Rest in Peace Dame Maggie Smith. You will be forever loved and never forgotten.
Thank you for adding your magic touch to every performance you gave the world.
Sending love to your family, friends and fans all over the world.

To my friends across the UK who are understandably scared tonight, remember: the cowards rioting and looting are a tiny, idiotic minority who will wake up tomorrow petrified of the knock on the door that's coming. Sleep well knowing that they won't.
I seem to have upset the @Nigel_Farage fan club - so let me be clear.
This man sows hate, lies and division.
He is a grifter and a conman.
He does not represent the vast majority of Britons.
RT if you agree
P.s. multiculturalism is great.
Nazi salutes, swastika tattoos, defecating in gardens, looting local shops, attacking mosques, chanting fascist slogans, throwing missiles at everyone & setting police stations on fire, but don’t you dare call them “far right
Well, just plain “Nazis” it is then
It's not acceptable to attack police officers and break a woman's jaw.
It's not acceptable to stamp on a man's head as he lies prone on the ground.
Both of these statements can be true at the same time.
“Such criminal behaviour will not be tolerated” you say Tracy?
Um, but it literally *was* tolerated. For hours on end, after the police ran away🤦🏼♀️
Two tier policing was again evident last night. If that was a Tommy Robinson etc organised event, or a group of white working class lads, or heaven forbid, folk clutching England flags or wearing footy shirts, the police approach would have been different and I suspect you know that.
It was horrible to see police getting attacked. Alas when many police have taken the knee to groups which literally believe ACAB, or they drive around in clown cars, or adopt two/tier policing; it can’t be a surprise when police are then disrespected?
Likewise, when minority aggressive groups are allowed to get away with threatening behaviour & hounding people out of their homes/livelihoods while a blind eye is turned, it literally can’t be a surprise when it emboldens other groups to act badly?
Harehills was a mess last night and everyone involved should be utterly ashamed of themselves. It could and should have been stopped sooner😔
A very good day in the USA for women’s sport. Female must be entitled to their own category of sport free from all males to offer fairness, safety & more equality of opportunity.
Today is the NHS’s 76th birthday.
A battered, bruised, close-to-palliative patient, it’s just been thrown a lifeline.
Please save her, @Keir_Starmer, @wesstreeting 🙏
Please help us help our patients & rebuild our NHS 💙💙💙
I am voting to get the Tories out…
For my grandma:
Who died alone of Covid in hospital, separated from her family. Her last words forever lost.
For my Dad:
Who underwent cancer treatment in hospital alone. Putting on a brave face so his family would think he’s okay.
For my NHS colleagues:
Who put their lives at risk to care for Covid patients, armed with only flimsy masks & bin bags for PPE
We died alone, suffered alone, grieved alone….
Whilst the Tories laughed at us & partied
They fucking partied!!
I will never forget & never forgive
Let’s obliterate them in this election!
BREAKING:
Tom Kerridge is the only chef in the country with a two Michelin star pub. He's backing Labour in the General Election.
He tells me:
"As a business leader I understand the point of capitalism... business encouragement and growth, however none of that happens without a work force that's happy, none of that happens if there's a work force that can't get to work, the transportation system's bad, or their kids aren't educated properly, or they can't get to see a doctor... A work force needs to be looked after for any business to thrive."
How refreshing.

As you watch the Aurora this evening, it’s worth reflecting that you’re getting a rare direct glimpse of the power of Nature. Those charged particles causing the atmosphere to glow came from a sunspot complex 17 times the diameter of Earth and traveled across 90 million miles at a million miles an hour. Without our magnetic field to protect us, our atmosphere would have been lost to space long ago. Those colours in the sky are Nature reminding us that we’re very lucky to be here amidst the violence. And perhaps therefore also reminding us not to shite it all up :-)
