Who are the people she has been listening to?
“The British people back the Governments (Illegal Migration) bill” @SuellaBraverman has told Parliament.
RT this if you think she’s wrong
Delighted that after 3 years Brighton & Hove Arts Orchestra will be presenting a Summer Concert again. And, of course, I am looking forward to conducting these wonderful players! If you are in Brighton, it would be lovely to see some of my friends on 18 June.
Very excited that the programme for this concert includes my (rather early) Colloquy. Rest of the programme looks great as well!
Looking forward to playing with @RiotEns at @brightfest on Wednesday! brightonfestival.org/whats-o…
Hoping to see lots of Brighton friends in the audience @NewMusicBrightn @CoMA_Sussex @MAS_Lewes @musicSussex @chiunimusic
We’re hoping to return to Brighton as homeowners soon 🤞🤞🤞
Privatisation is threatened apparently because of the high cost of services to families. Didn't work with British Rail (and much else)bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-6…
This is exciting: my 1967(!) work 'Colloquy' in a Brighton Festival performance by the amazing Riot Ensemble - May 11th brightonfestival.org/whats-o…

Can't help but feel that Sue Gray should just publish and be damned rather than wait for the Met to fine a few people £100 - unless something really criminal has been going on.
⚠️Secondary schools are missing the #ArtsPremium, which the Conservatives promised to "fund enriching activities for all pupils". I've signed the @Public_Campaign petition to say to @RishiSunak: #KeepYourPromise and support the creativity of every child. campaignforthearts.org/petit…
MPs need pay rise as living on £81k can be 'really grim', says Tory MP. He should do what his leader suggests: retrain and look for a better job. mirror.co.uk/news/politics/m…
The PM said to the BBC: "What we said to the road haulage industry was 'fine, give us the names of the drivers that you want ... and we will sort out the visas'.
"They only produced 127 names so far. What that shows is the global shortage." Or that they don't want to come here?
Another Brexit bonus, if you have any fuel of course: bbc.co.uk/news/business-5873…
Things may be returning to normal! I'll be off shortly to sit in on the Aurora Trio rehearsing my '...dreams, shadows, and smoke' for a New Music Brighton concert in November. And Brighton & Hove Arts Orchestra rehearsals start again this month - must dust off my baton!
I feel a little confused: it seems that Brexit is not yet done after all. bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-5… (Gibraltar) bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-5… (Northern Ireland). What else?

Covid-19 deaths current 7-day average: 16. So we are told we don't need to wear face coverings (PM yesterday). Total convictions for electoral fraud in 2019: 4, so voter ID is needed. Curious logic.
'Government advice has emerged urging people not to travel into and out of areas hardest hit by the Indian coronavirus variant, unless necessary.' bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-57… Is it unfair to think they didn't actually want to make a public announcement? Why not? Herd immunity?
'The Seagulls, who stay 17th, have now dropped 25 points from winning positions in the Premier League this season.' (BBC match report) Would put us above Chelsea if we'd kept the lead!
Archaic rules should be changed so that important bills can be carried forward to the next parliamentary session instead of rushing them through, with inadequate thought and dire financial consequences to the innocent, to meet a deadline set by the PM. bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-5…
Interesting: Post-vaccine clots still much rarer than in population at large - I wonder if the vaccine could even reduce the risk of blood clots? bbc.co.uk/news/live/uk-56398… via @BBCNews
This is worrying. If the noise of a protest could have “a relevant impact on persons in the vicinity of the procession” (MPs?) the police can impose restrictions. Having an impact is usually the point! politics.co.uk/comment/2021/… Black Lives Matter: Priti Patel’s anti-protest law
