So gutted I missed it

10 years ago, the legend Tony Benn died. This pic is when he and I were the only two people to turn up at an anti-animal testing event (for Europeans for medical progress that is now Safer Medicines) so we took the opportunity to have our photo taken outside number 10. He was a lovely charming man.

If you're interested, I did an interview with Play on Podcasts, after doing Richard III with them (www.nextchapterpodcasts.com/playonpodcasts), about my career, disability, life etc...xx open.spotify.com/episode/00Er...

Image of some nasty white men and a woman, a Union Jack flag, with a younger Nigel Farage wearing his National front badge, next to their leader, on a march for the ultra right wing National Front, in the 70's or 80's.

What makes you think that? Oh, maybe it's because Nigel Farage was a member and promoter of the National Front, there his is in his flat cap, turned up jeans, and boots.

It’s not too late: the House of Lords can still protect disabled people from this dangerous assisted dying bill | Lucy Webster MPs passed it without sufficient safeguarding. If there is any point to the upper chamber, it is to give the legislation the open debate we need, says political journalist and author Lucy Webster

Today the House of Lords begins its scrutiny of the assisted dying bill

They've got the opportunity to prove their worth by doing a better and more honest job than MPs
