PS Thereโs a stat Iโve never been able to source that local govt went from controlling 90% of spending in 1900 to 10% of (much larger) spending in 2000. We probably need to devolve at least one big tax, possibly more.
@rcolvile In the spirit of fixing the foundations, if the UK adopted a graduated driver licensing system to create a better class of young and then future drivers, we would begin to address the cause of safety concerns and reduce the need for regulatory driven costs to tackle the symptoms.
@BBCSteveR@BBCSingers@BBCRadio3 Profoundly moving. Always grateful for your work whether as one of the best and bravest journalists on the planet or as a talented and instinctive musician. (And it goes without saying but sadly does need restating how uniquely talented the BBC Singers are too). ๐๐๐๐
5 things government could do for music ed (England):
1) Make music mandatory in all schools, all pupils
2) Overhaul music teacher training & recruit more
3) Make music a key issue in Ofsted inspections
4) Double the music hub grant
5) Manage music hubs directly from DFE
Dining table reflections: weโve got a lively one hereโฆ
Asked by my principal stakeholder โdo you know why judges wear wigs?โโฆ.daughter no.2: โto intimidate the proletariat?โโฆ.
This is brilliant news. Ruth's combination of experiences as a professional singer and arts manager will be an enormous asset to Cambridge Handel Opera Company as we start our next Act.
Happy We! ๐ถ
Very glad to have been elected to the Joint Committee on National Security Strategy (@JointCtteNSS) at this essential time where Britain needs to develop its strategy.
Looking forward to rolling my sleeves up and getting stuck in!
Commentators who keep dismissing Farage and the Reform project in the UK need to wake up. The lessons from #USAElection2024 are very clear ๐ฌ๐ง ๐บ๐ธ
Standard family road trip listening to playlist consisting of @HH_World songs. The question on everyoneโs lips about the genius performers from HH and #Ghosts is โwhatโs next?โโฆ
To be honest it would be more newsworthy if #Cabinet#Ministers hadnโt written to the #Chancellor protesting potential cuts to their departmental budgets.
Youโd be a pretty rubbish advocate for your policy portfolio if you thought it needed less not more #investment.
