.@Addedtimeclub x @GloriousBanners at @BACKLITgallery: charting our club's history and return to the Premier League, and celebrating the community that football brings us.
Truly one of the most spectacular exhibitions I've ever been to ❤️🌳

Fashion guru, DJ, LGBTQ+ icon, boss laydeh and star of her own TV show, it could be said that @CharityShopSue is Nottingham’s biggest export. Having first graced our screens a decade ago, we thought it time to catch up and talk shop

So thrilled that @lisanandy is the new Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport @DCMS. Lisa delivered sessions @BACKLITgallery in early 2020 with women’s groups discussing the future of arts in the UK. Great to see her now in this post. #Labour

From rugby league to Royal Opera, our cultural and sporting heritage runs through our towns, villages and cities and is one of our country’s greatest assets.
It is an unbelievable privilege to take on the role of Secretary of State @DCMS . The hard work begins today.

The women I speak with on the doorstep tell me integrity matters to them.
They want better public services including schools & our NHS.
They want support for their businesses and better opportunities locally.
I’m proud that my campaign is powered by so many amazing women.

Sneinton’s @BACKLITgallery plays such an important role in widening access to the arts and giving platforms to emerging artists of all backgrounds.
I’m thrilled that it has secured Arts Council funding to redevelop its building. Congratulations! 🎉

Devastated Nottingham Council’s budget cuts have been approved.
The withdrawal of arts grants to charities and arts organisation is so short sighted.
The review of all libraries with the potential of 12 closing is heartbreaking.
Investing in culture = investing in society

Did you see us on the weekend @nottinghamshirelive Post?
We were proud to take your voices to Westminster on Friday, but the work for a fair deal continues.
The cuts have now been confirmed by @mynottingham, and they're going to hurt local people.

Proud to stand united with crucial members of Nottingham’s communities and culture @resolvenotts to hand in a petition to Central Government to say “No to the Nottingham Cuts”. Please keep sharing to signing!
