Indescribably depressing

[Dr Gary Spruce @GarySpruce1]

This is very good from Nicola Benedetti. Music, the expressive arts and
creativity at the heart of what it is to be human.

Many congratulations to the new Labour Govt. Please keep listening to @ISM_music and those who work in music. Together we can sort out the huge post Brexit challenges of performing in Europe, music ed, the urgent need to scrap the EBacc and much more. @KeeleyMP @bphillipsonMP

"Brexit has ruined this country, and now the majority of Britons thinks so too."

RT if you are that majority.

[BladeoftheSun @BladeoftheS]

When Junior Doctors are on £16 an hour and MP's are on £46 an hour.

And raising the Junior Doctors pay by £4 an hour is unaffordable, even though they just raised MP's pay by £5 an hour.

It's hard not to see the lie.

RT if Junior Doctors NEED paying.

Alan Bates has vowed to raise funds to prosecute Post Offices bosses if inquiry doesn't produce results.

Like if you support him
RT if you want to see them jailed

Alternatively, why not fund music education properly and send teenagers on summer music courses and orchestra tours?

[Patrick Allies @PatrickAllies]

Compulsory national service options should include singing tenor in your neighbourhood choir or playing viola in your local orchestra.

If everyone who wants The Conversatives out on the 4th of July follows and retweets we'll reach a million by midnight and have a much bigger voice for the next six weeks.

[Secret Headteacher @secretHT1]

Maybe, instead of National Service for 18 year olds they should introduce national service for MPs.

They all have to do several weeks volunteering in a school, GP, hospital, care home, social care and police within their first 12 months in office.

[James Manwaring @jpmanwaring]

I’ve got a good policy idea for any political party that is better than the latest national service one. Ensure all young people get a music education and a chance to learn an instrument.

[Andrew Morris @devilstrillblog]

The Royal Welsh College of Music and Drama told its staff today that it is axeing its junior department at the end of this term. Almost 200 children study there on saturdays. That will all stop in July. This is not rich kids playing expensive instruments. One of them texted...

[Vaughan Fleischfresser @VFleischfresser]

Fact.

[James Manwaring @jpmanwaring]

Forget anything else you read today about education, schools need more music!

It brings joy to the lives of students, staff and parents.

Let’s stop debating toilets, methods and ofsted and start banging the drum for music education for all!!

[Roger Montgomery @RogMontgomery]

@PatrickAllies Please don't.
