Superb to see Farage’s opening press conference reduced to a shambles by a series of protestors. Soon there’ll be no-one left in the room.

Just popping back on here to say CAV!

If you look closely at the fourth of these photographs you can see my daughter accidentally thumping @spunshon in the head.

@HelsLongworth I haven’t! Thank you x

You often get Out of Office replies to tour booking emails, but today's the first time I've had one saying the company has gone into administration.

[daniel bye @danielbye]

In other news, I'm booking a tour of Imaginary Friends, so if anyone wants to save me the trouble of emailing them and just book it via DM, slide in.

A venue I first toured to twenty years ago. A lovely venue. Not a badly run one. Ladies and gentlemen, UK arts infrastructure in 2024.

@laurennicolema @daraghcarville @_DanielRyan @LancasterUni @eoghanwalls @LancasterGothic I’m [email protected]. Send me the info and I’ll make sure it gets to the appropriate person.

@daraghcarville @laurennicolema @_DanielRyan @LancasterUni @eoghanwalls @LancasterGothic Happy to help. What do you need?

[daniel bye @danielbye]

This is fun, except - LibDem, left of centre? 🧐

@stewartwpringle @JackMcNamara81 Hooray!

[daniel bye @danielbye]

I thoroughly enjoyed The Bounds at @LiveTheatre. It starts as a fun caper about medieval football; it inflates and inflates like a pig's bladder, swallowing everything til by the end it's about war, nationalism, identity and almost all history since the reformation. Massive (1/2)

Re the Diane Abbott debacle and related disgraces, I surely can’t be the first to coin the nickname Keir Stalin?

[daniel bye @danielbye]

@stewartwpringle @JackMcNamara81 Really good thanks, all the better for seeing your play. My latest will hopefully be in London this time next year; it’d be grand to catch up when I’m about.

[daniel bye @danielbye]

And actually that would probably be his best available strategy.

Half expecting Sunak to come out tomorrow and say fuck it, I can’t be doing with this, we’re not going to bother campaigning.
