Where to find the words anymore? What to say when Israel continues to behave like this? And no condemnation at all from the UK Government. They carry on business as usual as if Israel aren't carrying out genocides in both Gaza and Lebanon. aje.news/jf7llm

I didn't know Mick, but those who did speak so warmly of him and his work. Xxx

Scottish Labour pledges £30m to top up artists’ income to a living wage

Data meets demagogue. Paul McNamara didn’t let Farage hide behind “leaflet” waffle—just pinned him down with facts. This is what accountability looks like. #r4today

Wes Streeting having the chutzpah to tell the story about the NHS. He doesn't tell the bit about how much he's accepted from private healthcare and the risk our NHS is at under this Labour Government. And most of all, lots of questions about his meetings with Palantir. #BBCQT

excruciatingly embarrassing actually xxxxxx

I love Croydon I have zero doubt that anti-fash will outnumber these pricks but the EMBARRASSMENT of it. The audacity. We sat thru hours of community consultation & steering groups to talk about this building's future. Didn't even contemplate it could come to this.

The next BAC, they promised. Croydon's version of the Southbank. 6 years later we've got a dead building, theatre co's can't afford to put work on, community groups outpriced, but AH! Farage & friends welcome! Oh great ! Actually ! Fairfield Halls wtf www.yourlocalguardian.co.uk/news/2591941...

pov: you've just been mentally and physically and financially ransacked by ur first fringe.

let's not insist that theatre is a training pool for working on screen. I know this is a bad faith read, but it also feels important not to make theatre become TV and film's kid sibling/ training pool to take care of. that lens really narrows the lens of what good and valuable theatre can be.

great actually

As Nigel Farage is now so concerned about the influence of "foreign-born voters" can he finally explain why a Kazakhstan-born billionaire appears to be bankrolling his own political party?

Drop the charges. 🇵🇸

moved by this headline in so many ways. we are probably all more changing and brave than we allow ourselves to know.

Theatre cannot save us. But it can keep something alive that the present order depends on extinguishing: the sense that another way of being together is not only imaginable, but felt. Fight for theatre that does not provide solutions but enacts the possibility that alternatives can be rehearsed.

Catherine O’Hara on why improv is important & how deep it was in her brain -

He is very nearly explicitly saying out loud at a press conference a core vulgar tenet of fascism: we are allowed to kill you if your worldview threatens our power

Once again tapping my sign: ICE exist in the UK 🚨 They have had arrest powers since 2000. This government - not a hypothetical future one - is working harder than ever before to raid homes and businesses.

A month full of friends piled onto sofas, making each other dinner and screaming at the telly. I love our January blues combatting Traitors rituals.

CNN: DHS officials have come to FEMA staff and told them to limit the use of the word ice…they are worried that by posting something like, watch out for the ice, that it's going to become a meme….

in case you're curious about how angry Minnesota is about ICE, it was -20 today

In October, ICE grabbed Maher Tarabishi. He was a 24/7 caregiver for his disabled son Wael. At the time of Maher’s detention, disability advocates warned that taking away Wael’s caregiver put his life at risk. Wael died on Friday at age 30. ICE caused his death. They didn’t get to say goodbye.

Guess How Much I Love You - a brutal wrecking of a show. not sure how anyone is doing post show press night chatter, but I for one recommend downing a free prosecco, walking out bewildered & having a sob on the streets of Chelsea v professional v networking. Idk in what way but I've been rearranged

Photo by Pierre Lavie. Yes this is me. And I threw my Leica. It landed on the bass plate with hardly a scratch. Another Photographer grabbed it along with my phone and I was able to track him later. I was held face down tear gas deployed right in front of me and pepper sprayed directly into the eye.

A Department of Homeland Security whistleblower has released the identities of about 4,500 ICE and Border Patrol employees Tuesday in what has been called potentially the largest agency data breach for the department.

I don't like Bromley its horrible.

Reform told you reducing council tax was easy. They just had to slash Woke policies, and a billion or two would be saved. They wouldn't even need to close care services. They promise you that. And then every single Reform-led council cut care services and increased council tax.

There was a contestant on the Traitors who was a former police detective, who was absolutely determined to convict her chosen target regardless of wider evidence which she was utterly uninterested in, all the while convinced she was a morally unimpeachable public servant, and that's Very Interesting

My response to anything over the next two weeks

Last week, ICE arrested and separated a father and son after a routine check-in. Six-year-old Yuanxin had just enrolled in the first grade at an elementary school in Astoria. Now he's in custody, alone. ICE won't say where. This cruelty serves no one. It must end.

Arts Council England (ACE) has unveiled a new £2 million scheme to support the ambitions of Black, Asian and ethnically diverse theatre makers in the North of England.

Audition alert! To work with @paulavarjack.bsky.social on their show Nine Sixteenths which is going on tour next year. Full details are here: paulavarjack.com/9-16ths/cast...

I'm really grateful for the opportunity to talk about how this show has changed, and changed us, too. Thanks @exeuntmagazine.bsky.social

In today's least surprising news

Today is a day when arts degrees are worthless, but the product of those degrees is so valuable it would kill an entire industry if they were made to pay for it.

Some good news. London is meeting legal limits for toxic NO2 pollution for the first time – almost 200 years earlier than predicted – following the Mayor’s "world leading air pollution policies," City Hall announces. The Ultra Low Emissions Zone - and similar policies - really do work.

The Brits have such a way with words. You know. Those things with letter that help you define and say stuff about things.

I'M SORRY I HAD TO GO - A GIRL ON THE CORRIDOR CAME OUT TO ASK ME TO STOP, I TOLD HER TO GO DOWNSTAIRS BUT SHE SAID THERE WERE PEOPLE THERE TOO - WHICH SHE COULDN'T KNOW BECAUSE SHE'D BEEN UPSTAIRS ALL THE TIME SINCE I REVERSED THE CHARGES; BUT SHE KEPT BANGING ON THE GLASS AT ME

Famously, between the first and the second act of Waiting for Godot, the only difference in the stage set is that a previously bare tree ‘has four or five leaves’. So what’s the main note to self I found in this copy which seems to have belonged to a stage manager called Nigel...?

Israeli forces have raided and demolished the Palestinian seed bank in occupied Hebron, West Bank. They used heavy machinery to destroy the seeds and the equipments required to store them. Israel’s war is against Life itself. More here www.instagram.com/p/DMyWONPujY6
