Astonishing that the BBC @BAFTA could use a 2 hr delay to edit out the words Free Palestine & a message of support for migrants by a Black filmmaker as well as a homophobic slur, but a not a racist slur.

That isn’t “neutrality”. It’s selectivity.

Equity Council has voted to appeal last week's Spotlight ruling. Delegates at #TUC2025 have backed us today, concerned about the wider implications the ruling has for workers’ rights across multiple industries.

Equity is a trade union, and our core purpose is to fight for your rights at work and to access work.

I don’t usually get mad about auditions that don’t go my way. But I made an exception for this. #BothNotHalf

In 2025, we are disappointed to learn that productions are still casting just ALL white actors. This is not representative of the current pool, and does not reflect a true representation of our society or our industry.

Our very own @IrvineIqbal describes how we still have a problem with representation in the theatre. 👏

[The Stage @TheStage]

Data may suggest that diversity in on-screen casting is improving, but there remains a serious problem with representation in theatre, says @IrvineIqbal . It's time for less ‘tick-boxing’ and more conditions on public funding 👇 https://t.co/9S9qJ3d77m

“The culture war is upon us with racism perpetrated by right wing politicians, pressure groups and monetising social media manipulators determined to discredit our presence on the UK’s stages and screens” says @DanielYorkLoh at the TUC Black Workers Conference.
