Sunak ‘knows it’s hard’ for arts workers

Chancellor Rishi Sunak has expressed sympathy for arts workers, saying he has "unbelievable admiration" for their tenacity.

In an interview with the Sunday Times, Sunak sent a message to those who are close to giving up after nearly two years without job security.

"Stick with it. I know it’s hard, but we will be back watching you before you know it, and you will be bringing joy to so many people’s lives. Don’t give up now. We are behind you."
