Absolutely. Letting the arts do the work that should be government funded while cutting grants to the arts including teaching the arts in schools and universities. Short sighted is an understatement.

You know what I’d call for if I was prime minister - more funding of youth clubs , extracurricular activities, and mental health support - but showing a film looks like concern while costing very little

The most recent study into PIP fraud found that it doesn't happen at all. There's actually a zero rating for fraud. Compare that to, say, serving as a cabinet minister.
