Desperate stuff

Also, surely, as well as leaving Labour with a scorched ruin of a country, they are burning down their own party. Who’s going to vote for some chinless free-market nonentity when Gove, Leadsom et al are admitting the last 14 years are indefensible and the election is lost

Excuse my French but what a bunch of fucking amoral cowards these quitting Tories are. Trash the country and run away rather than face the voters. The real snowflakes

REVIEW: ⭐⭐⭐⭐
Romeo & Juliet: Tom Holland makes an amazing return to theatre ✍️ Nick Curtis standard.co.uk/culture/theatr…

Quite right too

Here Duke of York's Theatre for Romeo and Juliet and it’s safe to say #TomHolland draws a crowd. Cumberbatch et al were never like this. Review tomorrow on standard.co.uk and Standard Culture

Vote Labour Thursday 4 July.

More change

Forgive me for this, but if you were too young last time round, my first book Things Can Only Get Better was a popular memoir about surviving 18 years of Tory government right up until Labour won a stunning election victory and you might enjoy it right now amzn.eu/d/57FZGJr

i'm interested in speaking to playwrights who feel demeaned and depressed by the spate of stage productions based on existing IP - tv shows, films, etc. if that's you, my DMs are open for you to slide on into! #journorequest
