I started this week at Conservative Party Conference where I made a speech celebrating the fantastic achievement of our Creative Industries over the last decade. I described how we were in a Golden Age for British Culture and this had been supported by Government action, from tax reliefs to the Covid Recovery Fund. And at the end of that Conference I hurtled down the M6 to make it back from Manchester to the capital in time for the opening of a great celebration of these Creative Industries – the BFILondon Film Festival.
