I was thrilled to get a council house after 6 months of waiting – but trolls hated me for calling it my ‘forever home'
Plus, how to do up your council house for cheap PROPER-TY I was thrilled to get a council house after 6 months of waiting – but trolls hated me for calling it my 'forever home' GETTING the keys to a new home is a moment of pure joy, especially for a single mother looking to build a stable future for her kids. But for Mari, a recent move-in quickly turned sour when her happiness was attacked by online trolls. 2 Mari has revealed how she has finally managed to get her own council home Credit: Tiktok/@marikikix After waiting just six months on the council house list, Marika, who goes by @marikikix on TikTok, was over the moon to get a house with a huge garden. In a viral video posted on May 18, she called it a "dream come true" and her "forever home." The video quickly gained over 150,000 views, but not all the comments were positive. The backlash focused on her use of the term "forever home," with many believing a council property shouldn't be considered one. One user wrote: "When people call council houses their 'forever home', what aspiration." Another added: "A council house should never be a 'forever home'," suggesting that the term should be reserved for owned properties. The criticism highlights a common misconception about council housing. Many commenters seemed to believe these homes are "free," which is far from the truth. As one TikTok user pointed out: "I live in a council house that I pay £600 a month for. "I've never claimed benefits in my life. I work two jobs! They are not free, believe me." Trolls say council houses can't look nice but my stunning hallway will prove them wrong Amidst the negativity, other users rushed to Marika's defense. "Why's everyone being so awful in the comments?? They're happy, and that's all that counts!" one person commented. Others, however, focused on the practical side of council housing, with one user asking for advice on how Marika got a place so quickly. A helpful reply noted that "everyone's circumstances are different" and advised speaking directly with a council caseworker. Major council home rule A significant policy shift is on the horizon for council house residents, as the Labour party plans to introduce stringent new restrictions on the Right to Buy scheme. The new rules would exempt newly built council houses from the Right to Buy for a period of 35 years. 2 She showed off her huge garden in the TikTok video Credit: Tiktok/@marikikix This marks a major change to the long-standing government initiative. However, the proposed changes have already drawn criticism. Kevin Hollinrake, the shadow housing secretary, has labelled Deputy Labour Leader Angela Rayner a "hypocrite" for advocating the new restrictions. This is because Rayner herself previously benefited from the Right to Buy scheme. According to The Telegraph, Rayner purchased her former council house in Stockport for £79,000 in 2017, securing a 25% discount. She later sold the property for £48,500 more than her purchase price.

Edinburgh Deaf Festival programmer Nadia Nadarajah: 'Deaf artists belong in the arts — not occasionally, but always'
It's time we normalised deaf creativity, writes Nadia Nadarajah Sign up to our Arts and Culture newsletter, get the latest news and reviews from our specialist arts writers Sign up Thank you for signing up! Did you know with a Digital Subscription to The Scotsman, you can get unlimited access to the website including our premium content, as well as benefiting from fewer ads, loyalty rewards and much more. Learn More Sorry, there seem to be some issues. Please try again later. Submitting... There's a whole world of deaf creativity that many people have yet to encounter. Not because it's hidden, but because it's rarely given space in the mainstream. As a deaf actor, writer, director, and now Creative Programmer of Edinburgh Deaf Festival, I want to help change that. Because our creativity isn't niche; it's vibrant, diverse, and long overdue for recognition. We often hear about 'showcasing' deaf talent, but what we really need is to get to a place where we can normalise it. That means reaching a point where seeing deaf artists on stage, using British Sign Language (BSL), or leading creative projects isn't treated as a novelty, but as part of the norm. It means building a cultural landscape where deaf people are not just included, but expected, welcomed, and celebrated on equal terms. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad That's exactly what we're working towards at Edinburgh Deaf Festival. This August, we return with our biggest programme yet, spanning theatre, drag, comedy, music, storytelling, film, panel discussions and more. All of it centres deaf creatives, with BSL and captioning built in from the start. This isn't a side programme. It is the programme. Creative Programmer of Edinburgh Deaf Festival Nadia Nadarajah | Colin Hattersley / Deaf Action We're proud to host much of the festival at our home on Albany Street in Edinburgh, within the headquarters of Deaf Action. Deaf Action is the charity behind the festival, and this year marks its 190th anniversary. It's the oldest deaf organisation in the world, and that heritage means something. That legacy matters. To be creating work today in a space shaped by generations of deaf activists, artists, and leaders is both a privilege and a responsibility. It reminds us that deaf creativity is not new – it's deeply rooted, and it deserves to be seen, supported, and celebrated. With the support of our partners, we're expanding our reach across the city. We're thrilled to be working with Summerhall, the Edinburgh Art Festival, the Fringe, and others to bring Deaf-led work into more of the capital's cultural spaces. One highlight is Evie Waddell: Ivory Cutlery, performed at Summerhall as part of the Fringe. Evie blends signing, Scots, and music into a powerful and original performance. It's the kind of work that deserves a central place on Scotland's cultural stage. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad It's also important to recognise the progress being made. More venues are offering BSL access, more festivals are including deaf-led work, and there's a growing awareness that inclusion benefits everyone. We applaud the organisations taking meaningful steps. Not just because it's the right thing to do, but because it makes the arts richer, bolder, and more representative. That said, there's still work to be done. Normalising deaf creativity also means rethinking how the arts industry operates. It's about who gets commissioned, who gets funded, who gets seen. And it's about ensuring deaf artists can thrive without constantly having to justify their presence. As part of this year's festival, I've written and directed a new play, Echoes Across Time, which follows three women across different eras, connected by themes of silence, strength and legacy. It's performed in BSL with integrated voiceover and visual storytelling. Not as an afterthought, but as an artistic choice. It's a bilingual, bicultural production designed for deaf and hearing audiences alike. That's part of what normalisation looks like: making space for both languages, both perspectives, in one shared experience. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad When I performed as Cleopatra at Shakespeare's Globe last year, I was reminded how powerful that shared experience can be. Hearing audiences told me that BSL helped them connect with the text emotionally. That they could feel the story more deeply because they could see it. Deaf performance doesn't just add access, it adds value. Of course, none of this happens without support. Just last year, the festival was at risk due to a major funding crisis. Thanks to a strong public response and a three-year investment from Creative Scotland, we're now able to grow, take creative risks, and plan for the future with confidence. That backing helps us make deaf creativity more visible, and more normal. READ MORE: Four Edinburgh Fringe performers on the incredible true life stories behind their shows So how can you help? Come to a show. Bring a friend. Try something unfamiliar. Learn a few signs. Talk about what you enjoyed, not because it was 'inclusive', but because it was brilliant. And if you're in a position to platform or commission artists, ask yourself: are deaf creatives part of your picture? Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad This isn't about being exceptional. It's about being part of the whole. Deaf artists belong in the arts — not occasionally, but always. At Edinburgh Deaf Festival, we're not just showcasing deaf creativity. We're normalising it. And we invite you to be part of that change. Nadia Nadarajah is creative programmer of the Edinburgh Deaf Festival, which runs from 8-17 August. Her own show, Echoes Across Time, is at Deaf Action, 15-17 August, 6.30pm.

Welsh Labour MP Chris Bryant says he was sexually abused by theatre boss as a teenager
Welsh Labour MP Chris Bryant says he was sexually abused by theatre boss as a teenager The Labour minister said he was left feeling like a '16-year-old whore' by Michael Croft, the head of the prestigious National Youth Theatre Labour Minister Chris Bryant has recounted how he was sexually abused by the disgraced founder of the National Youth Theatre (Image: Visionhaus/Getty Images) Sir Chris Bryant has revealed he was sexually abused as a teenager by the founder of the National Youth Theatre, Michael Croft. The Labour minister became emotional during an interview, describing how he felt like a "16-year-old whore" due to the actions of Mr Croft, who was at the helm of the esteemed drama group. In a conversation with the Sunday Times, Sir Chris Bryant recounted that Mr Croft, who died in 1986, would invite him for dinner every evening when he was part of the company in London during the summer of 1978, at the age of 16. One night, said Sir Chris, he returned from the toilet at Mr Croft's residence to find his host, who was four decades older than him, naked apart from a silk robe. The minster said the abuse left him feeling like a "16-year-old whore" (Image: PA) The MP for Rhondda and Ogmore disclosed that Mr Croft then propositioned him for sex, and he felt he had no choice but to comply, reports the Mirror. Ahead of the launch of his book 'A Life And A Half: The Unexpected Making Of A Politician', Sir Chris admitted: "I don't like telling this very much because I've not told it very often. "It was always the same Italian in King's Cross. He would eat and drink, I would eat, then he would theoretically give me a lift home, except I always ended up at his house." For our free daily briefing on the biggest issues facing the nation, sign up to the Wales Matters newsletter here Sir Chris stated that Mr Croft never made another advance towards him, and they remained friends. As an ordained minister, he even agreed to officiate Mr Croft's funeral. However, he expressed anger over the abuse of power and confessed to internalising the shame. "He behaved absolutely appallingly, it's despicable," Sir Chris said. "Michael, in my case, managed to spot somebody who was gay at a time when nearly all homosexuality was illegal - certainly very frowned on - so presumed that people would keep a secret." He revealed that at least one colleague from his National Youth Theatre days was also abused by Mr Croft. The 63-year-old also disclosed he had been sexually assaulted by five male MPs during his time in Westminster, though he has not identified or reported them. "There was no system for doing so and I was frightened it would make me look bad," he explained. He noted that homophobia in Parliament had decreased during his 24 years as an MP. A statement on the National Youth Theatre website said: "We are grateful to Chris Bryant for disclosing to our team the historical abuse he suffered in the company in the 1970s. We are very sorry that this happened to him and to others who have previously shared with us their accounts of historic abuse by the same perpetrator. "As we set out in a public statement on the case in 2017, we stand in solidarity with all victims of abuse and encourage anyone who has experienced abuse, no matter how long ago, to speak to someone and access support. "In this case the perpetrator has been deceased since 1986, but all reports made to us will be dealt with in accordance with our robust and formalised safeguarding policy and practice. "While Chris writes he doesn't feel damaged by what happened, we recognise that being subjected to an abuse of power can have lasting consequences for many, in different ways. "Anyone getting in touch will be listened to and treated with care and respect by trained professionals, in line with our certified trauma-informed practice. "We are grateful to Chris for his support of our organisation today, and acknowledgement of how different a charity we are in 2025 to the one he encountered in the 1970s, with thorough safeguarding practices and policies in place."
