Today I published a 10-point plan to achieve visa- and permit-free working rights for UK musicians in the EU. The Govt. has failed to take meaningful steps to solve the issues facing music sector. This plan provides a roadmap

Our national figureheads protect a key ally of one of the world's most notorious paedophiles - while driving a woman of colour to the verge of suicide.
Let's finally have the self-confidence to abolish the monarchy - and elect our own head of state.

We are angry and alarmed at reports that our own elected representatives chose to turn down an EU offer of visa-free touring by British musicians, after reassurances that our £101.5bn #CreativeArts and £5.8bn #MusicIndustry were a priority.

Text says: "With the British music business having been devastated by Covid-19 and with no end in sight to the black hole of cancelled concerts, tours, festivals and regular gigs that is the very bedrock of our world-class industry, the news, if true, that our own elected representatives chose to turn down such an offer is nigh-on unbelievable."

Thank god for the musicians, artists and creatives who will comfort, calm and inspire us while we sit this pandemic out at home. We should support them and all self-employed people in this hour of need.
Yesterday's announcement by the Chancellor is not good enough.
Government must provide meaningful support for freelancers like musicians as a matter of urgency.
Take action now > musiciansunion.org.uk/Home/A…

Chancellor Rishi Sunak announced measures to help employed workers.
But freelancers won't get anywhere near an equal level of support.
Government must act now to protect freelancers too.
