- My brother's amazing painting of Alan Rickman. What a loss ❤️
- Corbyn hasn't lost. We've lost. The once in a lifetime opportunity to elect a decent, honest, kind, brave human being has been rejected. What a monumental loss. The fight goes on but it's got a hell of a lot harder. I doubt we'll get someone fighting for us like Corbyn again.
- Today on BBC1, Lord Sumption said to a woman with stage 4 cancer: 'I didn't say your life wasn't valuable, I said it was less valuable.' I've faced this nonsense all my life - that a person is less worthy if they are physically 'deficient'. Well, Sumption is morally deficient.
- Acting unlawfully as a Minister? No punishment. Protesting against Ministers acting unlawfully? Up to ten years in prison. Welcome to #FascistBritain
- People keep asking me to run as an MP. But I have the same politics as Corbyn. So if I ever got near power, the press would vilify me daily. And most people on doorsteps would say 'I just don't like that Francesca Martinez'. And I would lose. That's how UK democracy works.
- Proud to have signed this with: Noam Chomsky Naomi Klein Yanis Varoufakis Rob Delaney Steve Coogan Alexei Sayle Maxine Peake Lowkey Miriam Margolyes Massive Attack Mike Leigh Michael Rosen Caryl Churchill Mark Ruffalo Mark Rylance:
- Sometimes I think this election isn't a fight between: Tories v Labour. It's a fight between: UK Media v Labour.
- The UK is the 6th richest country. Per year, we spend: £38bn - defence including £2bn on Trident £10.5bn - oil/gas subsidies £5bn - rail subsidies Yet we can't give all our NHS staff masks, goggles, gloves & aprons. The problem isn't money... It's having the wrong priorities.
- So the Coronavirus R rate is now above 1 in London. Perfect time for pubs to open tomorrow...
- Whatever happens today, I want to thank my friend, Jeremy. He has endured countless bullying and attacks yet always remained calm, dignified and positive. A true leader and the most decent man I know. We are lucky to have you. Thanks for giving me hope. Hero. ❤️ #VotingLabour
- About once a day, I think about when Corbyn said: "Let's create a society where we all care for each other." Sometimes, and I'm not ashamed to say this, I cry when thinking about what we've lost. Today, it seems extra difficult not to think about what could have been.
- To my fellow human beings, We keep voting in leaders who are rampantly selfish & dishonest people. And then we're surprised when these selfish, dishonest people act in reckless, destructive & inhumane ways. You want a kinder, fairer world? Vote in kinder, fairer people. FM
