@HBSCreativearts @DrFautley Thank you to all the teachers for their incredible dedication. In awe of the faith and patience it takes to fan little flames & nurture young people to grow into their glorious, unique creative selves. It’s always a privilege & a joy to see a little of this process as a parent.

@HBSCreativearts It’s been amazing watching Charlie perform over the years. I can only imagine how much he’ll be missed. Great things ahead for him without a doubt 🤩

This is one of the hardest but also one of the most important warnings from the history of Auschwitz coming for us today. Perpetrators were in fact people who accepted and followed an ideology that made them believe that they were better than others, an ideology that rationalized and promoted hatred & evil. This became part of their everyday lives and their environment. They were not monsters. They were people: fathers and mothers, husbands and wives, sons and daughters. They had their family joys and problems, their favorite desserts or songs, hobbies or fears. They were people like us. But they also perpetrated horrible things, monstrous things on behalf of the ideology they believed in. The perpetrators thought of themselves as moral people. And this is the scary part of this history. This is our human warning.

Delighted to have @alistrathern as our new MP. A competent and principled voice for Hitchin. Raising a glass of Sir Keir Royale to our new government.

Wonder if it’s ever occurred to Rishi Sunak that a lot of people might just prefer a country that works rather than the tax cuts he keeps banging on about #BBCDebate

The money IS there to end child poverty. Tories are relaxed about spending £2.5bn on National Service Scheme. That money could help end two- child benefit cap and lift 1.1million children out of poverty. Plus the economic benefits would be immense. news.sky.com/story/amp/two-…

I’m finally ready to tell the world about my private life. This has taken a lot of courage and a lot of thought. But here we go. shorturl.at/nENOY

@MostlyComedyUK @bechillcomedian Always keen to support you in bringing laughter to us all. We’ve seen Bec a few times and she’s always joyously good. She was so brilliant in Hitchin last month! If there are returns because of the election I’d really encourage anyone in need of a fun night to snap them up!

She is just brilliant of course, but it makes that she will be otherwise engaged injecting some common sense into election night. That said, @bechillcomedian is an absolute comedy power house so nobody will be disappointed! Another brilliant night from @MostlyComedyUK guaranteed.

Omg I can't believe I didn't spot this in the Kate Middleton photo: shorturl.at/nENOY 😲😲😲

Together, we will raise the next generation of creatives and harness the power of the industry to create wealth in every community.

When I was 11, I hopped on a train to London, ending at the Guildhall School of Music. For a working class kid like me, it was transformational. Every child should have access to the subjects they love. Great to set out our plan to make that happen, back at @guildhallschool.

An enjoyable and inspiring day back at my old school, adjudicating the music competition. So much brilliant work from students and staff, great to see state school music thriving here. @HBSCreativearts

Today we celebrate the 30th anniversary of women's ordination to the priesthood. On 12 March 1994, the first 32 women to become priests in the Church of England were ordained at Bristol Cathedral. Join us in giving thanks for women priests and their ministry.

The people we need to be able to show care and human connection to our loved ones will be banned from having the people who in turn care for and sustain them near them. Hard to top this for wrong headed idiocy.

@english_hbs @HBSCreativearts @HbsMfl @HBSLibrary The costumes were sublime / hysterical. Fantastic work all involved - enjoy the last night and thanks so much for a splendid evening. What talent! x

@TPS_musicdept @TPS_Hitchin @HitchinBoys @HitchinGirls @HBSCreativearts They should all feel massively proud of themselves. Huge thanks due to all the incredible music teachers who have encouraged, guided, accompanied and cheered them along to nurture their passion.

Well done to all the @TPS_Hitchin @HitchinBoys @HitchinGirls @HBSCreativearts year 12 students performing at the Rotary music award evening tonight. Last couple of performances then announcements of the winners! You’re all winners tonight in my opinion! LC

Woo hoooo!!!!!

@kit_green @organoke @ORGAN_ised My heroine!! 🤩 She’s FAR too glam for granny squares of course but I thought she might be here for the piles prevention element of the cushion?

@Muddling_On @organoke @ORGAN_ised Ida would absolutely love this. 🤩🤩🤩

Thanks to all involved in Team @organoke for a truly joyous night yesterday that has us all smiling still despite the slightly sore throats. Fitting to finally finish my crochet project as an homage to the amazing Ida Barr @kit_green & @ORGAN_ised today.
