Tomorrow sees the start of rehearsals for our production of A Christmas Carol at Leeds Playhouse.
Time to breathe life into an iconic role.
It’s always a mix of vulnerability & excitement when waiting to discover where the journey will take you.
46 yrs an actor & it never changes.🤞

We are all, at best, flawed and fallible but, in marked contrast to others, he is trying, in my opinion, to do what is right and he is constantly battling the media and the extremists on all sides.

Yes, well said. He's made a couple of cock ups like winter fuel, but the good things are not reported on.

So it's it's only me and his mam that feel a bit sorry for Starmer atm 😆 After 14 yrs of Johnson, Sunak, Gove, Dorries & the tory house of horrors, I'm still hoping it all works out 🙏

I think he’s fundamentally a good man. He’s made mistakes but then he’s rectified them. He reminds me a bit of Gordon Brown. More than a bit uncomfortable with the spotlight being PM brings. Flawed but decent.

Yes, that's the description I'm sticking with 👏 👏. I actually think most people don't understand why they think he's sh*t, it's just seeped into them via osmosis from the media/social media.

Yes, it's a nightmare isn't it. You've just got to do what you think is best at the time, I spose. I'm just gutted it's going so badly for Labour 😢

Popularity ratings mean jack sh*t. So Starmer is doing a worse job than Johnson or Truss? Nope. Labour are up against a rabid right-wing media & billionaires like Elon M*sk, who are flooding social media with Reform/anti-Labour propaganda. Unfortunately, it's working. #bbclaurak
