Big Love to everyone affected by Grenfell. xx
No 10 has issued a statement asking people NOT to boo. Not quite the same thing as a full backing and it is a statement from No10, not Boris standing there saying it! Maybe he will at a press conference later.... Why do we have such a numpty in No10? Answers on a postcard...
For the last two days I have been reading about Gordon Brown making a difference. Actually on three fronts. Firstly, a minor but significant point about past Prime Ministers. How do they capitalise on their previous stint at No 10? Tony Blair, has made tens of millions as a property magnate and from speeches, David Cameron also a speech millionaire and as we all know from his morally dubious texting stood to make up to 200 million from Greensill Capital, (of course that hasn't quite come off, but we get the picture) and Teresa May, who could hardly do an interview without notes is now commanding up to £100,000 for a speech. (Thanks to The Guardian for all that info).
I got very good news for you yet again... The owners of BritBox, BBC and ITV, have just announced that there's going to be a second season of the Nigel Stangeways novel series written by Nicholas Blake, the nom de plume of poet Cecil Day-Lewis. The British streaming service said the first two episodes of the Jared Harris and Cush Jumbo drama have broken viewing records since premièring last week without giving any actual figures.
Well, I gotta say, that was a pretty successful launch for my long-time baby. I mean I knew it was good in my heart, but hearing others say it is such a relief. I knew we had quality but to see it on screen. All the hard work from all the cast and crew up there for all to see....& judge...
