"In 10 years’ time we’re going to turn around and say ‘where are all the artists, where are all the stories, where are all the good ideas?’" @mrdavebyrne, @royalcourt Artistic Director, has called for a “rescue package” to keep young people in the arts. theguardian.com/stage/2024/may…

For years it’s felt that our museums, theatres and arts centres have been underfunded. I look with envy at other regions whose public investment per head is far greater. ‘Nottingham and Derby region 'experiencing dreadful arts underinvestment' thestage.co.uk/news/news/nott…

Here @chiggi hits the🎯 re Local Authorities and culture "It will take money – but tiny amounts by comparison with other areas of government spending, and the benefits will be invaluable for a sense of community and civic pride." theguardian.com/commentisfree/…

We were meant to give a speech at the protest today but obviously won't be anymore. Here it is. It's nothing radical as you can see. Republicanism isn't radical.

I tell you what needs 'curators'... museums, and especially those in the regions of the UK. These orgs, highly valued by their communities have been hollowed out by a decade of Austerity "Britain is a dying nation in need of new curators" Stewart Lee theguardian.com/commentisfree/…

For those that need it, we found the joy @MuseumsAssoc #Museums2022 on a dour day with a horrendous outlook for the country and sector we need to hold onto love. Thanks @SkylarkIX

Whatever happens this morning to English especially London arts organisations, there will be a lot of upset and self-blame where there should be anger. Remember this isn’t the fault of arts leaders or even ACE, it’s 12 years of Tory austerity funding, followed by Nadine Dorries.

"For my parents the Queen symbolised the racism of the country. The fascists who hounded them bathed in the British flag and the crown. I can’t even imagine my father owning a picture of the Queen—other than for the sake of parody." Me for @politico politico.com/news/magazine/…

London is great and all but how many of your museums have ripe blackberries just outside the front door?

This image of a woman shirtless in a sports bra - hugely significant. This is a woman’s body - not for sex or show - just for the sheer joy of what she can do and the power and skill she has. Wonderful. #Lionesses
