After speaking truth to power I was thrown out of the House of Commons and suspended for calling Boris Johnson a liar.

350 days later he has resigned for being a liar.

I want to thank those who stood by me and supported me when I was disciplined. #itshappening #ByeBoris

Now wash your hair, and fuck off!!!

If I could be arsed, I’d pull bunting out of my vagina to mark 70 years of cervix.

Hat wars in Cabo de Gata with Ursula Martinez

I loved catching Little Soldier's #NothingHappensTwice last night. It's a gloriously irreverent show that has layers + layers of wit, emotion, and philosophical discussion all interwoven. It made me laugh, cry and think which is all i can ask for from a show. Catch it if you can

What is going to run out first? Boris Johnson’s luck or Susie Dent’s list of Old English words for “cunt”?

We're here at South Street Arts Centre for the final countdown to the long awaited tour & we’re really looking forward to being on stage and in front of audiences again.
First shows are Tue 15 & Wed 16 March here in Reading - hope to see some of you there!

Simon Wine Case, the Cabinet Sauvignon Secretary, will no longer investigate whether drinks parties were held at Downing Street. 🍷🥂 #sec #demisec #NoLongerSec

The bad news is that Mum fell and broke her hip. And the good news is that all my work got COVID cancelled 🥴 so I was able to to jump on a plane. You take what you can. #LookOnTheBrightSide #mum #COVID #work #life #love

Chatting to Mum on the phone. ‘Yes Sir, I Can Boogie’ is blaring out on the TV. It’s an old fave. We sing along and afterwards Mum says: it’s marvellous being alive… we can sing, we can watch TV, we can chat on the phone. There’s not much u can do when you’re dead.’ #SoTrue

Mum forgets where I live. We FaceTimed yesterday.
Mum: r u in bed?
Me: yes.
Mum: & where is your bed?
Me: why not just ask me where I am?
Mum: coz it’s more fun to ask where your bed is.
Me: my bed’s in London.
Mum: ah, I know where u are. I’m clever.

A man shoots 2 people dead at a protest and is acquitted. You feel so outraged that you want to protest ….. against the system that defends the shooting of people at a protest! 😩 #thesystemisfucked #americaisfucked #gunsarefucked

Dear Figs in Wigs Congrats on the success of Little Wimmin. You break the rules with precision & playfulness and you push the boundaries in a way that inspires new possibilities of experimentation, even if Beth dying was a rather literal & unimaginative telling of the story!! 😉😘

I’m in America and it’s very interesting how news about the UK is reported without the bias of British newspapers or the nervousness of the BBC. Britain’s petrol crisis is a direct consequence of Brexit - this is just an accepted fact everywhere (except where it’s happening).

I love it when things fuck up coz of Brexit..like petrol shortages..or the idea of no chicken at Christmas. It’s like ‘schadenfreude’ but taken further, coz it includes your own misfortune as well. Is there a word for that?

Making and (trying to) touring work this last two years have been a real learning curve. Here is a video of us chatting to our producer and director about it all.

It's in the church, the pub, the park, the railway arch, the architects, the community centre, the horses paddock, the courtyard, the back of a truck and the hole in the wall

Instagram just took this photo down because it breaches guidelines of decency, or sexual content……can’t remember the exact wording. FFS!!!!!! This photo is full of JOY!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Patriarchy and the policing of women’s bodies is EVERYWHERE.
