Hey @Channel4 - why are there no adverts for pianos in the ad breaks of The Piano?

It’s also been of little help in providing apprenticeships for freelance workers. Still, it’s turned out to be a handy stealth tax.. Huge fall in apprenticeships under ‘broken’ levy thetimes.co.uk/article/b63beb…

@DavidSanborn Very sad news. He was an inspiration to me. His playing with David Bowie was sensational. His sound was exceptional.

It is with sad and heavy hearts that we convey to you the loss of internationally renowned, 6 time Grammy Award-winning, saxophonist, David Sanborn. Mr. Sanborn passed Sunday afternoon, May 12th, after an extended battle with prostate cancer with complications.

3 - are they contributing to industry training funds? 4 - are they including their apprenticeship levy payments? 5 - are they supporting any apprentices? 6 - is the 1% based on their UK production and commissioning spend?

🎬 Yesterday, our Chair @cj_dinenage asked @NetflixUK, @primevideouk, @ParamountUK and @NBCUniversal whether they are meeting the @BFI's suggestion that studios should be contributing one percent of their production budgets to training. Find out more 👉 committees.parliament.uk/event/21331/fo…

Here’s a few things for the CMS cttee to watch out for when those replies arrive: 1 - how much of the spend goes on their own staff and how much on freelancers; 2 - do they claim a lot of it is “on the job” training where no extra money is spent? /1

@londonelects Can you explain how the London-wide Assembly votes are counted? The website refers to the use of the d’Hondt formula without explaining how it works in this election. It also says that votes in the Constituency poll are taken into account without explaining how.

There are 2 types of London Assembly member. 14 Members represent London Assembly constituencies. 11 Members represent the whole of London -these seats are allocated so the overall make-up of the Assembly is proportional to how votes are cast. bit.ly/42NSZY7 #LondonVotes

Just curious how North Korea managed to get hold of an Alan Titchmarsh TV show - isn’t there any sort of embargo in place?

NEW🚨| We have written to DCMS Secretary of State @lucyfrazermp on behalf of thousands of film and TV workers who are struggling amid a work drought and industry slowdown. We are asking @DCMS to convene an urgent industry summit and work with us to tackle the crisis.

Sadly, Bectu’s survey published today chimes with everything our members are telling us. This is a time of crisis for the industry. The government must intervene to solve it. I’ve written to the Secretary of State @lucyfrazermp to echo Bectu’s call for an urgent industry summit.
