I saw this twice over Christmas. It's funny, very slick but still with all the panto chaos you'd expect, and the music is just brilliant - the best I've heard in an actor-muso pantomime 🎵🎶🎷🎸And the Ooglays, esp @rebeccalealevy , were just hilarious #Cinderella @LivEveryPlay

Shame on you @EmmanuelMacron for standing with Hamas!

Today France 🇫🇷 shamefully voted in favor of Security Council proposal calling for immediate ceasefire, i.e., protecting Hamas.

Do you really think supporting Hamas would stop Jihadists from doing the same to your country?

[Tracy-Ann Oberman MBE @TracyAnnO]

@RobertLindsay Robert - Hamas charter calls for genocide of an entire nation? They are the new Nazis to Jews. Did you call that out on October 7th when they brutally raped slaughtered women & children ? War is ugly -all innocent deaths are horrendous but Hamas sadly does not want peace.

@GretaThunberg Greta why are you lying?

Why did the Hamas start a war? why rape girls and women? why massacre, slaughter and loot and then cry that they're losing?

Are you a political activist or a climate activist?

@autcareandshare Even employers claiming to be “disability confident”, using all the right words in job descriptions about neurodiversity, but their whole hiring process is still devised by neurotypicals expecting neurotypical responses and behaviours, so the process disadvantages autistic people

@TraceyR16154277 My first time applying for a job in 30 years I think they need to remember how many autistic people are unemployed why they are unemployed how difficult it is for us to get interviews the journey we have had and just how hard it is for us I feel that was missing

[Autism care and share @autcareandshare]

This is a tweet i feel really  uncomfortable doing but i feel is necessary to raise awareness, I was shared a job interview by a few followers,the job was for a autism expert with lived experience to deliver the oliver mcgowan training, i couldn't believe my eyes, a job i could actually apply for criteria was you have to be autistic I'm autistic! i have lived experience! i've been homeless, i've fought for everything for my autistic son who is autistic and has learning disabilities, I've fought for housing social care, even fought for him to attend further education at the star college here in Cheltenham, I've talked at colleges universities, and have done many interviews, such as raising awareness of the need to prioritise autistic people with learning disabilities for the covid vaccine during covid, but...and here's the kicker, I'm no good at the application process i can read a form, a letter, a document the words that pop out to me will be words that dont fit ,don't belong, I'm great at spotting errors but i may miss other words i certainly did miss words on the application, my best chance was to tick the job interview guarantee box, with my lived experience i expected this to be my best chance of a interview but no i was rejected on grounds that my application didnt meeet the minimum criteria for the role,i had made mistakes on my application, I never expected to get the job, I did bring my difficulties filling out the form  to the attention of the team several times, after sending out a further rejection email, I rang asking for a explanation after a few attempts to contact them they finally responded with the suggestion of a zoom for a chat, which gave me the opportunity to voice my concerns, however i feel they could of simply applied this time to a video application, this certainly would of helped me, I never expected to get the job but I do expect the opportunity to be listened to, to express myself. I haven't done this tweet to attack Paula Mcgowan or the Oliver McGowan Mandatory training however I have done it to make people aware of the failures in the application process for the training, I would add if you ask specifically for autistic people to apply for a position expect them to be autistic by which I mean expect to present  applications and the interview processes differently, you want out of the box thinking, apply out of the box methods, so that you facilitate these thinkers, not doing so I believe defeats the purpose,as autistic people we are often faced with errors and obstacles put in place  by non autistic people,
Until employers change their approach to the application and interview process then how will autistic people ever gain employment and considering what this job ? It it's disappointing.
If anyone has any examp, thoughts, examples, or suggestions of what reasonable adjustments could be put into place, I'd really like to hear them.

Disgraceful reporting from the BBC this morning. Leading with headlines about Israel striking Gaza. Totally ignoring the fact that Hamas broke the ceasefire to begin with and Israel has been under constant attack since then.

[Mike Prince @MPLandscapes]

About a year ago we were presented with some conditions in the Lakes that I never expected to see again. This morning we were treated to almost identical conditions but with a little more mist for me making the exposure and processing a little easier.

[Miranda Bethell @MirandaBethell]

Well said: brutal but cowardly Hamas force civilians to shield them.

@MorleyCarys Sigh. So frustrating but it doesn't surprise me. It sounds like sexism to me but they'll claim it's an innocent mistake ... every time🙄

[Matt Goodwin @GoodwinMJ]

It appears the BBC has just given the world a masterclass in how to spread terrorist misinformation.

[EttyPayne 🇪🇺💙 @EttyPayne1]

@Stpolishook Too many people are terrifyingly ignorant about the abomination that is Hamas.
