Seriously: If you value it, take/fetch it yourself
I’m delighted you’ve done well for yourself. But it is really tough forging a career in the arts if you can’t afford the enormous fees for drama school, if you don’t know anybody who can give you a leg up, if your parents can’t subsidise you for a few years whilst you make your name and if you can’t afford to take on an unpaid internship.
Bryant offers no ideas .. scholarships for talented kids from poorer backgrounds to go to music and drama schools might be an idea.
Another Labour class war rant that's backfired.

I was actually genuinely curious about this as it's had got to the point where I would have said there were merely a few token working class bods in there. I was quite surprised that the number of those shadow cabinet minister from what most would deem 'not typically working class backgrounds' was actually this low. Obviously people's interpretations of what working class or privileged entails varies, but out of 27 ministers listed as being in the cabinet, these are the ones who most may consider non-traditional Labourists.
So just over 81% of Labour's current cabinet come from working class roots and/or are state educated.
Not trying to prove anything, was just sating my curiosity whilst waiting for my cuppa to cool.
