This afternoon in PMQs, @JohnSlinger stressed the importance of music education and asked the Prime Minister to invest in music and creatives subjects so that they are accessible for all children. Hear the question and the PM's response👇

Replying to @oldbooksguy
3/ Nietzsche describes 3 modern vices a) Overwork. To be constantly busy is self-negation. It betrays "a will to forget" oneself b) Curiosity. Vague curiosity about everything, without deep obsessions, goes nowhere c) Sympathy. Sympathy for all = a refusal to rank good & bad

“If a talent comes naturally to someone, they assume it’s nothing special, and instead try to improve at what seems difficult to them. As a result, people often specialize in things they're bad at.” — @G_S_Bhogal

Whatever you’re doing - recording, performing, teaching - every moment with your instrument is a gift; an opportunity to learn, befriend, discover. Strive to approach all these moments with gratitude and curiosity, no matter the circumstance. #musician #notetoself

This church took 632 years to build — what inspired it? Heinrich Heine explained: "Men in those days had convictions; we moderns have opinions. And it needs more than opinions to build a Gothic cathedral." And it was built to keep something extraordinary inside... (thread) 🧵

I have been a free-speech advocate my whole adult life. This simply *MUST* include voices one disagrees with to be in any way meaningful. I remain a stubborn believer that talking across divides with humility and openness is the only path to a better world❤️ #HateCrimeActScotland
