Can anybody hear No.10? We checked. Most big government announcements are forgotten in a day. The only exception to this rule is Digital ID - which peaked 50 times higher than most other announcements and is still sustaining interest 3 weeks on.

Are the UK's creative industries still internationally competitive? What is the state of UK soft power? Today marks the launch of my major commission with @UAL which answers those questions and provides policies to turn things around, before it is too late. (1/5)

Our creative industries drive growth, top 3 in every sub-sector but slipping. It's time to prioritise them across government, education and business. This report - first in a series of UAL projects linked to creative industries policy - sets out some of the options.
Today we’re publishing a new report by @elizaeaston highlighting the critical role of the UK's Creative Industries as an economic powerhouse. However, the report also identifies challenges that threaten the UK's global leadership in this sector. arts.ac.uk/about-ual/press-o…
