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.

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.

Few have written as many words attacking me as ⁦@OborneTweets⁩ over the years. I forgive him every one of them for this seminal piece on Brexit. This is the kind of honesty and seriousness we need from our politicians right now. opendemocracy.net/en/opendem…

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.

Boris - You are not equipped to unite the Party which you have so recklessly divided. Please think less about yourself and instead focus only on solving the historic crisis we now face which you have done so much to create. @bbclaurak #backthePMtheclockisticking

I've been sat up in bed for hours, whisky on the bedside table, soft jazz playing in the background, trying to think if I've ever worked with a more idiotic bunch of self centred bastards in my nearly 50 years as a MP. Nope, still can't think of any. Time for another bottle.

Chris is a real gent
For week 35 of #50YearsofOpera, and seeing as it's a #BankHolidayMonday, we are treating you to a video with the wonderful Chris Francois who many of you will have seen either at Stage Door or in the Front of House area of the London Coliseum. He's one of ENO's true gems!
