My music was due to be performed in a music festival in Romania later this year but today it was kindly explained that it now cannot be included because of a "renewal of anti-semitic sentiment". I am not responsible for Netanyahu - just as I’m not responsible for the crucifixion

How can anyone be as appalling as that orange monstrosity? How can anyone possibly contemplate voting for a creature so obviously motivated purely by greed, narcissism, revenge and hatred, so blatantly crooked and dishonest, let alone millions of people?

If Sunak says £2000 one more time I will kick the telly in

Rishi Sunak’s ultra privileged background does not prevent him from being a decent prime minister. But his inability and reluctance to relate to people from less privileged backgrounds does.

I always felt that Handel’s coronation anthem “Zadok” was a joyful piece but I was clearly wrong - in essence it is evidently meant to convey restraint

This is Lloyd's Choir's #Centenary year! Thanks to the dedicated research of some of our members, we have published a fascinating full colour memoir of our first 100 years. It will be available to buy at our Spring Concert on Thursday 23 March.

Great rehearsal today for our #Centenary Spring concert! The main work, Jacques Cohen's "Creation" is particularly meaningful as it commemorates our former member, Christine Didelot. This flyer explains why she was so special and how this extraordinary music came to be written.

Whilst most MPs are conscientiously doing their jobs, Johnson is on holiday. Then as soon as he thinks there might be something in it for him back he hurries as quick as he can. It amazes me how anyone can follow such a blatantly venal individual let alone millions of people.

Entirely understandable that Liz Truss doesn’t want to change tactics as it’s clearly working so well.

More than 4 years since the Windrush scandal broke, it is truly shameful that just 7% of victims who were detained, deported and denied rights by their government have received compensation. This government is a moral vacuum that urgently needs to be replaced.

1/4: Dear @mrjamesob in answer to your question about Jacob RM the other day, I think the answer is stupid but in a very specific way. Underneath it all he has a conviction so deep that he has never questioned it and is not even aware of it…

3/4: The alternative explanations are either that it is a coincidence that whatever he believes is right always corresponds with what is best for him, or that he is monumentally selfish (a possibility that in any case amounts to the same thing!)…

4/4 He has not considered this because whilst he may be intelligent in some ways, to quote Foot on Thatcher, he has no imagination therefore no compassion. PS big fan of all your broadcasting and writing!
