I can speak out because I am privileged, retired & have nothing to lose - bold but not brave.

Tees Valley mayor Lord Houchen boasts that the airport he’s put huge amounts of public money into is back in profit. It isn’t. Latest ⁦@PrivateEyeNews⁩ has details of the fiddling that would make Enron’s accountants blush.

The influence of the Daily Mail on the BBC remains huge..even though the party it supports was slaughtered at the general election. The banal assertions of ‘impartiality’ are not valid while it tamely and fearfully follows up overblown Mail stories:
Robert Saunders@redhistorian

The Daily Mail is foaming at the mouth about Starmer moving a portrait - so the Today Programme just read out the headline & ran a whole feature on it. Can we please stop letting these papers set the news agenda? Let them howl into the void if they must, but don't run after them

There is not a single Black police officer serving in 2 of the UK’s police forces despite diversity pledges. Former Met superintendent says racism in policing has returned to a pre-Stephen Lawrence inquiry era & that Black people won’t join ‘toxic culture’ mirror.co.uk/news/uk-news/s…

James Graham makes a very valid point. A lot more should be done to help working class and poor kids into drama, film and TV. I note that "late passes" for the Edinburgh TV Festival cost £1,349, plus 4% booking fee, plus 20% VAT. £1,683: thetvfestival.com/passes/

It’s crucial that Action for Freelancers is not just warm words, it has to mean real structural change to improve freelancers lives. As others have said if this crisis were happening in other industries there would be urgent action @bectu we are determined to make change happen

Actors coming together to learn, develop, collaborate, connect was at the heart of #TheActorsCentre. @7DialsPlayhouse erased it & denied Actors affordable/accessible training in the building bought for them & is now selling the lease. We deserve better - chng.it/X6r6DSZWVj

The removal of affordable accessible actor training from 1aTower St by @7DialsPlayhouse has been a wholly unnecessary & damaging decision. We must all stand together & fight to save the building & 40+ yr legacy. Actors need our training & home returned. chng.it/X6r6DSZWVj
