Brilliant news for all those involved in the Singers, but let's not forget that these proposed cuts and others occur in the context of poorly-judged political decisions. The Govt’s decision to freeze the licence fee makes damaging cuts inevitable. More from @philippachilds 👇

Concerning enough that protesters were being arrested yesterday but also arresting a filmmaker who was recording the protest and who was displaying a @bectu press card is incredibly worrying in a democracy
Yesterday I got arrested whilst filming a @JustStop_Oil supporter holding a banner on the pavement near the coronation route. I'm a filmmaker and had my @bectu press accreditation visible around my neck. Police deemed this to be "conspiracy to commit a public nuisance".
Nothing screams ‘community celebration’ more than the repressive state apparatus telling us that anyone who ‘undermines’ the ruling class will be ‘robustly’ dealt with
Our tolerance for any disruption, whether through protest or otherwise, will be low. We will deal robustly with anyone intent on undermining this celebration. 🧵🔽
