Please @ace_national show your commitment to these artists/orgs. If not, don’t talk about ‘relevance’ and then abandon artists the moment an artwork becomes relevant and the protesters come knocking, as you have in the past in these circumstances #ToryHypocrisy @MetalSouthend – at Birmingham, England
Tories threaten to bring the mob: a national campaign framing ‘the work as “a direct far left wing attack on our History, our People and our Democratically Elected Government”. The issue: stating that nuclear weapons are a form of global power and flowers. Dogwhistle fascism

Culture minister Caroline Dineage confirms that as a result of Brexit, musicians and arts touring in the EU "will be required to check domestic immigration and minister rules for each member states in which they wish to tour." That may include a visa or work permit.

It is certainly time for touring artists to be fishermen’s friends - and other small businesses. For years the work artists has become totally alien to most people, but the common enemy provides a unique opportunity – at Birmingham, England
How do I campaign for this to become UK's post #Brexit #nationalanthem? Captures the spirit of the #brexiteer, tone of forthcoming trade talks and our newfound position in the global economic milieux #RemainersWereRight #BrexitReality #EU youtube.com/watch?v=4M34Q9q8…

Im coining the term 'bremorser'. Pissed on his own feet and only regrets it when he realises how it effects him. The sheer hubris of it. fb.watch/2IpzxWMJmy/
So @artists4brexit now that your vote has robbed grassroots touring performers of their livelihoods, would you like to apologise to your fellow artists here? Or is it ok because it doesn’t effect you? shame on you #grassrootsmusic #musicians4EU – at Birmingham, England

Is anyone aware of research that looks at specifically dance livelihoods/working conditions? Precarity, pay etc? Also any anything looking at artists relationship to collectivism (unionisation, co-operatives etc)?@SusanJonesArts @elebelfiore @DrDaveOBrien @etiennelefleur thanks!

Woeful. I might have missed it, have @ace_national released a statement on this?
Devastating news yesterday - with just £2m set to help freelancers from the £1.57bn fund, our members are being left behind. We urgently call on @OliverDowden & @RishiSunak to implement our four pillar plan - add your voice to ours by writing to your MP: bit.ly/3g9Vxa5

Classic. Take job that needs doing, repackage it as a training opportunity, find an org willing to debase the value of creative work, pay only £150 @BhamCityCouncil if this is a training scheme where’s accreditation, documentation, training plan? How about paying a fair wage? – at Birmingham, England
