🚨 NEW: the decline in arts education at A-level has reached a new low.
Our analysis of today's results finds that arts subjects now account for a smaller proportion of A-level entries than at any time since 2010.
Over that period, there's been a 31% drop. #ArtsEducationMatters

"Chancellors pay themselves telephone-number salaries while undertaking madcap schemes and paying academic staff peanuts. Time to reconnect with reality."
Sums it up, really.

"I think it's even a problem that we're living in a society that we need to ask why the arts matter."
Repost if you agree with concert Pianist @IsataKm, who got right to the heart of the matter at #TheStateoftheArts report launch last month!

Terrible news for our campaign. Julie Elliot was very staunch in her affirmation that the NGC was no good from the beginning. #savethenationalgasscentre

My statement on tonight’s events in Sunderland:
ALT Image showing text which says: The scenes in our city centre tonight are shocking. We have seen unforgivable violence and thuggery. The criminals involved in this appalling disorder must be identified, prosecuted, and punished with the full force of the law. Sunderland is better than this and these thugs do not represent our city.

The people of Sunderland are warm, welcoming, hard working and proud.
Thugs and rioters will never win.
They’ll never be allowed to define Sunderland.
Love and pride will always shine through. That’s Sunderland.
Thank you to @northumbriapol for standing between communities and violence.
Thanks @SunderlandUK Council and communities for a HUGE clean up.
Thanks to the people of Sunderland for standing together against hate and division.

I am appalled by the disorder in the centre of Sunderland tonight.
Our city is not represented by a tiny minority causing trouble.
@northumbriapol have my full support as they respond to criminal thuggery and work to protect all the communities of our city.
Tomorrow the people of Sunderland will come together and continue to build the bright future that we have - a future where every community of our city feels safe and prospers.
