PS There’s a stat I’ve 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). 🙏🙏🙏🙏
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: we’ve got a lively one here…
Asked by my principal stakeholder ‘do you know why judges wear wigs?’….daughter no.2: ‘to intimidate the proletariat?’….
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! 🎶
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!
Standard family road trip listening to playlist consisting of @HH_World songs. The question on everyone’s lips about the genius performers from HH and #Ghosts is ‘what’s next?’…
To be honest it would be more newsworthy if #Cabinet#Ministers hadn’t written to the #Chancellor protesting potential cuts to their departmental budgets.
You’d be a pretty rubbish advocate for your policy portfolio if you thought it needed less not more #investment.
