@daisyldixon @marginletter That’s not the silhouette of the late Queen at the foot of the step ladder is it? If so the irony is further compounded…..

@mrmarksteel Begin with a K an arty place, but so easily becomes the American President’s face…..

@ClarksonsFarm1 I look like that when I’ve got my weener caught.

@daisyldixon Fine self awareness I’d say!

@robprogressive You could always donate your ‘saved’ school fees to your child’s new state school, they would be very grateful I’m sure.

@FXMC1957 I think it’s 643 with the latest evidence.

@AutoPap 06 Disco 3 owner: 185,000 miles, driven daily in UK, and throughout Europe. Regularly serviced and maintained (the secret to trouble free running). Only one inconvenience when front air suspension sensor failed. A stitch in time saves nine: change those fluids!

@GWRHelp Thanks Matteo, I’ll give that a shot again later today.

Morning @GWRHelp Having real problems with accessing my account on your App, seeing my railcard , signing in and not receiving password reset emails; is there a problem I should know about? Using tickets without being able to show my railcard could be problematic….

[Clive Grant @clivegrant8]

@GWRHelp Still no joy with a reset email I’m afraid.

[Clive Grant @clivegrant8]

@GWRHelp Hi Matteo
Have done that twice, and phoned you helpline but all to no avail. Your customer support sent me another download code, but the issue is logging onto my account. The email he sent me to reset my password, as with all the other times I requested yesterday didn’t arrive.

@Music_bod Certainly ensures an ever-expanding curriculum content!

[Clive Grant @clivegrant8]

@Music_bod @Johnfinney8 I think Dr Who needs to be canvassed for an opinion here……

[Clive Grant @clivegrant8]

Sometimes pictures are worth a thousand words when it comes to academics explaining how to facilitate pupils’ progression…..

[Clive Grant @clivegrant8]

@DrFautley I am beginning to wonder how long it will be before the Arts in schools reach an unsustainable crisis point. A descending spiral to crash and burn because of years of uninformed curriculum pressures and lack of expert specialists in the classroom. Government must listen and act.

[Clive Grant @clivegrant8]

@EnglishCadence @Johnfinney8 @DrLizStafford SLT have always loved to evidence progress by focussing on the easily measurable aspects of the arts, especially if it can be written in an exercise book and left open for all to see on those ‘learning walks’…..

[Clive Grant @clivegrant8]

@Johnfinney8 Without context how can we confidently talk about meaning?

Reform UK MP Lee Anderson has been ordered to apologise by parliament’s watchdog for bullying & harassment after it found he told a security guard to “f**** off, everyone opens the door to me”

@dickstrawbridge Still in SW England. Seems late to me.

Prime Minister @Keir_Starmer reflected today on how playing the flute gave him many opportunities at a young age.

Music has the power to enrich young people's lives. It is vital that Labour fulfils its pledge to put music and the arts back at the heart of our schools.
