If you didn't see Bally Hoo when it was first broadcast in 2006, you can watch the episodes on @BRB Facebook page here: facebook.com/bhamroyalballet I was in the audience for the final, on stage production. One of the most achingly beautiful performances I have EVER seen. Inspiring.

BALLET HOO IS BACK! But you’ll have to be quick. The @Channel4 documentary series, 'Ballet Hoo! Ballet Changed My Life' is available for a very limited period at the @BRB website: tinyurl.com/y2z8kjg5

If your friends & family outside our industries are being told to go back to work before it is safe to do so then they need to join a trade union right now. Join the one that is already present in the workplace - & if no union already, join the one that’s best for their sector.

Southampton needs saving. The govt can’t let it be the first domino. @EquityUK can’t let this bleak future be the new normal. If elected, I’ve a plan. #EquityGenSec
Nuffield Southampton Theatres has gone into administration due to the Covid-19 crisis, with administrators branding it "a sad day not only for Southampton [...] but for the country’s theatreland in general" bit.ly/3c9Zmdd

Our 8000th tweet and it's an important one! If you are a member struggling financially you can get a grant of up to £350 to help pay rent, bills, even your subs from the @EquityUK Benevolent Fund. Here is @chelle_ashton on her experience #GiveHelpGetHelp equity.org.uk/benfund

Todays Twitter Poll: Will you be better or worse off by the end of lock down than at the start? This will seem a perverse Q to the sadly too many in financial dire straits.Yet for some still working,staying at home, less spending means more saving. I want to understand the split
16%Much worse off
23%Worse off
36%Same roughly
25%Little/lot better off

CONFIRMED: If u left a job after 28 Feb, that old employer can rehire you to furlough u. So if needed ask. We knew this worked for those made redundant, but Treasury's just confirmed to us, this is allowed for those who left voluntarily (eg for a new job). Tell those affected
