Since becoming an MP, Nigel Farage has managed to fit in nine trips to the US, has held down twelve jobs, which earned him nearly £1million, but has been too busy to hold any surgeries for people in Clacton who actually voted for him.

Really enjoying not watching Eurovision

I just can’t hear TV journalists say ‘President Trump did this or that’ in their calm, measured voices without wanting to scream, ‘He’s not a proper president! He’s a fool and a creep playing at presidency and he’s destroying his own country fast! Why are you not sounding worried or angry?!!!’

If I wanted, my social life could consist entirely of going to my friends’ choirs

@phelpsiesarah.bsky.social just watched Witness for the Prosecution which weirdly I’d missed. Excellent. So painful in a good way. Good to bring more sadness and cruelty out in Christie as her stuff can get tame over time and we’re all weaned on grittiness and grief now.

I’m having trouble with theatre. Keep seeing shows I feel I’ve seen (or made) years ago. Or they’re posturing, or tricksy or cliched. And they’re so expensive, and the makers are so full of themselves, and reviewers (much younger than me?) love them, and I’m feeling tired and bored and old.
