The UKβs future if we had cut disability benefits according to Badenoch
Is βWe didnβt cut wheelchair user Daveβs PIP and now we canβt bomb Iran π’ β really the take?
Badenoch really seems to be suggesting that the governmentβs failure to cut welfare to vulnerable people is why the UK isnβt bombing Iranβ¦ because it canβt afford itβ¦? #PMQs
I did know and I was extremely nervous π€£
The legend David Bradley, who for all zillenials like myself will be forever Argus Filch (and GoT fans Walder Frey), came to see our play tonight!
Heβs the president at our theatre, The Loft - and he said the play was up there with the best plays heβs seen π₯Ή

Carney's speech at the start of the year remains relevant
Trump set fire to an arrangement which has benefited the US and their interests for decades for ego and self-victimisation - smaller, but important, countries who don't want to be at the mercy of that move in their own interests
And, honestly, part of me is convinced that the whole reason he's gone down this Iran path is because he didn't get Greenland so wants some sort of world-changing, historic moment to mark his presidency
Radio 4 the other night was comparing this moment to the Berlin Wall, I'm sure he'll like that
Would this have happened if Trump hadn't been so combative and disrespectful not just about Europe but about Macron personally? How many times did Trump mock Macron a the podium? Who knows?
But this is just Trump's "diplomacy" paying its inevitable dividends

This is why analysis of Trump's diplomacy as "America First" was always unconvincing to me
Trump knows the price of everything but the value of nothing: allies are important because allies are important - and you can't place an explicit value on that in terms of ones and zeroes
As expected, Rachel Reeves' Spring Statement was a relatively low-key affair β but there was a major elephant in the room in the form of conflict in the Middle East, and the impact it could have on prices at home, writes @nadinebh.bsky.social
You have to admire the audacity of Donald Trump
He spends most of his second term trashing his allies, undermining NATO and complaining about Europeans - then acts victimised when the same allies don't run to his aid and support a war he's just started

Thereβs truly nothing like working really hard on doing a character justice and reviewers saying your performance βbrilliantβ and βunforgettableβ π₯Ή
Such a privilege to be Mrs Muller and part of this production, acting is food for the soul π₯°
Live on Times Radio shortly reviewing tomorrowβs papers ποΈ
These unconfirmed reports of the Ayatollah being are so wild all I can think of is the time he tweeted this
What a time to be alive

7/7 In the same way if you've never had a mental illness that profoundly affects how you are able to live and interact with other human beings, you'll never understand what its like
And none of us without Tourette's can understand what it's like to live with it
All we can do is show compassion
6/7 The trauma I have from bullying in part was racial bullying as little girl
There's a reason why the n word triggers such a visceral - and yes, physical - response
If you're not a ethnic minority and have never been called a slur you'll never, ever understand how it feels
5/7 But mental health disabilities are cruel - whether its what I struggle with, or Tourette's - and they profoundly affect not just your life, but your self worth, your sense of self
This is why I have compassion for both John Davidson and Michael B Jordan and Delroy Lindo
4/7, I go hot and cold, and my mind screams 'YOU'RE TRAPPED, YOU CAN'T ESCAPE'
If you didn't know me, and you saw me on tv or radio, or at a social event, you'd never know
If someone told you I struggle with all this, and you met me and thought I seemed fine, you'd probably not believe them
3/7 A doctor told me the bullying I experienced has created a trauma response in social situations - particularly if someone is even slightly rude - where I end up having a severe fight or flight response
Physically, I get a rush of adrenaline, my stomach churns like I'm on a rollercoaster
2/7 At one point my anxiety was so bad on a train I couldn't get off, and my family members were chasing the train in a car - I was too overwhelmed to move
I find trains/public transport overstimulating and overwhelming generally anyway, and avoid them as much as I can as a result
1/7 Here's an example of a disability affecting a person in a way you wouldn't expect
I have quite severe social anxiety (linked to my ASD/ADHD & trauma) and it affects every aspect of my life (down to answering the phone)
I take medication to help with both my depression &the severe anxiety
The whole thing is so icky, and the actual people affected by what happened are just lost in one of the worst discourses Iβve seen in a long time, made worse by the current social and political climate
Somehow, I donβt think the same people who want to go hell for leather on slashing disability benefits care about Touretteβs syndrome
Somehow, I think theyβre instead relishing the very rare opportunity they can look like theyβre making the moral case by defending someone who used the n word
β¦ use any and every opportunity to attack the community
An involuntary, split second racist tic is not the same as years of antisemitism which was only recently by West claimed as an episode
Youβre not fooling anyone - give up and go home you utter creeps!
