across the UK
3.Provide additional funding to public service broadcasters to finance the development and production of independent British film
4.Abolish the Universal Credit Minimum Income Floor
to better support self-employed performing artists

🔈 A message for Equity members
We share the frustration of many members at new @SpotlightUK tiered membership.
We recommend no @EquityUK member takes out ‘Premier membership’ until we understand the reasons for the change, & Council has discussed casting policy this November.
