The UK’s shadow culture secretary Thangam Debbonaire has promised a Labour government will “champion” the creative industries after accusing the incumbent Conservatives of “failing” the sector.
Speaking this morning at the Creative Cities Convention in Bristol, Debbonaire said Labour would treat creative industries as key drivers of economic growth, and delivered a broadside at the Tories’ lack of support for creative education and upskilling, as she laid out her party’s commitments.
“Championing the creative industries is what Labour will do in government,” she said. “Arts and creativity are not optional. They’re essential. The creative industries can and...

The UK Labour Party has set out its plan for the film and TV industries, drawing a dividing line between itself and the ruling Conservatives as it slams the government for “getting themselves all tied up in culture wars of their own making and failing to support a pipeline of talent.”
Delivering her first major set-piece at the Creative Cities Convention, Shadow Culture Secretary Thangam Debbonaire said she will “not be fighting culture wars” but instead will focus on arts and culture being central to Labour’s “Phase One” plan if it gets into office. Her boss, Labour leader Keir Starmer, is plotting “a decade of national renewal in Britain.” The election is expected later this year and Labour is currently sitting around 20 points ahead of the Conservatives in the polls.
Debbonaire set out Labour’s position in thorny areas such as artificial intelligence (AI), the BBC and the ailing freelance workforce.

Channel 4 has bowed to pressure from producers and will slowly start making more shows outside of England, its boss Alex Mahon revealed today.
Producers have been ramping up calls in recent months on the nation’s youth-skewing pubcaster to increase its commitment to make 9% of its shows in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland, which has stood since 2020.
For the first time this morning at the Creative Cities Convention, Mahon said “I think we will try” and boost the 9% quota, satisfying calls from the likes of trade body Pact and various creative industry bodies.
“There have been questions on us to make [the 9% quota] bigger,” Mahon told the Bristol event. “We will try and do more because we need to think more carefully about how we represent people on air. It is time to make that shift to support companies [outside England] more sustainably.”
Mahon was tight-lipped on how much Channel 4 will increase the...
