Well done @AlmostStace for organising and hosting. Thank you @proteustheatre for having us! 🤗

🚨 BREAKING: JUST STOP OIL PAINT CHARLES DARWIN'S GRAVE
🔥 This action follows the news on Friday that the world has smashed through the "safe" 1.5 degrees of warming limit agreed by world leaders.
☠️ 1.5 is dead. What will you do next? https://t.co/2pIZ8Kl0DF
Prof Alexis Jay, chair of public inquiry into child sexual abuse, says further national inquiry into grooming gangs isn’t needed - and would delay action.
“The time has passed for more inquiries, we’ve had enough… We’ve set out the action required, and people should just get on with it, nationally and locally”.
She refuses to discuss Elon Musk but says she’s “very unhappy” about the way that “many people, sometimes in an uninformed way, have waded into the argument”.
She suggests focus on recent days is not on what matters - the victims themselves: “It risks distracting from the issues. I’ve heard very little… that have mentioned children and the appalling and lifelong effects that child sexual abuse can have.”
But she concedes that row may have pushed issue up agenda but “this is definitely not the way I would have chosen it to happen”.

If you’re a Jurassic Park fan & have chance, get thee to the @arcolatheatre before 11th Jan & catch #HoldOntoYourButts. Saw today & it’s about as much fun as you can have w/a Hollywood movie recreated shot-for-shot by two dudes & a foley woman. Laughed our arses off throughout!

Palestinian babies like Silla Al-Faseeh are freezing to death because they’re being forced by Israel to stay in flimsy tents and under tarps in freezing temperatures. What a racist cruel world that has allowed this.
