We're at the point where virtually the entire Scottish cultural sector is in open rebellion against the national government for its treatment of the arts, partly because every element of the industry is at now at serious risk on some level. Unreal.

Please listen to us @AngusRobertson @JohnSwinney
Yes funds are going to the Arts but you need to understand that the Open Fund is where it starts. You can't just fund the top end. We know funds aren't limitless, but there has to better solutions here. #NoArtWithoutArtists

We stand with individual Scottish and Scotland-based artists across all art-forms asking The Scottish Government to reinstate the Open Fund for Individual Artists and stop the cuts.

Imagine the shock for those applauding @RishiSunak’s threat to leave the ECHR when they find out it protects
• the right to a fair trial
• freedom of assembly & expression
• the right to participate in free elections
• freedom of religion
• freedom from discrimination
• the right to privacy
• freedom from torture & degrading treatment

To rapturous applause at the Conservatives Manifesto launch @RishiSunak threatens to join Russia & Belarus as the only European countries outside the ECHR
If you oppose that insanity RT this widely to let him know

A truly lovely piece of theatre. Very funny, moving, enlightening, strange (in a very good way!). Beautiful performances by Jonny and Paddy. See it if you can.
