A new report by Arts Council England, published today amid much back-slapping, finds that the culture sector grew by 10.4% in 2015 to £11.8 billion, five times as fast as the rest of the economy.

But that was before the Brexit referendum. Every indicator we have seen since then is of slowdown and regression.

Sorry for the dampener, but that’s how it is.
