Yesterday was the tenth anniversary of — a whole decade since — my finest moment. I made 180 pensioners, and nine cast members, all scream at once

And what a total joy to meet and chat to Tilda Swinton afterwards, too ❤️
Tilda Swinton’s performance in Man to Man is nothing short of a miracle: a truly extraordinary feat of acting, repeated 39 years after she first performed it. A genuinely astounding performance: do anything you can to see it!

Can’t stop thinking about her performance; it must be years since I last instantly leapt to my feet the second the lights came up at a curtain call like I did last night

Former chair of Labour Friends of Israel Lord Walney, also known as John Woodcock, avoided our questions about who funds the group. He called Declassified 'weird' for covering Israel-Palestine, despite it being one of the biggest foreign policy stories in the UK, and a central focus of this new Labour government. Woodcock resigned from the Labour party in 2018 amid sexual harassment allegations which he denies. Head over to Declassifieduk.org to read more from us

When Gypsy with Imelda Staunton closed in November 2015
Still hard to believe she's gone. The weirdness of a country without her. The reality of it is hitting now in a way it didn't the last couple of weeks.

We need the latecomers and food & drink policies — the latter also included a ban on ice in drinks taken into the auditorium — for 2017’s sensational Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf? with Imelda Staunton at every show, honestly
Imelda Staunton must have (quite rightly) put her foot down about this: no food or latecomers allowed during Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf!

What a treat to hear the exceptional Aigul Akhmetshina’s gorgeous, velvety voice — the true definition of ‘mellifluous’ — in such an intimate setting tonight at the Guildhall’s concert hall. An absolute pleasure — and the day after getting her British citizenship, too!

(Though I *wish* she’d sung, even only as an encore, Jerome Kern’s gorgeous ‘Bill’ from Show Boat, which suits her voice and would have suited the programme wonderfully)

The front page of @ScotNational tomorrow is what every UK newspaper front page should look like. But, as throughout the entirety of the genocide, it stands alone with a moral backbone, not afraid to tell the truth about the horrors the rest of the press whitewash.

The government is quietly engineering a lethal trap for disabled people, and they are disguising it as "welfare reform." ​Abolishing the Work Capability Assessment (WCA) to make PIP the single, exclusive gateway for health-related Universal Credit by 2028/29 is not a policy tweak. It is a calculated, malicious act of state cruelty designed to eradicate the safety net entirely. ​Look at the sheer scale of the cliff-edge being manufactured: There are currently over 1.1 million people receiving LCW, LCWRA, or ESA who do not have the Daily Living component of PIP. Crucially, nearly half a million (469,920) of those exact claimants have already been dragged through a humiliating PIP assessment and failed it. ​PIP and the WCA measure two entirely different realities. PIP assesses if you need financial help to wash, dress, or navigate your home etc. The WCA assesses if your health legally prevents you from holding down a job. ​By aggressively insisting PIP serves as the solitary threshold for both benefits, the DWP is maliciously deciding that over a million profoundly sick, neurodivergent, and disabled citizens are suddenly "fit for work" by default. ​Let us be absolutely clear about what this actually means: ​1. Total Financial Blackout: People enduring severe, fluctuating chronic illnesses, neurodivergence, or disabling mental health crises who fail the notoriously rigged, adversarial PIP process will have their health-related uplifts instantly severed. ​2. Punitive Harassment: Stripped of their protected status, hundreds of thousands of sick people will be violently shoved into standard Universal Credit conditionality. Imagine being in a rolling, debilitating physical crash, and being legally mandated to spend 35 hours a week job hunting and attending arbitrary Jobcentre interrogations. ​3. Weaponised Starvation: When our bodies inevitably give out, and we fail to meet their impossible, ableist demands, the DWP will sanction us. They will freeze our basic subsistence allowance and starve us out. ​4. State-Sanctioned Deaths: Let’s stop sugarcoating the reality of these policies. We already know the devastating, blood-stained correlation between aggressive DWP conditionality, financial starvation, and suicides. Forcing deeply vulnerable people through this punitive meat grinder will directly cause severe psychological collapse and a catastrophic, preventable loss of life. ​Advocacy groups are already warning that over 900,000 people will be hit by this exact "double whammy" of losing both benefits simultaneously. And this is those who are currently in power. ​This is not about "getting Britain working." This is about wiping disabled people off the ledger by starving us into submission or into the grave. ​We are not your scapegoats, and we are not expendable. ​#ChangingTheNarrative #PunchDownMedia #TakingThePip
I know the Work Capability Assessment is horrendous But what Labour plan to do is *much worse* Their plan is to "decouple financial support from capability to work" Their plan will mean 100,000s who would qualify now as too ill or disabled to work will be deemed "fit for work"

My only commentary about Taylor Swifts new extra music is she is around the same age that Madonna gave us the “Ray of Light” album. Do with this information what you will.

Margaret, a 94-year-old Jewish human rights lawyer, is believed to be the oldest person taking part today. She told @novaramedia: “I am here because I want Andy Burnham to lift the ban - not later, right now, this weekend - to call it a genocide & stop arming Israel.”
