Twice during todays Conservatives Manifesto launch @RishiSunak shamelessly referred to the ECHR as a “foreign court”

The European Court of Human Rights IS NOT A FOREIGN COURT - it’s an international court which we signed up to as he very well knows!

Today I worked with three junior doctors and six nurses who would be ineligible to come and work in the NHS if the govt’s desperate dog-whistle of a policy to raise the earning cap to £35k goes through. That would reduce the staffing levels by 33%. But maybe that’s the plan?

Ely Cathedral yesterday evening. Over 200 state school children singing Gerontius with @GabrieliCandP Roar and @Paul_McCreesh = the culture of the possible.

BREAKING 🚨: Greenpeace lawyers are in court challenging the government’s RECKLESS decision to greenlight a new oil & gas licensing round, without properly checking the damage it will do to the climate.

Fires are raging across the world and our govt is adding fuel to the flames.

What book would @RevRichardColes take to a desert island?

@OSoden's Masquerade: The Lives of Noël Coward! Good choice, we say.

A huge pleasure to be back at @JAMontheMarsh this evening with @mozartplayers and Nicolas Cleobury, giving it large in Tippett's fabulous Corelli Fantasia. Introduced with such love and authority by @OSoden, whose biography of the great man I can't wait to plunge into.

[JAM @jamconcert_uk]

Thank you @nickythespence, Dylan Perez and @OSoden for a wonderful afternoon with Noël Coward's songs & witt!

Wow: all 750,000 Germans turning 18 this year get 200 euro to spend on any cultural good: concerts, theater, movies, musical instruments, books, records etc. It'll cost 100 million euro and is given in recognition of what young people lost during pandemic.

Integrating solo instrumentalists into a dramatisation has been an especially rewarding aspect of collaborating on St Matthew Passion with @solomonsknot. Beautifully captured here by @AW_Photographer at Trinity College, Cambridge. @CambsEarlyMusic [thread]

Following a vibrant Rhinegold at @E_N_O, conductor Martyn Brabbins makes an impassioned plea:

“If we follow the implications of what the Arts Council have asked us to do, what you heard and saw tonight will be in massive jeopardy. . . .

“Do everything you can to support us.”

[Dave Lowe @DaveLoweMusic]

Today we’ve already seen the incredible value of the @GabrieliCandP @Paul_McCreesh @erd_27 project - I expected students to be tired today. Instead they were beaming, with greater confidence and so much excitement for the next time to sing together @manorceacademy #Lifechanging

Really encouraging news - PR is vital if we are to refresh our political system and give more space to new parties - and indeed rebuild the centre ground

Well, well, well,

Have a watch of this…

Govt voted to relax laws on letting water firms pump sewage into our waters

Why?

Because water firms could no longer get the chemicals needed to treat the water

Why?
