We’re going to hear lots of stories about which people, policies and rhetoric are to blame for the Democrats’ defeat.
Some of those stories may even be true!
But an underrated factor is that 2024 was an absolutely horrendous year for incumbents around the world 👇
Went to M&S to get flowers and someone knocked over their entire stock trolley of eggs and I can’t even explain the amount of egg. Maybe 1000 eggs.

Had a blast performing Finzi’s Clarinet Concerto and Stephen Dodgson’s Last of the Leaves on Sunday with @Lucy_Goddard1, her wonderful Concordium String Ensemble and baritone Jon Stainsby. Photos by my very supportive duo partner @Aoyarzabalpiano who came to watch!

@AntoineAmi and I had a lovely time performing our programme of works for clarinet & 🎹 by female composers at @ChiCathedral last Tuesday. People seemed to really enjoy learning about many composers they didn’t know & their great works. Next week we’ll be in Peterborough!

Kudos to @WeAreTheMU for providing one-off grants to new parents. Every little helps in the UK, where self-employed fathers don’t get paternity leave at all; the UK ranks 40th/43 OECD countries on paternity pay overall. Just 2% of what the UK spends on parental leave goes to dads

Ahead of Father’s Day: I spoke to @fatherhoodinst about my experience as a self-employed new father (soon to be for the second time) in the UK, where self-employed dads don’t get paternity leave at all. Read my interview here: b63883e4-9279-4749-9c70-3504… 1/2

Again - how dare a government that has cut funding for 16-19 education by 15%, cut youth services by 70%, whacked up student loan repayments, overseen record rises in rents, and cut unemployment/housing benefits say this stuff?

I dug into the budget sheets to have a look at the realities of modern day touring costs for a bunch of artists. Such is the struggle for many established acts to tour profitably, it’s been declared a cost of touring crisis. theguardian.com/music/2024/a… – at Sheffield, England
