@cb_doge @elonmusk It IS 100 percent about Russia. If they withdraw from a sovereign nation war is OVER and no one else dies. If Ukraine stops their nation is lost. It's existential. Putin has NEVER held to any previous ceasefire.

@WorldHallOfFun @ggreenwald @elonmusk Bad analysis here! You show 7 EU countries out of 27. NOT the whole block. EU given more than USA despite a smaller economic output.

@LoisMcLatch I really, really don't get the squeak? Bottom line this protects WOMEN from being harassed in their right to have an abortion without being yelled at. It's legalese poorly communicated. Nothing more. No Biggie. Vance is idiot.

@socio_plath Scout, just read your article. Your courage, honest and humanity shone through; so many colours from black to vibrant orange. Brilliant writing. Wishing you the very best in your journey.

Seeing tiny world class specialist institutions like BOVTS no longer viable hurts us all. https://t.co/DqRDQPsgVR

@RosieKayK2CO @Freedom_in_Arts Rosie, happy to do this. Bit work intense for a bit but will get in touch.

@icylin36 @ProfDisaster23 @RosieKayK2CO @Freedom_in_Arts I am the type that needs to have their supper now! Have a good night y'all and listen to some jazz. X

[Nikki Shepperd @NikkiShepperd]

@JazzTulip @RosieKayK2CO @Freedom_in_Arts Ever tried to suspend/remove staff with a tenure of a decade+ in education, business or local authority, plus litigious adverse HR department and reputation to consider. V.v hard, so this case must of had fire, not just smoke. This is no freedom fight!

@ProfDisaster23 @icylin36 @RosieKayK2CO @Freedom_in_Arts Ok, I'd take an anti acid tab!😘 Please read the letter. It's v.v unusual. As an educator it's not ok. Take out Black, put in women. Feel the same? Playing gigs different. Jazzers are smart & collegiate. Patronising to think they can't decide their response to his free speech.

[Nikki Shepperd @NikkiShepperd]

@elegantferal61 @RosieKayK2CO @Freedom_in_Arts I think if we see how very, very few Black students attend Conservatoire, get the gigs, or become lecturers, or have sustainable careers into their 60's they and all of us should be asking why.

[Nikki Shepperd @NikkiShepperd]

@ChiuauaTeardrop @RosieKayK2CO @Freedom_in_Arts AND this is jazz, a genre hewn in moments of respite from slavery!! It's a bit bizarre to complain about lack of advancement for White jazzers when the jazz sector is not exactly diverse when it comes to who leads, runs it and earns the most.

[Nikki Shepperd @NikkiShepperd]

@AmadeusBach26 @RosieKayK2CO @Freedom_in_Arts No, he claimed young Black jazz artists had achieved only due to race and Trinity was filling quotas. Untrue. Unfortunately it's a tricky position for an educator of Black students. As an artist fair play, but other musicians can express views too by not playing alongside.

I can't imagine how terrifying it is to do an Olympic Opening without a full rehearsal. French Stage management got nerves of steel. Who ever is calling this, you're amazing! #OpeningCeremony

[Nikki Shepperd @NikkiShepperd]

Great music in opening sequence. Getting some Phantom vibes. Good job Paris #OpeningCeremony

[Nikki Shepperd @NikkiShepperd]

@Scaramucci Great work. Brilliant contacts. Informative. Entertaining. Simples.

[Naomi Biden @NaomiBiden]

I’m nothing but proud today of my Pop, our President, Joe Biden, who has served our country with every bit of his soul and with unmatched distinction. Not only has he been—and will continue to be—the most effective president of our lifetime, but he has likely already cemented himself as the most effective and impactful public servant in our nation’s history. He has been at the center of, and had a material impact on, literally every single major issue that our country and world has faced for 50 years. Our world is better today in so many ways thanks to him. To the Americans who have always had his back, keep the faith. He will always have ours.

[Nikki Shepperd @NikkiShepperd]

Agree re specialist pathways but it needs 8 to 10 years investment and £2k per child per year. Got to get real re cost. Currently it's privileged parents. Where's the State? https://t.co/BPI2TKB1iz
