Great to join creative workers in Parliament Square ahead of #PMQs
With no new support for most members of the #Excluded in the Chancellor's statement last week, we must keep fighting for UK theatre & all our creative industries. Failing to act is not an option #PantoParade pic.twitter.com/lqI3tGxaxN - Bell Ribeiro-Addy MP (@BellRibeiroAddy) September 30, 2020

Fabulous demo today with panto dames calling for support from @RishiSunak.
Many in the arts have been completely excluded from UK Government support packages, and can't go back to work due to Coronavirus restrictions. #PantoParade #ExcludedUK pic.twitter.com/FBX9VfPmrP - Alison Thewliss (@alisonthewliss) September 30, 2020
I'm wearing red for @bectu #PantoParade WE ARE VIABLE!!
