has hit the Hannah Montana star like a Wrecking Ball. Will she be able to buy herself Flowers after this? (Left): Miley Cyrus in Flowers music video; (right): Bruno Mars in a still from When I Was Your Man video. Miley Cyrus has been accused of copying a popular Bruno Mars song for her Grammy-winning hit “Flowers,” according to a new lawsuit. While a music rights-acquiring platform is coming hard at the songstress with heavy claims, the Silk Sonic singer, a secondary subject of the suit, is conspicuously out of the picture, as he is not listed as a plaintiff in the complaint. Tempo Music Investments, a company claiming to own a share of Mars’ song’s – “When I Was Your Man” – copyright, has sued the former Disney superstar for copyright infringement. Legal documents reportedly point out numerous similarities between “Flowers” and Bruno’s 2011 track, targetting Cyrus for “intentionally copying” it.
