Looking forward to welcoming y'all to our concert 🎶 #Victoria4tet The Stoller Hall

Today I heard Lord Melvyn Bragg speak in Parliament on the contribution of the arts to the economy and society.

Under a The Labour Party government, I will do everything I can to make sure that the creative industries have what they need to do what they do so well - create joy.

A big thank you to Imperial College London for hosting our lunchtime concert yesterday.🎶🎵

GB News has been found guilty of breaking Ofcom rules for the 6th time.

It is only 2 years old, has broken the rules 6 times, doesn't pay tax, is owned by someone living in Dubai.

And is currently begging for £30m to pay its bills.

RT if it is time to revoke their license.

Michelle Mone can be expelled from the House of Lords by a simple majority vote in the Commons, and then in the House of Lords.

Like if she needs to go.
RT if she has to go.

My view: ENO's move to Manchester will mean the end of its orchestra and chorus, but it's what the Arts Council wanted all along

Note to Arts Council England: the glee emanating from ‘official’ channels about English National Opera’s move to Manchester (deliberately) masks a stark & heartbreaking scenario facing highly trained musicians for whom relocation will condemn them to leave the industry because there IS NO OTHER WORK.

We Victoria String Quartet and friends have had a brilliantly productive few days hosted by the wonderful and hospitable Marchmont and we can't wait to hear the final recordings Helen Leach 🎶🎶🎶🎶

Richard Simpson (of course!) just after he'd finished recording 'Where Hope Was Sown', my new Oboe Quintet. What a triumph of artistry. And what a joy for me to sit and listen to him with the amazing Victoria String Quartet all afternoon through the headphones.

Rishi Sunak told Beth Rigby 'That's not what the Public wants.' When asked about a General Election.

Like if you want a General Election
RT if you really want one.

Liar Rishi Sunak has to go.

Such a powerful speech, from the heart, about Suella Braverman's views on multiculturalism in Britain from
Lisa Nandy 👏🏼

Rapturous applause from the audience.

It's worth watching ⏬️ #bbcqt
