Matthew Perry. 💔 Thank you for helping others.

If anyone tells you that socialism doesn’t work, please remind them that the NHS is a socialist institution and was the best healthcare system in the world until capitalism was allowed to infiltrate and destroy the way it functions.

You have to be a leading lady but you can’t be nominated for best actress. You have to be a strong female director but you can’t be nominated for best director. You have to have a wildly popular dance song but you can’t be nominated for best original song.

Pensions are 'unsustainable', the NHS is 'unsustainable' and now the Post Office is 'unsustainable', or so we are told. They were all entirely sustainable before the private sector starting looting the public sector.

They say 'bring back National Service'. I say bring back secure well-paid jobs, final salary pensions, union rights, properly-funded NHS and social care, free tuition and student grants, affordable rail fares and social housing.

Tory voters… Tell me What goes through your minds when you see this?

Gavin Creel, goodness how lucky we were.

impossible to put this all into words but I feel like Gavin Creel had a huge impact on a specific generation of theatre kids, who admired him growing up and now work in theatre. I think that’s why it feels inevitable that this loss will hit so hard in our community

"We have the ability to change people's minds and hearts - that's what we want to do with theatre. That's what theatre does... period." Gavin Creel - a pure talent that touched so many lives. The theatre world suffers a great loss today. May his memory be a blessing. 🤍

The amount of times I've watched this video over the years. For a dose of dopamine. Thank you Gavin. Thank you. For this and so much more. What a talent. What a human. This loss is horrific.

Gavin Creel. Like everyone, I was obsessed with him. I wanted to be him. If he knew how many times I listened to him on repeat he would have gotten a restraining order. I was in awe of him. And I always will be. Rest in peace Gav.

To think this was one of his last performances. Gavin was having fun doing Mamma Mia.
