@stokel @UniofNewcastle Some institutions doing very well though: shout out to Newcastle College University Centre who have covered every blade of grass to keep people as safe as possible.

@MattContactmcr Was there in 99 when we built the new one, then watched it burn: a terrible moment. And now you're here - brilliant job and you will be flying again. All love and luck!

@vonstamp @SaveTyneside @ace_national You could get an overview from the Charities Commission/Companies House

#TynesideCinema has axed its visual arts/artists moving image programme, Projections. They say they can't afford it. Which would be fine, except Projections was fully funded by @ace_national. Guess what? The cinema are still receiving that money, £124,000 a year. Why? #TynesUp

@DehennaDavison And in Bishop Auckland too. Please stop courting racists, Dehenna - it's phenomenally dangerous and naive. The echo chamber you are creating is genuinely unpleasant.

[Belarus Free Theatre @BFreeTheatre]

It’s been almost 48hr since our managing directors #SvetlanaSugako and #NadezhdaBrodskaya as well as actress #DariaAndreyanova have been arrested. We still don’t know where they are, but we know that they were taken out of the city and are kept elsewhere. #Belarus please share

And consider the ways you can support workers groups across the cinema industry as we fight for more equitable conditions.

@SaveTyneside Thank you for your diligent and sensitive approach to these very serious matters. It's horrifying, actually, but your energy in ensuring this is debated is comforting and precise.
