- here's a reminder why she really was a 'national treasure' unlike some who claim to be... what a star (on so many levels!)

Really sad to hear the passing of Glenda Jackson. She was one of our very finest actors. But, more than that, she was one of the very finest MPs we've had, never afraid to tell the truth, or to fight for what was right, regardless of the fairweather vacillations of Labour Party policy.

RIP Glenda Jackson. One of the legends. Politician, activist, actor. She cared. Will be sorely missed. Saw her at The Old Vic playing King Lear. Rest in Power, Glenda. 🙏🏿

RIP. Big respect for politician / actress Glenda Jackson. Unafraid to present responsible, socially conscious, common-sense perspectives with conviction - unlike many dodgy current UK MPs obviously gaining from backdoor deals and spewing whatever life-costing distortions advance their personal greed. Think Sunak giving an interview with meat in the background, supposedly hosting for climate change.

The world needs more like you, Glenda.
