Culture Commons Director @TrevorMacF asks
“We often forget that devolution has a cultural component linked to identity & pride. How might devolution/increased local decision making interact w/ the #creative & #cultural life of different kinds of communities?"
@instituteforgov
Good to be @instituteforgov’s panel on ‘how can #devolution contribute to regional growth in England’
South Yorkshire Mayor @olivercoppard, @JimfromOldham and Sebastian Payne @ukonward discussing increased local decision making
Very relevant to culturecommons.uk/futureoflc…
Creative Workforce Pledge retweeted
An extremely impressive contribution frm @UKLabour’s @ThangamMP An acknowledgement of the policy challenges 10+ yrs of underinvestment leaves us with but a nonetheless clear (joyful!) articulation of the scope & power of #culture & #creativity in a renewed, 21st century UK

Wonderful to hear @ThangamMP talking so thoughtfully about policy & the role of #arts #culture & #creativity in society today
Very much looking forward to engaging the shadow cabinet on our UK-wide open policy development programme:

Solid team of passionate & hardworking parliamentarians here! DCMS subsectors are some of the most important to our national economy + health & wellbeing + identity. But there are many challenges that need to be addressed too. Can’t wait to get stuck in

So encouraging to see @AndyBurnhamGM including #creative industries & #cultural sector routes in the #MBacc thinking
