Conservatives This is not my priority. My priorities include tackling homelessness, poverty, supporting the NHS, education for all, supporting access to arts for all . . . Don't pin your racist policies on us

I wish it wasn’t the case that celebrity voices carry more weight in our society but I guess they do. And what the Tory government is proposing for refugees is shameful. I want none of it.

Good to see this incredible artist getting his due. If you can get to this show, do. It’s properly great.

Sorry, what? It’s great that the planned cut has been reversed, but that’s all this is. It isn’t an uplift, it leaves Creative Scotland on standstill. Which - as we all know - given rising everything - is actually a cut anyway. Creative Scotland Angus Robertson @neilgraysnp

Creative Scotland could be forced to cut the number of regularly-funded arts organisations by a massive 50%, their Chief Executive has warned.

Really enjoyed Macbeth (an undoing) at the Lyceum this evening. Gorgeous set, incredible performances, really convincing & intriguing (re)writing. Light in the gloom of now. Congratulations & thanks to all involved. Zinnie Harris Tom Piper Davie Greig The Lyceum

This is so important. The proposed cut would be likely to affect over half of the 120 companies and over 5,000 jobs CS funding supports.

Superb

Come and work with us please!

Attending was certainly a highlight of my year. A powerful testament to what art can do and why we need to protect - and fund! - our writers, musicians, theatre makers, artists and culture orgs. In my view.

Festive Closure. Fruitmarket is closed from 24–26.12.22 and on 01.01.23. Otherwise we are open as usual, the Cafe and Bookshop 9am–6pm and the Galleries 11am–6pm.

Common sense surely Steve Barclay ?
