The articles behind a paywall and I get the impression from other people's posts that the headline is misleading.

It's probably that as well, but I think she's got a point:

All those twats who stopped the Hay Festival getting sponsorship from Baillie Gifford (because *some* of their funds have oil holdings) didn't change BG policy, they just cut off the money to Hay.

Maybe those advocating a boycott should propose an alternative?

Yeah it’s the Sensibles in charge now so they’ve definitely checked it all out dw x

To ba fair, most of this article is actually about funding and money going to places other than London.

Cost of living and also ruddy cuts to arts funding and arts education. I’m so disappointed in Nandy on this, she hasn’t made the slightest effort to educate herself

That's more or less what she says in the article. Whoever wrote the headline has done her and all of us a disservice.

She is so useless. Simply not suited to the job.

Might want to read the article. That headline is a total misrepresentation of what the article says.
