It was a breath of fresh air to hear UK Culture Secretary Lisa Nandy talking positively about the creative industries on the BBC4 Today programme earlier. Especially when centring education within the narrative.

Yes, action may speak louder than words in the long run, but after 14 years of the Tories talking down creative education, actively dismantling it through their policies, and forcing their classist take on the arts on the nation…
…I can’t understate how refreshing it is to have the creative industries and the arts spoken about so enthusiastically by a government minister.
Yes, things might not be moving fast enough for some, and the current UK administration is far from perfect in many many areas, but in relation to attitudes about the creative industries at least, this is better. Narratives matter!
