In these difficult times building community, and support for each other, is extremely important. That’s why I’m holding community dances around Vermont.
We just had a great event in Hardwick. People of all ages danced the night away.

Reform UK’s candidate for Enderby & Lubbesthorpe in Leicestershire, Moin Siddiqui isn’t popular.
Turns out he’s been reported on NextDoor because he’s bunked on a bill for a patio. He said he’s not going to pay the bill.

So, uh, fringe housing. Are there any kind and generous people who would fancy putting up a financially precarious, freelance critic for 1-2 weeks? I can confirm I’m extremely quiet and boring, and will keep myself to myself. I can pay a little but not even close to some of the numbers I’m seeing

I'm thrilled some resource is finally being allocated towards early-career artists, but all this PR is omitting the fact that we had been calling for this in Manchester since lockdown. This reads like HOME and ACE suddenly had a great idea - not the case. This is long long overdue.
