Hey folks. In total honesty my tour is NOT selling well. I’ve sold 30 tickets in a 400 seater in Birmingham, and not much more elsewhere. If you like musical comedy, if you like standup, then please come see my show! And spread the word! The Rachel Parris Songbook tour starts in Nov! Link in bio! 🎶

That’s a hard agree from me. I am genuinely astonished at the number of otherwise sensible commentators who still discuss his latest wild actions as if they’re within the parameters of the normal policy making process.

Hey, News Outlets! How about just ignoring Donald Trump? It will drive him crazy. His parents never gave him enough attention, so he is still a thirsty brat who needs CONSTANT attention. Start the news with "Trump lied again today" and then move on to news about people/things that are interesting.

One of the more-infamous pieces of art created from material sourced from my dad's going-out-of-business #vintage #jewelry parts warehouse in NYC cjssales.com is this Swarovski-encrusted model made for an endocrinologist: The Family Jewels. 😂😂
A metal representation of the male endocrinology system, including kidneys, bladder and genitals, all encrusted with multicolored Swarovski crystals, on a base likewise encrusted with crystals and silver letters spelling out:

THE FAMILY JEWELS

Let’s remember today that Nigel Farage wants to - leave the ECHR - repeal the Equality Act - Strip back workers rights - Lift restrictions on exploitative zero-hours contracts - repeal the Renters’ Rights Act which abolishes “no fault evictions” He is not on your side youtu.be/KxOQRt8PQys?...

If UK media actually explained Nigel Farage’s policies to the public no one would be supporting him
