It is right that the BBC has suspended its decision to disband BBC Singers. But the renowned BBC Philharmonic Orchestra, BBC Symphony Orchestra & Chorus & BBC Concert Orchestra are still under threat from 20% cuts to jobs. The BBC must reconsider these cuts too, which could prove devastating for classical music.

“So instead, the immigration minister has been sent round the country with a copy of Waterways Weekly…” WHAT A LINE! Formidable Yvette Cooper

If you want to see Michelle Mone kicked out of the House of Lords and arrested until she pays the £136,000,000 she owes give this a RT.

Why hasn’t John Rutter been knighted?

WELL SAID John Eliot. BRAVO for getting this out there on primetime.

The Coronation showcased the brilliance of the UK’s classical music output. But classical music is under threat on multiple fronts, with falling provision of music education & cuts both to funding & jobs in orchestras. Here’s my question to the Government asking for a debate👇

This is offensive. You have destroyed music education, decimated the performing arts throughout the country and made it 1000 x more difficult to work in the EU thanks to Brexit. Now you want to boast about the creative sector? Shame on you. How do you people sleep at night?!

Hi British Airways you've re-routed a Belfast City flight to Dublin on a Sunday night - but you're not putting on coaches to get your passengers to their intended destination. Any clues how to get our family to the North? POOR.
