I know Star Wars is technically set in the past but I can't help but feel that George Lucas predicted the future by showing us a stupid trade war and a big fat slimy orange worm that forces itself onto women.
"The women who changed the system so I could be here"
Hannah Spencer pays homage to women who fought for change in her maiden speech during the International Women's Day debate.
Lets' brace ourselves...
Our cost of living is about to rise. Again.
Food.
Petrol.
Mortgages.
Why?
Because Trump needed a distraction from the Epstein files and another opportunity to make himself and his billionaire mates even richer
And the result?
A school full of young girls massacred and one despotic leader replaced by his even more aggrieved son.
I am absolutely LIVID
...and frankly, whatever side you’re on, you should be too.
Happy Birthday to you,
Squashed tomatoes and stew
You do not have to say anything
But it may harm your defence if you do not mention, when questioned, something which you later rely on in court and anything you do say may be given in evidence against yoooooou.
Sorry but making AI cartoons of yourself makes me think you’re a simpleton, you eat custard for dinner with a big wooden spoon, you put the bumpers on when you go bowling, your dream holiday is Dubai x
My favorite part about writing is that first spark of an idea. It can happen at any time, for any reason. The idea for the Opalite music video crash landed into my imagination when I was doing promo for The Life of a Showgirl. I was a guest on one of my favorite shows, @TheGNShow. For those of you who aren’t familiar, it’s a UK late night show where Graham Norton (the insanely charismatic and lovable host) invites a random group of actors, entertainers, musicians, etc to be on his show and we all sit there and chat like it’s a dinner party. They even serve wine. Anyway. I remember thinking I got ridiculously lucky with the group I was paired with. Cillian Murphy, Domhnall Gleeson, Greta Lee, Jodie Turner-Smith, and @LewisCapaldi. All people whose work I’ve admired from afar. When we were all talking during the broadcast, Domhnall made a light hearted joke about wanting to be in one of my music videos. He’s Irish! He was joking! Except that in that moment during the interview, I was instantly struck with an *idea*. And so a week later he received an email script I’d written for the Opalite video, where he was playing the starring role. I had this thought that it would be wild if all of our fellow guests on the Graham Norton show that night, including Graham himself, could be a part of it too. Like a school group project but for adults and it isn’t mandatory. To my delight, everyone from the show made the effort to time travel back to the 90’s with us and help with this video. You might even recognize some friendly faces from The Eras Tour. I got to work with one of my favorite people in the world, Rodrigo Prieto, again! I had more fun than I ever imagined - Made new friends, metaphors, and fashion choices. It was an absolute thrill to create this story and these characters. Shot on film. The Opalite video is out now on Spotify & Apple Music.
