Thanks, but personally I'd rather pay the one-off £60 and forgo the snake oil surveillance system which will have a huge impact on this entire country.

Somebody can afford to buy a house?

In the last few years we've seen: - The plot to kidnap Gretchen Whitmer - The Storming of the Capitol and pipe bombs left at the RNC and DNC - The break-in to kidnap Nancy Pelosi and the brutal on Paul Pelosi - Multiple assassination attempts against Trump - The assassination of Minnesota House Speaker Melissa Hortman and her husband and the shooting of on State Senator John Hoffman and his wife - Luigi Mangione's assassination of Brian Thompson - The assassination of Charlie Kirk Political violence is contagious. It is spreading. It is not confined to one side or belief system. It should terrify us all. The foundation of a free society is the ability to participate in it without fear of violence. Political violence is always an attack against us all. You have to be so blind not to see that.

Today’s judgment from the High Court - which dismissed Equity’s challenge to Spotlight’s fees - is disappointing for our 50,000 members. Those members will perhaps be most surprised by the finding by the judge, Her Honourable Justice Howells, that Spotlight “does not provide services for the purposes of finding persons employment with employers, or of supplying employers with persons for employment by them.” The common sense understanding of Spotlight’s purpose is to provide services for the purposes of finding persons employment; any actor will tell you that they subscribe to Spotlight to find work. The judgment states that Spotlight is “a marketing tool to promote the identity and skill set of the performer”, which, if correct, would leave the traditional assertion that they are the ‘home of casting’ in doubt. Casting is our industry’s term for the exchange and supply of labour for performing in productions, and this judgment finds that Spotlight’s role in that is, at best, incidental. Equally worrying are the implications for working people across the UK, who may now be left unprotected from up front charges by similar platforms elsewhere in the growing gig economy. Equity has a number of considerations following the ruling.  The legal merits of appeal on the basis of the current legislation and regulations are under active consideration by our legal team. We have already made contact with the wider trades union movement and the Labour government today, both of whom were waiting on this judgment to consider their collective response. Equity Council meets next Tuesday, and a further update to members following their deliberations will follow. We must also put on record our thanks to the claimants in this case, and to all the members who are backing this David versus Goliath campaign. It is incumbent on the union to be brave in challenging abuses of power in the industry where we see it, and this disappointing initial ruling will not deter us from continuing to take the fight to our industry’s gatekeepers. equity.org.uk/news/2025/equi…

This just in.... Spotlight: 'The Home of Casting'... is not actually for casting people?! This is disgusting. equity.org.uk/news/2025/equi…

Acting people… or anyone really… recommendations for excellent singing teachers. Preferably west London?

I cannot stop laughing every time I try imto say this title out loud

looking at my mince spreadsheet and turns out my first @Seanannigans91 charlie show was 10th may 2022 and the last one was 10th may 2025 😭🦎

Freelancers are in urgent need of protection from AI technologies, insufficient pay and a decline in work post-Covid lockdowns, according to a new report by @WeAreCreativeUK 👇 #Echobox=1742818717" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">thestage.co.uk/news/news/more…

I miss ten years ago when people in theatreland would talk about Imelda Staunton in Gypsy like she was a footballer. 'Incredible performance from Staunton. Absolute Masterclass.'

Only now have I realised the significance of the time on the Mincemeat set clock 🤯🤯🤯

@VinnyOsborne Sure if I can put up with you I can put up with anything 😘

@Seanannigans91 You worked with me. That’s more than enough

I couldn't afford to go to drama school. There are other ways of training. You never stop training. ❤️

Dear Bill takes a much weirder and mildly sinister turn if you think about the fact that, in the world of the show, Hester is singing it to a cement wall in a dark corner of an underground bunker.

I swear when I timed it that speech was going to be 2 and a half minutes!

ACTION: CUT THE RENT! #RentControlsNow! Rising rents destroy our communities. The government is more interested in building expensive flats than stopping the rent hikes. Tenants in Europe are taking action and winning. Now, we must take to the streets to demand housing justice!

The latest addition to the newt bro mafia. A massive congrats to the legendary @PeachJonty . What a hero you are brother ❤❤❤
