To All the #Film_Communities in The World and Who Loves Film and Cinema! I write to you with a broken heart and a deep hope that you can join me in protecting my beautiful people, especially filmmakers from the Taliban. #Share it please, don't be #silent.

There is not a single bench to sit on along King’s Rd. Notice this more now u can’t eat inside. Perching people on bollards & cold metal railings. Imagine if the private squares opened up into the road instead of keeping everyone out..

Now is also the time to do something to support the Self-Employed who have fallen through the gaps but need help. Many in the creative sector need this. Now. @RishiSunak @OliverDowden @AnnelieseDodds @Alison_McGovern @libdemdaisy @JoStevensLabour @Directors_UK @ExcludedUK
We are extending furlough until the end of April 2021. We will continue to pay 80% towards wages of unworked hours - giving businesses and employees across the UK certainty into the New Year. Read more: gov.uk/government/news/chanc… #PlanForJobs

The creative industries are crucial to our economic recovery. I hope the Chancellor provides the sector & its workers the appropriate support to enable it to continue to contribute to the country's economic growth. @Directors_UK @Creative_Fed @RishiSunak @OliverDowden
In today's #spendingreview, it is vital that gov supports the UK's world-leading creative sector. You can read our spending review priorities, shaped by our members, here: creativeindustriesfederation…

Great idea from @Creative_Fed to set up a Freelance Commissioner and Future Workforce Commission. Freelancers desperately need government to understand what a vital role we play in the workplace and how we need protection and support moving forward. – at East Kennett, England
With @NAOorgUK estimating that 3 million people are still falling through the gaps of gov support schemes, we're joining forces to call on gov for a Freelance Commissioner & Future Workforce Commission. Read our letter to @HMTreasury here: creativeindustriesfederation…

Very articulate explanation of the reality being faced by those left out of the government support schemes. These workers and tax payers shouldn’t be left without meaningful support.
"What do they expect these people to live on?" Anneka Hicks the Founder of Excluded UK tells LBC she is "heartbroken" after the Chancellor set out financial support plans to MPs earlier. @EddieMair | @ExcludedUK Read more: l-bc.co/388YJS2

Frustrated. Angry. Desperately sad that the Chancellor isn't even acknowledging that not all excluded from SEISS earn £200,000 & many are struggling to survive. It's simply not acceptable. These are people & families @Directors_UK @RishiSunak @OliverDowden
