I don't even watch it, but he was such an obnoxious little cunt, and you just know that what we heard in there was just the tip of the iceberg of his rancid opinions.

Tonight has been the #HarehillsLabourClub AGM. And as will be a surprise to no one at all that knows me; I've put myself forward to be on the committee 😂
Sometimes I try and stop myself; sometimes I know there's no point in even trying to stop myself 😂😂

Pre-titles section of first ep of 2nd season of #Juice, and it's feels like #MawaanRizwan said: "I've got a second season and I'm going to do what the fuck I like. "
I'm so in love with it! Going to binge the whole thing!!!

I had a brilliant meeting with #EmmaMcCormack (and wonderful to meet #EmilyMcCormack too!) at #LighthouseStudios yesterday.
Its propensity to be a real community hub is virtually limitless. A great addition to Bradford's arts and culture scene!

Very much looking forwards to seeing #AaronSorkin's adaptation of #HarperLee's seminal work #ToKillAMockingBird tonight at #LeedsPlayhouse.
Best wishes to all the cast, crew, and team for this evening's press night!

Had what feels like a long day on zoom attending my first @writersguildgb.bsky.social AGM. Definitely the right decision to cancel my gym membership so that I could afford to join. It's hard out there, which makes being in a union even more important. Hoping to start getting a bit more involved 😀

At a conference in Bradford today for working class people/orgs working in theatre. It's time our voices were heard cos it would be nice if work was given to us rather than those pretending to be us; unfortunately most of the industry can't tell the difference.
