Yesterday Equity's Head of Policy Tom Peters was in Parliament at the CMS select committee calling for changes to make touring easier for UK artists.

Great to see our @equityuk.bsky.social general secretary supporting the Birmingham bin workers. #BirminghamBinStrike #MegaPicket #BrumBinStrike

✊ The #GFTU sends #Solidarity and #VictoryToTheWorkers.
Birmingham City Council suspends all refuse services due to @strikemap.org’s ‘Megapicket 3-D’
Organisers say ‘Megapicket 3-D’ will not be the last unless @bhamcitycouncil.bsky.social backs down on proposed pay cuts. www.ier.org.uk/news/birming...
Every strand of the arts are *already* the preserves of the elite. As I argued last year👇 TV is one of the worst offenders. What no one seems prepared to acknowledge is this is dramatically worsened by there being far less work across the board.

As a working-class boy, it was massively inspirational seeing all the working-class singers, actors, directors, playwrights dancers and artists that were visible and successful.
Now it’s appalling to see the way in which we’ve been shut out almost completely. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...
📢Workers of the world unite
We support the bin strikes📢
Solidarity with every single @unitetheunion.bsky.social #Birmingham bin striker.
Until victory 🏆

📰EQUITY NEWS: Equity has recommended to DCMS that Arts Council England (ACE) introduce a network of national theatres across England.

Nothing rotten in the state of Denmark when it comes to this – just a level-headed policy that gives people ownership over what is rightfully theirs 👏
It’s a huge achievement and something similar here would go a long way to ensure Equity members have the protection they need!

This is terrific news for those who’ve never seen @TheBearFX
and a fascinating new development in the TV landscape in the UK. The key question remains: how can local British stories that don’t sell globally still find funding to be made end up on these platforms too?
