Many thanks to @helenhayes_ for all her support!
I coordinated letter to Chair of National Gallery on behalf of @standwithNG27 but haven’t received a substantive response. Shocking that public money was spent defending the indefensible Case is v significant for other gig economy workers in culture sector theguardian.com/artanddesign…

Here are some of the NG27 heading into a very reassuring meeting with our lawyers @incegordondadds and @MilsomChr at @CloistersLaw to discuss the implications of our tribunal Judgement - read how Parliamentarians feel the law should change here: crowdjustice.com/case/nation…
It would be fantastically British to revoke A50, put the kettle on, apologise to our neighbours for all of the fuss and then vow to never speak of this embarrassment again (except when someone gets drunk at Christmas) 🇬🇧 🇪🇺

More sad news about the loss of knowledge and expertise from our museums. We are passionate about using public collections to engage and inspire and we stand with all curators and educators who are affected by funding decisions like this. leicestermercury.co.uk/news/… #museumed

Thank you @OllyGrender for raising this important issue today. We hope in the future #ukemplaw will evolve to allow for better employment practices and protect a diverse workforce no matter their employment status. #changestartshere #museumed #arthistory
