I’ve just been on LBC to talk about the Ed Sheeran Foundations letter calling on the government for £250M of funding and 5-key points. Essentially, I said the letter presents a very good outline of what is needed by the music education sector. See below.

Once again: tomorrow is the deadline for registration as a Democrat in NYC, so as to be able to vote in the mayoral primary on June 24th. There's not a lot we can do in this moment, but please join me in kicking Eric Adams to the curb.
New Yorkers: tomorrow is the last day to register to vote in this year's mayoral primary — don’t count on others to get rid of the corrupt & compromised collaborator Eric Adams, who's mayor because 79% of eligible NYers failed to turn out last time.
Do your part, dammit:

I’m not in the US but this looks pretty serious. Friends in the nonprofit sector take note pls.
if you are paying attention to H.R. 9495, which is the bill that would allow non-profits to be declared terrorist organizations, this is now on the House calendar for tomorrow morning. I think that's earlier than was thought so don't wait to call your rep!
