⚠ UPDATE: The signalling problem at #LondonVictoria has now been resolved. A separate issue means platform 6 remains out of use, but services are able to run normally into all other platforms.

Here we go. Close down the arts courses! Progress!
“We’re going to stop the government funding dead end university courses”
Shadow education secretary Laura Trott says her party would stop funding courses that “don’t deliver for young people” citing some creative arts courses as an example

We cut arts funding but spent £4m on each Olympic medal. Is that fair?
Brilliant article: bang on @RichmoMusic

My brand new #radio show - Vis the Spoon’s Bottomless Brunch - is on hSpark.co.uk EVERY #Tuesday & #Thursday from midday-2pm. 2 hours of BRILLIANT #tunes & bewildering #psychobabble. You’ll wonder how u ever got thru the working day without it !
Collab. between @RCMLondon Junior Department and @MReadFoundation culminated in a great concert with RCMJD chamber groups + brilliant percussionist/composer Cameron Sinclair. MRF patron Dame Judith Weir shared the day, and enhanced the young composers' experience.

This is good. It’s very very good. And I say that as a scruffy, penniless working class herbert from Balsall Heath in Birmingham who made good. And made a movie about Nureyev. And fulfilled a lifelong dream of flying to bloody Space. And Votes Labour. 🌹

Take 2 minutes to watch this. It’s one of the best interviews I’ve seen so far on the #DoctorsStrike. Thank you @DrHilaryJones.
