@HBSchulte Me too!

@HBSchulte I wish this had come out before I handed in my phd. We will have to discuss this when we next see each other! :)

@Douglas_Eacho Can’t wait to read this!

@Csvich will do! once I have recovered :-)

@Csvich Caridad, I was there for the whole 24 hours. It was unbelievable. Still reeling from it can we talk about a thing for backpages?

@papercuttheatre Oh I didn’t see you! Was there for the whole thing. It was absolutely breathtaking!

I spent 5.5 hours watching this and it wasn't nearly enough.

I think all shows should have to perform for a solid 24 hours at the very end of their run. I want to see David Tennant get through Macbeth twelve times. I want avant garde durational Mousetrap. I want to watch the cast of @mincemeatlive descend further and further into madness.

And the skill of Ruth Wilson… her power on the stage. We saw an incredible range of emotions and expressions she was able to summon and to work with. We fell in love with her 100 times.

@jensomelunn @youngvictheatre @houseofoz_arts @LIFTfestival This sums up my feelings completely… I wonder how she’s feeling today?!

The Tories kicked off an open consultation (see link below) on reforming retained EU employment law. Deadline: 7 July. Please spread the word! The guidance provided is extremely rose-tinted. I'll highlight some key issues in the rest of this thread. gov.uk/government/con…

1/ Yesterday there was a fascinating session of the @HLHorticulture committee looking at exploitation on the UK's seasonal worker visa scheme. There were some shocking revelations, which you probably missed because it got ZERO press coverage. So here is a 🧵 with some highlights.

@sebjectivisms @LAHP_DTP @QMULsed @brechtfast @_TomSix Congrats! That’s fantastic news!! 🥳🥳🥳

@HBSchulte @QMULsed I’ve been to all of them and happy to chat if of interest

Doubtless you've heard that "we all get the same 24 hours in the day." Of course it's not true: rich people and poor people experience very different demands on their time. 1/
