Giving the trumpets a proper workout on a bit of Bononcini yesterday 🎺🎺

Catch us tonight at @wigmore-hall.org.uk, where we’re letting the trumpets loose on the full Italian baroque line-up.

Hope the lads have had their Weetabix this morning 💪

This country is awash with money. The very rich are rich beyond imagination. So when Starmer wants to stay within his arbitrary fiscal rules, who does he decide to take money from? The very rich? No, from people with disabilities who depend on benefits for the bare minimum of a decent life.

My latest post is now out.

I show how Trump's attacks on science and universities are neither random nor new - they fit very precisely into the authoritarian playbook.

This means we can guess what might come next and prepare - and we must!

For my last Observer review I returned to the earliest restaurant I reviewed which is still trading, to reflect on 26 years before moving on. That’s Sharmilee in Leicester, the subject of my 2nd column in 1999. More on my move to the FT shortly.

Over the last few weeks I've become completely incapable of answering the question 'how are you' like a normal human being. I just sort of end up staring emptily at the person. Like, how the fuck do you think I am? I am full of hate and horror and moral purpose. How are you?
