Really insightful two days at BBC Salford for the LDRS convention and awards. Had a blast celebrating a brilliant win for @OSennitt and was very pleased to be shortlisted for the George Makin award - which recognises the work of newbie LDRs like me!
Not only is John Eliot Gardiner performing the exact same programme as his former ensembles, a week earlier, in the same venue - the venue is letting people exchange tickets from the one concert to the other
My London housing horror story, a thread 🧵 Our rented flat has awful leaking which means every time it rains heavily, it rains indoors – making half our flat unliveable If anyone has any general/legal advice on here would be much appreciated The situation last night:
Politics nerdery question: anyone know if Starmer is retaining the title "Minister for the Union"? Invented by Boris Johnson for himself, 2019
This is absolutely mad and all I can think about is that Simpsons line "I wash myself with a rag on a stick" theguardian.com/business/artic…
The Wikipedians are very, very eager en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Starmer_m…
It's half past three, I just had a tea instead of a coffee because I'm confused, but the live blog is still going - and results are coming in fast mancunianmatters.co.uk/election-24/04…
Nearing declaration time in Rochdale - and things are very tense there, apparently. Stay tuned #GeneralElection2024 mancunianmatters.co.uk/election-24/04…
We're going strong on the live blog and our @MM_newsonline reporters are getting some great stuff in mancunianmatters.co.uk/election-24/04…
It's election day tomorrow and we've been busy at MM preparing for the big day (and night)! Our reporters @PDippnall @tbrace03 @WillComish @thomasj_w @RebeccaDrakeYeo will be at counts across Greater Manchester. #GeneralElection2024
Superb work Claudia 👏👏
Some days you zing, some days you get zung🫡 If you told me this time last year when I was scared to ask a question at an empty Stormont presser that I’d be getting roasted by Farage on Sky News in front of the entire British media, I’d ask what you were on, so a wins a win
It looks like the story doing the rounds on classical music twitter in not accurate. Reposting this as a small effort to redress the balance. Please fact-check, folks
I’m a member of staff in this department, and must say, that you have jumped the gun here. We’ve been informed that a consultation is due to take place + that no decision has been made at all. It’s a scary time for arts education in Wales but this post is factually incorrect.
It's election day! Follow our live blog for coverage as Greater Manchester heads to the polls mancunianmatters.co.uk/news/02052024-… #GMelects24
Brilliant work from @jessmsharkey
