🚨 The vote to determine Israel's participation in #Eurovision 2026 will no longer take place in November, the EBU has confirmed today.

Instead, an "open and in-person discussion" will take place at the EBU General Assembly in December. No vote is currently planned.

20 years ago. Electric really did deserve top 10 that week

A top 10 has been chosen, and it’s very much giving “Eurofan in their mid 30s” #NFC100 #Eurovision

Heartbreak (Make Me A Dancer) should have been number one for 6 months, absolute banger! #dragraceuk

Caught up with the Strictly launch, here’s my first instinct prediction for the results. I think it could finally be Karen’s year #Strictly

That’s almost identical to Poison Cake!

Husband told me about the Ireland Eurovision news before even I found out about it. This is clearly huge news.

Slovenia are one of my favourite Eurovision nations, so it’s sad to potentially not have them participate in Vienna, but I really appreciate them making a stand on this issue. Hopefully the EBU makes the right “moves”

🇸🇮 RTVSLO has confirmed that it will not participate in #Eurovision 2026 if Israel is in Vienna. According to the broadcaster, its decision "depends on the EBU's moves".

The decision will be made no later than RTVSLO's 2026 programming release, typically in winter.

Pride isn’t pride without a 15 minute set from Booty Luv, who are still hell bent on promoting only their first album when the outright gay anthem Say It is right there!

Is there anything worse than accidentally nudging someone to do their Duolingo? Especially at this hour! 🤦‍♂️

Latvia not sending LĪGO to the second chance contest is unfortunate. Think it’ll come down to Albania and Finland for the win, but I’m rooting for Külm
