@BBCr4today why not run the train overnight?

[Richard Jones @askrichardarts]

A nine carriage train from London to Plymouth has only five cars. Standing room only for some. A bus has a standee limit but does a train? #GWR

@ThomasJPitts @DrLizStafford This looks like a very interesting resource

@BBCRadio2
Please tell Bob Harris that the show should be about music not him?

[Richard Jones @askrichardarts]

@jpjsavage @LCRMusicBoard So is this the Music Hub Lead Organisation board or something wider?

[Richard Jones @askrichardarts]

@Music_bod Procurement exercise. If it is all arts who else could apply but ACE? Or it could be a conglomerate of NPOs. National Gallery, Royal Opera House and National Theatre/ RSC.

[Richard Jones @askrichardarts]

@jondcarroll @DeborahAnnetts @ISM_music Other thoughts are in a procurement exercise it could be a conglomerate of NPOs. National Gallery, Royal Opera House and National Theatre/ RSC.

[Richard Jones @askrichardarts]

@jondcarroll @DeborahAnnetts @ISM_music Will it be asked to do more with less or a continued standstill budget? No announcement yet for 25/26

[Richard Jones @askrichardarts]

@Johnfinney8 @Music_bod The DfE has always thought in those terms. Crazy!

[Richard Jones @askrichardarts]

@Music_bod It will be procured.Arts Council must be in pole position given their cross arts remit. The question arises that is there another organisation with such a remit that could tender for it?

[Richard Jones @askrichardarts]

Do parents and learners value the arts?

[Richard Jones @askrichardarts]

@Music_bod Shame no mention of Dance or little of drama. How should we interpret this?

[Richard Jones @askrichardarts]

With the rise of AI is a secure knowledge based curriculum more important than ever? Discuss

[Richard Jones @askrichardarts]

Interesting. Does this hark back to the special schools era? What role will there be for the new music hub lead schools?

[Richard Jones @askrichardarts]

Appalled that there is no mention of Dance in the Curriculum and Assessment Review and not much on Drama. Why is it always "Music and the Arts" ? I remember trying to get the DfE to think of just the "Arts" over 15 years ago!

[Richard Jones @askrichardarts]

More appalling waste of the licence fee. Last week Clive Myrie was in LA, last night in Washington. Today's R4's Nick Robinson is in Tel Aviv and Justin Webb is in Washington. They don't need to be there. The BBC has local reporters on and shows can be anchored from London.

[Richard Jones @askrichardarts]

This is a disgrace. Not sure who is responsible for the day to day ownership of the school, but at the very least the diocese should be hanging their heads in shame.
