Amazing mezzo; lapsed violinist and 'cellist; multicoloured hair! Hates cooking, loves eating, clothes and Schubert - not necessarily in that order...

Time for my annual tweet about this stunner of a song by Fauré and this exquisite recording by @megamezzo and @pianomalk. Go listen, and get those melancholic autumnal vibes into your veins. It is pure magic. 🍂🍁🍂🍁🍂🍁 open.spotify.com/track/5r7Tc…

I am lost for words, or at least expletives! How dare the PM keep saying that the people of this country want to move on! Many of us want to rid ourselves of this lying, unprincipled person and restore some accountability and dignity to this office.

As we approach 2nd anniversary of my brothers death, alone, from covid & whose body I helped carry downstairs cos undertaker wouldn’t come into his home & whose funeral I couldn’t attend - because of covid laws, I have not forgotten Boris Johnson & Co were partying

Catharsis = speaking the names of my enslaved forebears in the church where their enslaver is buried and memorialised. Being related to said enslaver made that call to remembrance all the more visceral. Moving forward in hope with St Martin’s, Epsom. #BrathwaiteMemorial

5 of 5. Margaret’s husband, my gggg grandfather Addo Brathwaite, was the ‘property’ of John Brathwaite.
Thank you to St Martin’s for inviting me to share my family’s perspective.
Like Joseph Johnson, pictured below, we have to turn this history upon its head.

Tomorrow I’ll be visiting St Martin’s Church, Epsom to give a talk on The Brathwaite Memorial. Created by John Flaxman RA, the memorial commemorates the enslaver John Brathwaite, who was born in Barbados in 1722 and died in Epsom in 1800.

Why will Lord Lebedev not condemn Putin’s invasion of Ukraine?
And if he won’t, why is he remaining as a Boris Johnson appointee in the House of Lords?

⚡️Zelensky asks the EU for membership.
“We ask the European Union for Ukraine's immediate accession under a new special procedure,” said Zelensky in video address.
Sarah Walker retweeted
Of course I wish we were in the EU for a huge number of reasons but seeing the EU’s response today - not only the sanctions and bans but the generosity of their support - and not being part of it really hurts. That’s the side I want to be on.
