@Rock_City_Notts my hubby and me are coming to see @Bunnymen on Weds. He first saw them at Rock City on 13 Dec 1980, just after venue opened and just after Crocodiles was released. A 46 year gap between gigs. Anyone else going who was there that night? Anyone got a bigger gap? 🎤

@Rock_City_Notts we’ll be @Bunnymen on Wednesday and it’ll be 46 years since my hubby saw them at same venue on 13 Dec 1980 (just after it opened). Anyone else going who was there that night? Anyone got a bigger gap between gigs?

@Hack4Labour, as your constituent, I’m urging you to support the Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) Bill at key votes on Friday 13 June. Every constituency in Great Britain backs assisted dying, including ours. Vote yes to dignity, compassion and choice. Thank you.

Only 7% of Brits go to private school, yet a @Guardian survey has shown that >1/3rd of leader at Arts Council funded organisations did 😱@lisanandy says ‘if you don’t have [diversity] in the arts … too many people’s stories will be erased’. Let’s hope action / funding follows💷

@Hack4Labour, as your constituent, I urge you to attend the 2nd reading of Kim Leadbeater’s Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) Bill on 29 November and vote for choice. Every constituency in Great Britain backs assisted dying, including ours. It’s time to change the law. Thanks.

Well done to all who got the A Level results they wanted. Sadly this is still likely to be those in private schools (50% A or A*) and Grammar schools (41%) - compared to only 17% in state schools. Lifelong disparity starts here. @bphillipsonMP state schools must do better. #class

Love this by my fave girl crush @SELFESTEEM___ and the gorgeous @Moonsanelly (who rocked Glastonbury this year) selfesteem.love

Commenting in @thetimes (11/8) on her new Netflix series 'The Perfect Couple', TV director Susanne Bier, says 'yes, if you're really wealthy you do get away with a number of things that you really shouldn't.. not just legally, but morally.' Sadly, it was ever thus. #class

The great film Chariots of Fire shows posh runnners competing in the 1924 Paris Olympics. Now, a century later, 1/3 of the GB team are privately educated. Yet 93% of British kids go to state school. @bphillipsonMP @educationgovuk we need a level playing field. Literally. #class

Bravo Anne-Marie Duff for calling out in @SundayTimesApps that theatre ticket prices are 'just not feasible for working class families'. Maybe @lisanandy @DCMS & Bridget Phillips at @educationgovuk can add reintroducing arts to state schools to their 'to do' lists. #CLASS

@SELFESTEEM___ Yes, love it. Video is hot. I kept seeing Moonchild at Glastonbury and was hoping you'd pop up as her guest. Your performance at Woodsies (John Peel Stage) is one of my all time faves.

You heard BIG MAN yet?

Comp schools rule, literally! Let's hope the new Government prioritises education to ensure the chasm between state and private schools closes and that state educated school leavers have access to the same opportunities as their privately educated counterparts. #class

HAPPY BIRTHDAY to Allman Communication - 18 years old this month. If it was a human, it could vote. If you're eligible, then please make sure you use your vote on election day. 🙋‍♂️ 🙋‍♀️ It's your chance to have your say and hopefully, make a difference. #yourvotecounts

@earlymod_lizzie Phew! Come and see us when you're in Notts next season (or before).

It’s going to be ok #nffc #cityground

Watched @NTLive 100th production. Nye at @derbyquad. Great production and excellent initiative. Well done for bringing previously elite, London centric theatre to cinemas and homes throughout the country & abroad. #class

Saw NTLive's NYE, about Aneurin Bevan, who set up the NHS in 1948. He believed politicians must articulate the wants, the frustrations, the aspirations of the masses. Their hearts must be moved by his words, and so his words must be attuned to their realities. If only! #class

Jonathan Pye shares his opinion about Tories, Royals, NHS, Russians, old people, young people, climate change, private schools, state schools & more. His rants are equally hilarious an terrifying. If you want to have a laugh, check out his few remaining tour dates. #jonathanpie

Loved preview screening of 'This Town' in Birmingham Town Hall tonight. Great new series by Steve Knight, writer of Peaky Blinders. It's set in Birmingham in the 1980s - which is when we lived there. Great soundtrack and cool Q&A afterwards too. Starts on BBC1 on 31/3. #thistown

@BookmarkType Well beer tasting was fun of course, but I'm hoping agent hunting is more rewarding in the long term. Although it is thirsty work 🍻

@allmancomms Which experience is/was better?

Great to be at my first London Book Fair. And back at Olympia, London. Last time I was here I was a judge at the British Beer Festival 🍻 Now I'm seeking an agent for my debut novel 📚 #LBF24
