@HelenaDix Did you not multi task all ladies and throw the Queen in for good measure? Slacker! X

In an unexpected turn of events, last night, at our open dress rehearsal for Flute, I found myself not only singing 1st lady, but also making my Pamina debut by sight singing the entire role side by side with it. Yes. Yes, I did that. Absolutely bonkers.

@JoJoFromJerz It’s breathtaking!

So, Donald Trump invited our foreign adversary to our soil so he could roll out the red carpet for him before letting him ride in his car & deliver remarks to our press in his language only to watch him leave without agreeing to any sort of deal of any kind? Do I have that right?

@EtherTam @catturd2 @realDonaldTrump I worry for posts like this! You truly think this? Trump is only interested in Trump! It’s very plain to see!

The evidence is here black and white and it’s becoming overwhelming clear what @realDonaldTrump is fighting for. Peace and prosperity for all. Isn’t this what we all want? The naysayers are quickly finding themselves in a strange place of actually cheering for more war and the downfall of their own nation. It’s insane to criticize the @POTUS for doing his job well and successfully engaging in diplomacy. You’re telling me you don’t want peace and you want the killing to continue? I am thankful we have @realDonaldTrump now more than ever. Pray for peace. 🕊️ the world thrives when there is strong American leadership 🇺🇸and Trump is the right man for the job.

None of this would be happening without Trump pushing for peace.

@catturd2 Really? How is your delusion?

@NadineDorries @realDonaldTrump @SkyNews @BBCNews Careful who you ally with! Karma is a great thing!

The anti @realDonaldTrump narrative on both @SkyNews and @BBCNews has reached a new low. Truly disgraceful.

@VFleischfresser Such great posts for you! Just set up a programme called Music Pathways as part of my work in the Netherlands! Music - classical vocal music - all singing stuff really! So worth while! ivc.nu

That’s where music comes in.

@RobertJenrick What are you setting yourself up for? Lol

As the sun rose over Dunkirk, I called the French police. Ten hours of tracking had established that a group of migrants were hiding in a cemetery just yards from the beach, waiting to cross the Channel. Surely this was the moment for the authorities to sweep the beach or search the streets to find the migrants and their smugglers? You know, to “smash the gang” I had found. “I will pass it on,” came the first response. I pressed - this was urgent. “The police will probably not come,” the 112 handler said, dismissively. No further details sought. No interest shown. I’d come to northern France to see for myself what is really happening as Channel crossings surge and communities back home bear the intolerable consequences of broken borders. Just me and a cameraman - no French minders, no protection. What I saw in the camps, streets, and beaches was sickening. The reality is worse than I have ever seen. The whole racket is a disgrace, and the French are aiding and abetting it. Take the camp near Loon-Plage: half a mile from tidy villages sits a lawless, dangerous space. Someone was shot dead there last month; stabbings are common. It is strewn with litter, ramshackle tents, and menace. Almost all the migrants are young men. They sit on the ground, scrolling their smartphones, waiting. No police. No officials. Those willing to speak were clear: they are coming to the UK for jobs, housing, benefits, and free healthcare. None said they were fleeing persecution - they are already in France. None had a trade or profession to offer. They will be a huge strain on already struggling UK public services. Some were polite; others threatened violence. One man pressed his face close, telling me to leave. Another began hurling glass bottles - one smashing beside me, another flying past my head. Do you want men like this in your community? I don’t. For saying this, I’ve been called a “xenophobe” on the BBC. But I doubt those levelling that smear have been to this camp, seen those men, and imagined them outside their children’s school gates. This is a national security emergency. And the French? We’ve given them £800m and get dismal theatre in return. They could stop this tomorrow. Instead, they stick two fingers up at Britain - and literally bus illegal migrants towards the beaches. That afternoon, I saw 40–50 migrants with lifejackets, marshalled by smugglers, walking along the railway. They headed to a public bus stop by a supermarket and boarded. Imagine that outside your local shop - lifejackets in hand, plain as day. Authorities know exactly what’s happening, yet facilitate it. We followed the bus into Dunkirk. The migrants walked towards the beach, one even in a wheelchair with a lifejacket on her lap. By nightfall, they were camped beside the cemetery. We checked on them through the undergrowth. A few hundred yards away, Dunkirk beach was empty of police or patrols, despite all the “special equipment” UK taxpayers fund. At dawn, they were gone. Their rubbish littered the ground. Binmen arrived to clean the mess up - but not the migrants. I rushed to the beach, convinced a launch was imminent, and called the police again. Still, nobody came. Sitting there, I felt anger at the French farce and shame at our own weakness. State visits, “landmark deals,” and hundreds of millions wasted. The French stop fewer boats than last year. Two thousand migrants have crossed in the last week alone. It’s all in plain sight. We are told this is “too complex” to fix. It isn’t. Change the law. Leave failed treaties. Deport illegal migrants. We are an island nation for goodness sake - we can end this. And end it we must.

@sophielouisecc Calm down! It’s none of your business - and to mention Trump on the same post speaks volume! Would you be ok seeing Farage’s brown nose with Trump?

@sophielouisecc Why? I guess it’s something else for you to moan about! I guess you object to a man who’s country is at war not wearing a suit?

Our leader should not be hugging a foreign leader like this. I don’t care what country they are from. Embarrassing

@sophielouisecc @jk_rowling Utterly self serving! It’s all ego without care, empathy or policy. Glad you have noticed!

We are surprised because farage has routinely been on the right side of this issue when it has been convenient for him. Now he wants labour votes - he throws women under the bus. But we were right to expect more from him - a lot of us have learnt that he is not a man of principle

Genuinely surprised anyone's shocked by this. Just because huge swathes of the left have revealed themselves to be dripping in misogyny doesn't mean a massive chunk of the right doesn't remain exactly as indifferent to women's rights and issues as it's always been.

Bringing this to the world in September! A global First! Come join us!

When ever I pop I’m here - it is always the same nightmare people shouting the crap as always! Ho hum!

@sophielouisecc @MichaelLCrick So deluded Sophie!

@MichaelLCrick Not everything has to be about Gaza all the time.

Newsnight tone all wrong tonight, all too light-hearted about golf and relations betwen Trump & Starmer. Very little about how the two men can stop the horrors of malnutrition, starvation & death in Gaza.

Up too early and heading to the Netherlands for a few days with my team in the office of the International Vocal Competition - putting the “Theatre in Song”.

@MattilaKarita JD Dunce

Everything that goes around, finally comes around #JDmoron

PARIS - Taxi - Eurostar - LONDON - Tube - HOME - Tube - Heathrow Express - Plane - Taxi - MUNICH - it’s a full day

I have been off of here for a long while - seems it is still the same people shouting! #kinder

@British_Airways Still stood on the plane waiting for the bus - not impressed!

@APWSinger Sorry to hear that, Andrew. The airport handles the underwing operations so we'll make sure this is fed back. Please also accept our sincere apologies for the delay. Si

@British_Airways - today you simply have not got anything right! Late take off from Munich on a remote stand - no staff - arrive 90 minute late - remote stand at T 5 and no bus again! Really - this should have been a simple trip! Get a grip!

@sophielouisecc That’s lame!

On Tuesday, a teenage boy was stabbed to death in Hainault. Then another teenage boy was shot dead in Dagenham. On Sunday, a 38 year old man was stabbed in Bethnal Green. And today in Tottenham another teenage boy has been stabbed. A million Londoners voted for this 😢
