If you watch anything today. Watch this. Finally some actual journalism.

Some valid questions from my Dad there. And some answers I want to know!

The Tories just don’t give a flying fuck...and they never will

Hey SE folk! Here is a HMRC link where you can check if you are eligible for a grant. You'll need your UTR, NI number, user ID & password. If you are eligible it gives you a time and date when you can apply. Here's hoping they look after us! x tax.service.gov.uk/self-employmen…

This thoroughly cheered me up this morning. Some quotes from the children playwrites of the wonderful Scene & Heard read by some of our very funny actors! Happy Tuesday everyone and remember...only cheese can leave!

I did not think this government could stoop any lower. Boris Johnson we are tired of your blatant lies and gaslighting of the British public. You, yes you, are supposed to protect all of us... not just the ones you feel like.

"We have to find a way to make sure these marvellous people and organisations are going to survive through all this" Prince Charles issues warning on the arts bbc.in/3ehwSPn

“If we get this moment wrong, these people will drain away from our industry, says Alex clifton , who is calling on urgent assistance for freelancers from the government and the industry. He says he was shocked, saddened and enraged by their situations." theguardian.com/stage/2020/may…

So if you are self-employed the month of June doesn't exist anymore then?! Fine - in the future I'll ask for all invoices to be paid in June then I don't need to declare them! HM Revenue & Customs Rishi Sunak #SEISS

So let me get this right - because Conservatives don't get backhanders from the arts they aren't important?! It seems the entire country will be open in 2 weeks apart from theatres. Our Government has failed on so many levels

Many of these buildings aren’t just theatres. They do so much for the community. So many people are being affected and it makes me so sad...and fu*king furious!

Great news for zoos...but what about funding for live entertainment to provide the care we need whilst our buildings are STILL CLOSED?! Conservatives Steve Barclay

As theatres start to open up & plans are being made I beg all those who make the decisions not to forget us #freelancers. We’ve worked hard for you & will continue to do so. And trust me, we really want to work! Stage Mgt Association Freelancers Make Theatre Work

So taking the governments advice I did the national careers service test to see what I should retrain as. I a current #stagemanager shall be retraining as an #actor 🙄

I know this ad has more to it but it’s such a kick in the teeth to see this go out when our industry is on its knees. People are saying Rishi Sunak should retrain but I can’t think of any job he wouldn’t fu*k up. 😡

One of the many reasons we should support our theatres - they always step up and support their communities. Very proud of this place

Oh Boris. You really are rubbish at your job aren’t you?! 🙄

Today is truly devastating for the live events supply chain. After 15 months with all but no work and inadequate financial support from the Government, this industry is on its knees...

Just got an email saying Kate Sawyer’s novel #TheStranding is being dispatched to me today…got a genuine gasp of excitement!

So this beautiful book from Kate Sawyer arrived! I can’t wait to sit down with a glass of wine and get reading!
