Ooh it’s a good -en!

One of my biggest problems with TV - if something is set in a working-class region and the writer is wanting to portray it authentically, a large percentage of the cast should be from there, there should be a duty to employ them! In theatre and radio too!

“It’s an energy that we’re talking about, not just a social status... That energy is so powerful...” Lucy Beaumont & Arts Emergency Make the change!

David__Osland They hold no punches now, this is an election aimed solely at their core voters as they see it, the elderly. Short term ridiculous plans that will leave a generation with no hope.

First you do a year's unpaid national service, then you accumulate £60,000 of student debt, then spend a few decades handing over half your pay packet to a landlord before retiring on the worst state pension in Europe. That's the Tories' 'retail offer' to young voters.

If they say their policies the tories will take them, this isn't the labour party I wanted, I’m disgusted about the no-ceasefire stance but vulnerable children have been criminally let down by the Tories and that’s my main concern. Britain in 2024 is a bad parent.

I think this is my fave episode !! Another one had landed from a different planet into your ears- finally a podcast about lids!

I don’t know one teacher, social worker, nurse, charity worker, councillor, not one friend that is working in a caring profession that doesn’t want a labour govt, despite how much damage has been done and despite wanting Corbyn but getting years of cuts, lies and decline.

This language shouldn’t be accepted and shows the extent - ‘inclusion’.. that the working-class are like something you have to categorise and tempt out and then get a pat on the back - because elite and middle-class is the norm, only it’s not , it just has money to live in London

It is so hard to make sure northern working- class actors are cast, they’re not getting into top drama schools/ seen by top casting agencies/ agents, because, like TV and film the people with power are from mostly privately-educated backgrounds without a connection to the North.

Uh oh I can smell a lanyard-filled-event being organised to get more working class creatives in which will be held an expensive train ride away, require a day off making money to live and be absolutely fucking pointless anyway
