In his statement on Gaza Trump is demonstrating a new negotiating strategy.  To adopt the mental rigour of a 10 year old.  The UK, and the rest of the world, must stop leaping into the air every time Trump says ‘Jump;. It just feeds his bloated ego. #deluded

Why is the UK not retaliating to Trump’s threat of 25% tariff on steel and aluminium.  This does not show as a clever negotiating ploy but as weakness.  Which encourages Trump to go further.  Get your act together The Labour Party and impose tariffs of our own.

Taking more steps today trying to bring strands together to weave into threads for a new unusual performance event, Unravelling Our Parts.  Slowly coming together. #WritingCommunity #performance

The press are unrelenting in their desire to get Rachel Reeves , Labour Chancellor out of office.  This includes the BBC News (UK) which has for days presented half facts as full facts.  Which equals a lie. #truth

Increasingly I notice how rude representatives of the Trump Presidency are becoming.  All taking their lead from him; rude, arrogant, bombastic, domineering.   #trumpshambles

Today I have a first meeting of the team with whom I’ll work on a potential exciting new theatre project, Unravelling My Parts Through Dreams and Nightmares.  Let’s see if the team like the title.  It may change as we begin to work through material. #WritingCommunity

Superb statement in the House of Commons from Keir Starmer today on Ukraine and defence. It sets out the path to 2.5 and then to 2.6% on defence. And sets out very clearly our position for Trump. Also, it will be of great security for Zelensky. Excellent stuff.
