@the-rsc.bsky.social Superb for the RSC & Congratulations to Prasanna Puwanarajah who has won Best Director at this year's UK Theatre Awards for his direction of Twelfth Night. A magnificent production with the wonderful Freema Agyeman as Olivia and Michael Grady-Hall as Feste. Very much deserved.
Excellent comments from Michael Heseltine who believes we must not abandon the shared laws of Europe & cannot afford to forget the lessons of history.
He warned that , extremists are back on the streets using immigration as a scapegoat. The young disagree 80% under 50 think we should be in the EU,
Who coined the phrase 'economic with the truth'?Well Mr Farage time for you to apologise to the British public yet again.
Nigel Farage - "I've never met the Russian ambassador."

I remember the furore about 'spin' during the Blair years. Brexit politicians replaced spin with blatant lies, and they've carried on ever since. It's another element of fascism that has entered our politics.

If he is really preparing for peace why is Benjamin Netanyahu continuing to kill children in bread queues & block aid delivery? Both sides need to commit to peace instead of trying to wipe out the existence of the community they don't happen to belong to.

A peerage can only be removed by an act of parliament. The last time that happened was in 1917.

Our House of Lords is completely unfit for purpose, and the likes of "Lady Mone" can keep her position for life without consequences.

“Nobody who had any part to play in the PPE scandal...should have any role in public life. Baroness Mone should have no role in making & passing the laws we all live under. Her title must be revoked immediately"
Support of the far right is just like the 30s with growth of the extreme right wing in this country.Decent people stopped them .Our multi cultured & cosmoplitan society today is much better so we must not allow the Reform party to prosper or we are doomed morally & financially
Here's a British flag we can proudly fly. It's a reminder of 1945 when the allies crushed fascism. It's a reminder of the evil of fascism and the immense sacrifices that were made to defeat it.

We must never let it return.
Well done Keir Starmer for saying what you did about Farage's comments. It was blatantly racist and frankly having watched his deputy on QT why anybody can consider voting for their Party is beyond me but at the same time scary

Congratulations to the European Ryder Cup team for their victory The USA supporters were awful ( not their team) but can you expect from the 'children' of Trump

@the-rsc.bsky.social Brilliant adaptation by Simon Evans & Debris Stevenson #CyranoDeBergerac
Swan FPN. Adrian Lester outstanding in title role + superb returning RSC actors - Susannah Fielding, Scott Handy, Chris Nayak & Christian Patterson & entire team. "The body is the music is the word".
@the-rsc.bsky.social Absolutely bowled over with #MeasureforMeasure last night (Press Night) Dir. Emily Burns really has nailed it.The finish was remarkeable. Hats off to all and Scottish actor, Isis Hainsworth really gave among the best performances of Isabella I have ever seen. Wonderful ending.
When will people realise that Farage will destroy the UK .He is just a toy dog following a grumpy old man who is based in Washinton but spends most of his time on a golf course. Oh wait a minute Farage does not spend much time at his wife's "home" in Clacton.
THE NHS WRECKER: FARAGE’S DISASTROUS PLAN

Nigel Farage has been warned his bid to deport legal migrants could cripple the NHS and care sectors that rely on them
If Farage is foolishly allowed to form a Government this country will return to the Dark ages. It will be a most unpleasant country and personally destroy my winter years Wake up Britain.

Tell the last one to switch off the light!

And don't even start with "No, they don't mean you, dear!".
That's exactly the country these flagbotherers want. Alone in the hooligans' pen. Not a call to thought in sight!
Farage vows to scrap indefinite leave to remain, placing thousands at risk of deportation
Reform UK plans to force non-citizens to apply for visas with high salary thresholds and no access to NHS services

Switzerland has had a wealth tax for as long as I remember. For everyone, not just the uber wealthy.
It’s really not a big deal.
No one leaves.
Don’t believe the scare stories

Across various private New York Facebook groups viewed by CNN – such as those for residents of the Upper East Side – some users have anonymously discussed potential plans to move out of the city following Zohran Mamdani’s primary win. cnn.it/3IpkOjr
Yes really excellent. Emily Burns and the RSC have a winner. I urge alm to book.
New production of Measure for Measure at the RSC.

Tremendous.
Delighted that Nord Rhein Westphalia in Germany appear to be containing the extremists unlike here where a Tory MP has defected to the garage party.
@the-rsc.bsky.social Wonderful start for #MeasureforMeasure first preview night. Perfect adaption fo the current period Emily Burns has nailed it and the acting was first class.And as stated still in preview. Loved Isabella's farewell scene.
Thank you. Very kind
Yes. One is a party post, the other is a government ministerial post.
Can someone explain to me what is going on? I thought David Lammy had been appointed Dep PM but now I hear there is to be a Dep. Leadership contest. Are these separate posts?
