- Why the music industry HAS to change and why it has to change now. A thread. Stick with it!
- Terrifying. The most up-to-date streaming rates adapted for £ and for UK minimum wage. Data from the excellent @thetrichordist. #BrokenRecord
- Get real - the voting-share story is TACTICAL VOTING, not a low Labour share. Seat after seat, calculation made. Tory after Tory excised.
- Delighted and humbled to be selected to be the Labour candidate for Brighton Pavilion. Thanks so much to everyone who helped in the campaign and thanks to Eddie, Lucy and Birgit for showing such solidarity and integrity on the trail. #TG4PAV
- God, the Greens going with the Tories’ bogus ‘super majority’ line is grim. A few hundred thousand votes in the wrong places - LABOUR DOES NOT WIN. You get what you vote for.
- An extraordinary list becomes ever more extraordinary. The signatories to the letter we've sent to @BorisJohnson today. 156 becomes 234. #BrokenRecord
- HUGE NEWS!!!!!! #BrokenRecordStreaming has changed the music industry - but do the economics of music streaming work for everyone? We're launching an inquiry into the economics of music streaming today and want to hear from you. Find out more and submit evidence here: committees.parliament.uk/work/646/econo…
00:00 - It's a job. I often work long hours, typically to deadline and, yeah, I pay tax. The expensively sound-proofed and acoustically-treated room I'm sitting in costs £500/month to rent. I pay other performers (who pay tax) to record with me. It's a job. #SaveTheArts @RishiSunak
- OH MY GOD. The deals between the majors and the streaming services. The thread many of you requested. It gets a bit sticky, tricky and puzzling, but that’s the point.
- My wife is an art teacher. We can do so much better for our teachers and our kids.For 14 years I’ve seen my subject of visual art education marginalised, diminished, crushed.I’ve seen brilliant teachers made redundant or even choose to leave. I’ve watched the power of some academy chains stamping out creative teachers and classroom autonomy. I have had enough.
