Being home for the National Theatre's Friday Rush is dangerous. Sometimes tickets just accidentally fall into my basket and then I have to buy them. (Translation: I'm seeing Here We Are again next week.)

"Further casting is to be announced." Oh dear. (This presumably means quite a lot of the National Theatre cast - whose performances were sublime - will not be making the trip across the river.)

“Ideological capture” - a meaningless, made-up phrase designed to sound intimidating to the kind of voter who thinks monster truck rallies are dangerously highbrow.

Kasper moved to the USA because Denmark wasn’t fascist enough for him. Kasper did an oops with his naturalisation paperwork. Kasper’s totally-MAGA wife voted for Trump. Kasper got arrested by ICE and is now in a detention facility.

50 years ago today, when Britain voted to remain in Europe (and not by a small majority but a large one), the Sun, Daily Mail, Telegraph, etc were not owned by three far-right Europhobes.

The public certainly saw through you. They never chose you to be their Prime Minister, and at the first opportunity to vote on your catastrophic bin fire of a premiership they kicked you out of one of the safest Tory seats in Britain. Do stop continually embarrassing yourself. 🥬

Hi, Americans! FYI, no charge: there is no newspaper called 'The London Times'. It's simply The Times. And these days it's barely a newspaper. You're welcome.
