this is what privilege looks like, and we shouldn't ignore how much harm looking the other way because things don't affect us directly does. don't be Tom Felton
Tom Felton says the controversy around J.K. Rowling's political views doesn't impact him: "I'm not really that attuned to it...I have not seen anything bring the world together more than Potter. She's responsible for that, so I'm incredibly grateful." #TonyAwards

🏳️⚧️ I attended today’s Trans Solidarity briefing in Parliament.
🗣️ Trans voices must be heard. Their rights are being debated, yet too often they’re left out of the discussion.
🤝 I’m proud to stand with the trans community in the fight for dignity, equality and inclusion.

Trans women have used women’s toilets for decades without issue.
Why are self-proclaimed “feminists” focusing on this made up problem, when there is a real problem of rising male violence in the UK?
They’re not helping women - they’re driving trans people out of public life.

68% of @ShiftersPlay tickets were below £50 and 58% of our audience had never been to an @ATGTICKETS venue before AND we made a profit. Theatre CAN be accessible if you want it to be! Thank you @OlivierAwards for recognising my work. Let's keep taking space. To God be the glory!
