Don’t leave Twitter they say. Don’t give ground to fascists. Thing is, when I was young I was involved in direct action against BNP. Took the fight to them, I never hung about with them in the pub and listened to their shit. I fancy hanging about with pals.

Sure, celebrities might be desperate to boost their ego by grabbing any opportunity to appear on TV but surely it’s a bit harsh to refer to them as Children in Need.

Today @TheScotsman. First thoughts on a response to Trump's stunning victory, inspired by a new play about the amazing Jennie Lee & her life in progressive politics, alongside her husband Nye Bevan. Jennie was born in Lochgelly, Fife, 120 yrs ago this wk. scotsman.com/news/opinion/co…

Why the extraordinary Scot who created Open University can help us respond to Trump’s victory

The values, principles and policies of the late Labour MP Jennie Lee, born in Lochgelly in 1904, should inform left-of-centre thinking about how to defeat politicians like Donald Trump

When an entire audience has a loud & visceral response to the mere mention Margret Thatcher, you know you’re playing to your own folk,people who remember ‘84. Stop trying to get people into your cathedrals of art, take your art to the people. knightstheatre.co.uk/jenniel…
