That feeling when you realize you've been deluding yourself for the last three years, that everything you said and thought about Brexit and the "easiest trade deals in history" was wrong, and that this is what you're going to be remembered for.

Post-Brexit trade pact with US may take some time, says Liam Fox

Hans Grüber has fallen, the Muppets have redeemed Michael Caine, we've watched mum's favourite festive film The Holly And The Ivy, and now we're sherried up ready for Carols from Kings on TV. It's beginning to look, sound and taste a lot like Christmas #AtMyMums 🎄🎉🥂🎶

There's not a single album ever released that you couldn't improve by taking one track off it.

It's Schubert's 227th birthday! Every year my admiration for his joyous "Great" C major Symphony grows and however you number it I'm on Cloud 9 whenever I listen. It's done well on record. Here are my four 21st century favourites. What recordings old or new are heavenly to you?

One of the greatest symphonies of all, Mahler's 9th, premiered 112 years ago today. #NowListening to a "pointless, aesthetically bankrupt" (David Hurwitz) period instrument #NewRelease , followed by Claudio Abbado (born #OTD 1933) in Lucerne, hailed by some as the greatest ever.
