RIP Pauline Collins. Such a warm, twinkly actor yet her characters were always with authenticity, truth and a bit of steel...😢😢😢

RIP the incredible Nabil Shaban. An amazing actor, a gent & a star. It was a huge privilege to work with him on Sil and the Devil Seeds of Arodor in 2019. He was a lovely man, kind, generous & a complete professional. Condolences to his wife Marcela, his family, friends and colleagues. 💔😥

This is a lie.

There are many criticisms you might sensibly and truthfully make of the Sentencing Council and the Sentencing Guidelines. I’ve been making them for years.

But this is an outright lie. Pure fabrication. A fraud on the public.

Farage lies. He lies to fool people into believing his anti-migrant agenda.

His lies should be publicly called out. He should be held accountable in parliament as an MP his spreading of misinformation has consequences.

He is dangerous. His lies must be fact checked and called out publicly.
Farage falsely accuses eastern European migrants of eating swans from London parks
The Royal Parks charity quickly clarified that there was ‘no evidence’ of swans being killed and eaten

Fab night
at #WyndhamsTheatre for the 1st preview of #BornwithTeeth. It was FANTASTIC! #NcutiGatwa & Edward Bluemel sizzle with electric energy which really sparks & fizzes in a flirtatious ballet between the two wordsmiths. The dialogue is sharp, funny, rude & clever. Go see it!😊
