Thanks Hinton magazine for this interview about The Flowers of Srebrenica! Have you booked your tickets? www.hintonmagazine.com/post/30th-an...

Two weeks to go to The flowers of Srebrenica! It's been an honour to adapt @aidanhehir.bsky.social beautiful book. Come see it!

If you believe our society isn't immune from violence and we should all unite and remember what happens when we allow the worst of humanity to prevail come to see this show. It had audiences in tears throughout the Balkans. But it's not just about the past. It's about the present

This is what Farage wants in the UK and most of his mates on @lbc.co.uk would cheer. History will look at all of them like we look at the SS...

The richest man on earth owns X. The second richest man on earth is about to be a major owner of TikTok. The third richest man owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp. The fourth richest man owns The Washington Post. See the problem here?

Migrants in Theatre doesn’t have an account (yet) on bluesky but this is the latest statement to put together. We are all concerned with what’s going on in this country and need the solidarity of our peers from the theatre industry. Feel free to follow us on Instagram.

Join us this autumn in London, Oslo and Pisa for a series of panel discussions curated as part of @legalalienstheatre.bsky.social production of Flowers of Srebrenica. Dates and more info at: www.newtidesplatform.org/srebrenica-p...

Nigel Farage looks uncomfortable as Jamie Raskin uses his opening statement to absolutely demolish him

"Zach, how can you address the fact that 80% of the UKs politics and media coverage is driven by one man's obsession over a cohort that only comprises of 0.0005% of the UKs population" UK is fucked.

His answer was hugely impressive and it’s what Labour could have said years ago .

Press/MSM, especially BBC, has found it impossible to accept that their one-time mates, the Tories, lost GE last year. They now have a new "hero," Farage, of course, and have "decreed" that he will be PM, asap. Labour must be hammered daily, and other progressive parties, eg Greens, swatted away.

Question to Zach Polanski at the leadership announcement: "Q: How can you take on Nigel Farage when your policy on immigration is so different?" Everything wrong with British politics and media summed up so succinctly in a single absolutely unhinged question.

And the U.K. is still planning to roll out the red carpet for this deranged troll right?

When the world is torn apart by the nasty forces of division and hate, theatre can be a force for cohesion and empathy.

Reform UK, which has a grand total of four MPs, was just given an uninterrupted platform for an hour and a half on the BBC and Sky News channels, in order to talk about its plans for mass deportations When was the last time the Greens (with four MPs) or the Lib Dems (with 72) were given the same?

The way the Trump administration has tried to make an example of a very ordinary person, Kilmar Abrego Garcia, basically for embarrassing them politically, is unprecedented and terrifying.

One must understand that when they say crime, they mean race. When they say, "voter fraud" they mean race. Wnen they say poverty, they mean race. Same with housing policy, inner cities and education. Everyone must understand that. HE does. Even him.

Convicted for 17 indecent assaults of women - www.bbc.co.uk/news/article... But he's not a migrant, so will RW folks be bothered?

www.theguardian.com/politics/202... Thank Heavens for the voice of sense and restraint -personified by Richard Hermer! If Labour don’t heed his advice and keep out of this war, they’ll be finished and Lib Dem’s, Greens and nationalist parties will take all the voters from the centre and the left.

“Farage adviser said UK would be better off if it had not fought Nazi Germany. Exclusive: Jack Anderton says UK may ‘regain’ former colonies in future.” www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

“Any work of art is one half of a conversation between two humans” Absolutely - this goes for theatre, music, dance, visual art… everything!

The rich irony of this anti-foreigner "ban" by Parkgate Aspen management is that the freehold owner of Canary Riverside estate is Yiannis Christodoulou, who came to the UK as a REFUGEE from Cyprus, has been repeatedly sued for estate mismanagement & lives in tax exile as a "non-dom" in Monaco!👀💰

This is what @teamlabouruk.bsky.social posted on meta today. LABOUR. Where to even start? The Reform-like announcement? The childish au revoir which would be puerile even for a teenager on work experience?The utter desperation to look tough?This is beyond shameful. It's a party that has lost control

Why would anyone join a game show based on European geography and culture without having any knowledge of it? "I can win! Yeah I know nothing about France speak no foreign languages have no clue where Geneva is but hey..." #destinationx

For thousands of years, we have been parasitised, exploited and destroyed by elites. Our survival depends on overthrowing them. Fascinating article by @dpcarrington.bsky.social www.theguardian.com/environment/...

A middle aged woman boards the train, puts on music on her phone, takes out sushi and proceeds to have lunch with music at full blast like she's in her lounge. When did we as a society decide public spaces are not to be civilly shared but dominated as if the world was background in everyone's film?

Another day, another reason not to vote for Labour ever again

For UK creatives, Opportunity Tuesday - compiled by the lovely Linda Blomfield - is always worth checking out. Paid opportunities. 💸

REVEALED: we identified the operator of an overtly racist X account, "GlomarResponder," as ICE Assistant Chief Counsel James Rodden, based on an overwhelming number of biographical details matched through publicly available documents, other social media activity, and courtroom observation.

So Labour have introduced a new Section 28, they have a leader who channels Enoch Powell, and they still have a few loyalists insisting that we simply *must* vote for them at the next GE to "stop Reform." No. I won't allow these bastards put a gun to my head.

As someone who came here as an immigrant, I can’t tell you how jarring it is to see this anti immigration narrative flooding our politics every single day, people will say they don’t mean you, it doesn’t matter, it’s disgusting

oh absolutely fuck these moral fucking cowards

This is what happens when neoliberal meritocratic technocracy hollows out democracy and leaves social media to fill the vacuum with outrage, distortion, and division.

When one of your work chat contains the post "it’ll make me feel better to know we have a plan for that machine gun” and your job isn't in the army or law enforcement... 🤣

They really should remove the World Cup from the USA and let Canada and Mexico do it all. Spread the message if you agree.

"Through investment and things like scholarships, media, music and cultural efforts, you just think, we’re asleep at the wheel." As the UK Government concludes its spending review, advisers warn of a funding crisis in key cultural and educational institutions. www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025...
