I had the pleasure of interviewing Miriam Margolyes earlier this week for @bigissue.com. 🎤
The full interview will be out soon, but due to the latest news on Palestine today, I thought I’d share this clip early. 👇
Miriam Margolyes: “I feel it particularly because I’m Jewish”. 💬

I see that the UK gov is now to demand that anyone wishing to come and live in the UK must learn to speak English. I presume that the Spanish government will now follow suit and require all those Brits who wish to live in Spain to learn Spanish - or Catalan, as the case may be. Seems only fair.

Fascinating - I’m genuinely very surprised by how low these percentages are.
The % thinking being white is very important to being British fell to 3% in 2020 having been 10% in 2006
The % in England thinking white important to being English fell to 10% in 2020, was 20% in 2012. Scale of this shift surprises some on the liberal-left & now vocally contested by online right
