Creative Scotland’s multi-year funding decisions delayed by three months until end of January, due to ongoing uncertainty over its own funding, which will hopefully be clarified in Dec budget. Yet more uncertainty for Scotland’s struggling culture sector… More soon @TheStage

From a space for cars to a place for people in one of my favourite client cities, Groningen Netherlands. Another powerful before-and-after transformation 1960s vs 2021. In recent years one of the city’s biggest challenges has been where to put all the parked bikes… seriously.

I keep thinking how 3 little girls were killed & more were hurt & traumatised, & instead of talking about their precious lives, we are being forced to focus on violent entitled white men burning cars & towns, who don’t give a shit about women’s & girls’ safety.

"In our league table of culture spending, the UK is in the relegation zone." Actor, director and Campaign for the Arts trustee Samuel West (@exitthelemming) discussed #TheStateOfTheArts with Tom Sutcliffe (@tds153) on @BBCFrontRow. 🎧 Listen in full: youtube.com/watch?v=WMtcCe…

A truth every artist knows and a crisis for our whole society. "The UK now has one of the lowest levels of public funding for the arts and culture among European nations." theguardian.com/culture/articl…

A few years back I worked on a documentary about the inevitable end of the Marshall Islands. This is the future for countless communities around the world. Capitalism is the prime driver of climate change, and capitalism is neither willing nor able to stop it.

10 years ago today, Eric Garner, 43, was executed by the NYPD. His final words, "I Can't Breathe."

Please remember the climate on 4 July. Parties without serious plans to rapidly & drastically cut the burning of fossil fuels don't deserve your vote. This is by far the biggest national security issue we face. #VoteGreen

Spotted in the wild in Stuttgart - great to see @Mimbre_Acrobats continuing to represent UK outdoor work abroad!

We're heartbroken by the passing of Jackie Hagan, a brilliant northern disabled artist and a true wordsmith. Jackie was one of a kind - raw, vital, quirky, quick, and seemingly invincible. We supported her in her piece, 'This Is Not A Safe Space.' Her unique voice and spirit will be profoundly missed. Rest in peace, Jackie.

Ok, I was wrong. THIS is my favourite chart about the last 14 years of British politics: ft.com/content/1cc501…

With a heavy heart, I tell you that my father, Donald Sutherland, has passed away. I personally think one of the most important actors in the history of film. Never daunted by a role, good, bad or ugly. He loved what he did and did what he loved, and one can never ask for more than that. A life well lived.

Really positive feedback today in Brighton Pavilion for our amazing candidate @sianberry. Brighton knows how much of an impact a Green MP can have, but we can never be complacent, if your local and have some time spare come up and help the campaign!

Köln is Scottish.

Today, the Scottish Parliament passed @GillianMacMSP's Safe Access Zones (Scotland) bill. It brings an end to the intimidation of women seeking abortions or health care experts by establishing 200-metre buffer zones around health care settings.

I don’t speak of this often but listening to Nigel Farage in tonight’s debate I must. My dad was an immigrant. From the moment he arrived in this country he worked hard every day in labouring jobs. My most vivid recollection is of his tired & weary eyes and oil stained overalls when he came home after a 12 hour factory shift. Even then he was able to raise a smile for us. He was kind & gentle & loved my mum with passion. He raised a family of 4 & instilled in each of us a fierce sense of right & wrong & love of country. His proudest day was when he became a British citizen. I recall him with love & affection & pride & carry the lessons he taught me in my heart every day. If it were not for my dad I would not be a lawyer today & in his memory I work hard everyday to make a difference for as many as I can. Immigration is a beautiful thing & don’t let charlatans like Farage tell you otherwise ❤️
