In case anyone who reads my tweets needs convincing of the powerful effect of music on all aspects of development, just look at this lot! musiceducationworks.wordpres… Please retweet like crazy, because there’s lots of, “they should get on with their real work“ nonsense going around.

This is urgent! The Government wants to impose a catastrophic 50% funding cut to arts subjects at higher education (HE) level in England. I've joined the @Public_Campaign for the Arts to tell @GavinWilliamson: arts education matters. Will you join too? campaignforthearts.org/petit…

If anyone is thinking of voting for Farage tomorrow, please have a look at this first.
I don't mind Right-Wing thugs chucking their drinks on me. I don't mind them poking me in the face with a flagpole. I do mind that Nigel Farage is set to WIN the European Elections on Thursday, by calling anyone who opposes a form of Brexit he said would never happen, "traitors".

Tell me again that there is no far right in this country. Tell me again that I am wrong to call it out. Britain's proudest moment in history was helping to defeat fascism. We now have to confront this ideology of hate again.

The Father of the House thinks you’re a pompous, pathetic little squirt. Go back and sit on Jacob Rees-Mogg’s lap whilst we adults debate the real issues including how not to destroy British business. Moron.
