@mrmarkodonovan Easy. The role is not for Audra. She doesn’t have the versatility to go from heavy classical training and vocal shape to the role of Mama Rose. She sounds too polished and sane.

[Francesca Albanese, UN Special Rapporteur oPt @FranceskAlbs]

When someone feels entitled to ask any Palestinian to condemn the horrors and crimes of October 7—after decades of brutal occupation, dispossession, massacres after massacres, torture and humiliation—I stop taking them seriously. Moral authority doesn’t come from selective memory.
Also, Piers, if nothing else, out of humility and decorum—and given your country’s historic responsibility—some questions should not be asked.

@rhysrmann Sadly, am generalizing here - I know, most productions in Manchester get rated 4 ✨even when elsewhere they wouldn't even get 2✨ reviews are filled with the same catch phrases and empty adjectives without any insight into theatre or production history.

To be clear:
Today’s judgement does not change the law.Trans people remain protected under the Equality Act, including their right to access services & spaces—unless there is clear evidence that restricting this access is a proportionate means of achieving a legitimate aim.

We mourn Professor Margot Brazier, who died peacefully on 4 March. Margot's work inspired generations of healthcare lawyers and ethicists, and informed health policy for decades. Margot was exceptionally kind, clever, funny and wise. We will miss her so much @law_uom
