Sir Antony Gormley: Brexit is the “biggest act of self-harm this country has ever played on itself.'

“I think of all the things we have lost, from Erasmus scholarships to all those musicians and artists who can no longer travel freely.”

It looks like Angela Rayner avoided £1500 in tax. So can we please stop going on about the £4.9bn Covid fraud, Jezza’s 7 flats, Rishi’s non Dom wife, Zahawi’s billions, McVey’s property flipping, Bone/Wagg/Pincher etc sex scandals, Johnson’s £250k free legal advice. Fair’s fair.

It’s that time of the month when I get together with my best mate and over quite a few beers, we set the world to rights, mainly the classical music world. I wonder what tonight’s “hot topics” will be?! #ihaveagoodideawhattheywillbe

A week ago today! 💿

Thank you so much to everyone involved, and for all the lovely messages 🥰

CONCERT No.900 - 16:00 today with the Orchestra of The Reform Club. Haydn Symphony No.96 ‘Miracle’ followed by Beethoven’s Eroica.

CONCERT 899 - Tonight, Symphony Hall, Birmingham. ‘Baroque to Broadway’ with the superstar talents of Danielle de Niese and Niall O'Sullivan all accompanied by the world class CBSO - should be a wonderful evening of music making!

Last night I was listening live to Royal Liverpool Philharmonic in classics by Enescu, Prokofiev and Brahms. Today I'm looking forward to hearing them on record in new orchestral music by Dani Howard.

It’s album release day!!! 💿 🤩

CONCERT 898 - This morning was the last of 8 Schools Concerts in Liverpool. Superb concerts devised and presented by the best there is, Alasdair Malloy and played by the incredible Royal Liverpool Philharmonic with so much energy all week. Oh and one last thing - Minute Waltz today - 0:49!!!

It's the last morning of the Royal Royal Liverpool Philharmonic Orchestra Schools Concerts 2024! It's been an incredible week of joyous music making, learning and most of all FUN! Thank you to our superstar musicians...they are all Champions! Queen

Another two attempts at the Minute Waltz today with Royal Liverpool Philharmonic - this morning we equalled our best of 0:55, this afternoon, we smashed our record with a 0:52! Maybe with one more concert with Alasdair Malloy tomorrow morning we can get it even lower? Wish us luck!

CONCERTS 896 & 897 - we will be ‘Going for Gold’ at the orchestral Olympics again today. Royal Liverpool Philharmonic seem to have endless energy, probably due to having a truly inspirational coach in Alasdair Malloy - can we get the Minute Waltz down to under 55 seconds? Only time will tell…

It’s objectively very funny that America is currently having a “my senile old man is better than your senile old man” contest.
