Of course she's brilliant and working with her is the greatest blessing a scruffy music teacher like me could dream of.
But Lucy is what happens when you make instrumental tuition available to disadvantaged children.
Help us to get this message across to those who decide.

@DavidLammy You need to stop helping them.

[Daniel Bath @daniel_bath]

@michael_merrick Yes, like the Palestinian Christians being murdered by the Israeli state, which is a very close ally and economic partner of our government (i.e. the British one) against which, as British voters, we protest.

[Daniel Bath @daniel_bath]

@michael_merrick It makes me think that ordinary people think that we should withdraw economic support from a state which is dedicating itself to the genocide of the Palestinian people. I agree with such people.

[Daniel Bath @daniel_bath]

@michael_merrick In my experience, a police officer would probably judge this to warrant an A.S.B.O..

[Daniel Bath @daniel_bath]

@michael_merrick As this is in a Telegraph headline, it probably isn't true.
However, surely the idea of studying the relationships between different communities around the known world in the early middle ages is a fascinating one, especially for us Catholics.

[Daniel Bath @daniel_bath]

@amwilson_opera @jessicaelgot Surely it is not good to make the sustainability of one's children's education dependent on the consistency of one's income.
A state school will endeavour to meet a child's needs, whatever the ups and downs of the parents' finances (except, sadly, in instrumental tuition).

@amwilson_opera When I was an undergraduate at Cambridge, I sometimes used to go to other people's lectures instead because they sometimes seemed more interesting than the ones on my course (music). ASNaC was especially fascinating.

@michael_merrick How did you manage to find sense in this grammarless morass?

[Daniel Bath @daniel_bath]

@LeeAndersonMP_ Lee, as someone representing a lot of people in parliament, you probably ought to know that being vegetarian isn't to do with seeing meat, but rather about eating meat.

[Daniel Bath @daniel_bath]

@michael_merrick Especially if you're into halberds.

[Daniel Bath @daniel_bath]

@michael_merrick The riches of British culture and tradition are consistently denigrated and undermined by our national and regional institutions. This is partly why some find it so difficult to accommodate communities confident and wealthy in their traditions, languages and living culture.

[William Dalrymple @DalrympleWill]

The reputation of the Labour Party will never recover if the @Keir_Starmer & @DavidLammy continue their complicity with this mass slaugnter & ethnic cleansing

@RevRichardColes @Telegraph Lies a lack of integrity from the Telegraph? Surely not!

Our friend @therimaahmed has got a brilliant new podcast series!

[Daniel Bath @daniel_bath]

Ooooo! It's the marvellous @therimaahmed !

[Daniel Bath @daniel_bath]

@amwilson_opera But what you describe in your comment, which you think is laughable, is good values. If that's politicisation, then, yes, let's politicise our children. (I do understand that you don't like this book, which I can't comment on, because this is the first I've heard of it.)

[Daniel Bath @daniel_bath]

@amwilson_opera We are Roman Catholic family. We have always brought up our children from birth to do exactly what you write in this comment, because that is our tradition. It's how my parents brought me up and how their parents brought them up. Do you find our ancient tradition laughable?

Here's another movement of A Todmorden Cantata from our performance during the 150th anniversary celebrations of Todmorden Town Hall. https://t.co/zDVF5uBikU

@amwilson_opera @Ind_Ox_Alliance @KakocratWatchUK @OxfordshireCC When done properly, citizen's assemblies are very carefully selected to be as representative as possible of the population concerned. It's much better than the current system where those with the biggest mouths, sense of entitlement and bank balances get to decide.

[Daniel Bath @daniel_bath]

@DalrympleWill Of course, all the politician's tributes are likey to be fairly superficial and secular, but Jeremy Corbyn puts it well, I think: https://t.co/ejYJvXxMBn

[Jeremy Corbyn @jeremycorbyn]

Pope Francis dedicated his life to the marginalised, displaced and dispossessed.

A rare voice for humanity, he spent his final days on this earth calling for peace.

Let his enduring legacy — of empathy, courage and kindness — inspire us to build a more humane world for all.
