Delighted to say that ‘Only One Word for Love’, a short play I’ve co-written with Peter Souter, will air on R4 tomorrow afternoon at 14.15. It stars the wonderful Jessica Raine and Rupert Evans too. We’d all love it if you gave it a listen.

The Teamsters have endorsed Democrats for president since '96. And despite the Dems saving pensions and retirement benefits for 2 million Americans, the Teamsters didn't endorse a candidate this cycle. Now, within a week of taking office, Trump gutted the NLRB. Is this what Sean O'Brien had in mind?

The White House has to "check back" about whether or not they just shut off the program that funds health care for 2 million Arizonans?

I can tell you the answer: Arizona's Medicaid payment portal has been turned off.

This is absurd.

Medicaid portals are reportedly down across the country after a Trump order.

This jeopardizes health care for tens of millions of Americans.

Julie Gray, wife of Holocaust survivor Gidon Lev, who joined Musk in his visit to Auschwitz speaks out. She says that Musk felt nothing during the tour & only "cared about how he looked."

She shared this with me privately shortly after the tour, and I'm grateful she made her thoughts public.
I see people posting that Elon was at Auschwitz this time last year - therefore, his recent "gesture" is not antisemitic. I was there, too. Last year. With Elon. I am embarrassed that I have photos of this on my phone. My love, Gidon Lev, was the "special guest" of this photo-op event. We thought, at the time, that it would be good publicity. But I would not share the photo today. I chatted with Elon Musk. I spent hours with him and walked with him through Auschwitz. I stood with him, looking at the nauseating heaps of hair, luggage, and shoes flooded with violet light meant to preserve it. Is Musk an antisemite? People, actually, it's worse - he doesn't care whatsoever. Elon, father of "little X" as he described his freezing cold son to me, literally does not care. He was unmoved by the experience. For Gidon, to be in the place where his father, Ernst, died on a death march - whether shot by the side of the road or having simply collapsed - was a huge deal. Elon did not care. He was about his press junket and his bodyguards. I was ten feet from him as he posed for the cameras of his entourage. He was utterly detached. He cared about how he looked. When he placed a wreath at Auschwitz and Gidon was overlooked, he walked away with the cameras whirring. This is Elon Musk. A sociopath, if ever there was one. To deduce, from this visit, that he is a friend of the Jews is desperately naive.

Natalie Shotter orally raped to death.

The rapist's defence barrister, Peter Glenser KC, said:
"[Mohammed] Lidow (Rapist) had not intended 'serious harm'."

He was given 10 years. For RAPE AND MURDER.
TEN YEARS?

No.

WOMEN ARE NOT YOUR TOYS.
