You've probably heard this claim - both from @rishisunak and more recently from @Nigel_Farage 👇

A delight to have been able to experience this finale concert and spend time with numerous staff, supporters and sponsors who make sure @the_halle thrives in #Manchester - Thank you and Happy Birthday Sir Mark Elder.
😭 W-O-W we're struggling to find the words after our last Manchester concert with Sir Mark Elder 😭
Thank you to everybody who came and supported us this weekend. The outpour of love towards us and Sir Mark has been overwhelming ❤️

And it’s down by 0.7% in 2023.
That’s very bad!
