Jodie Whittaker has admitted that the role of Doctor Who was more like herself any other part she has ever played. The acclaimed actress, 43, was the first, and so far, only woman to play the titular Time Lord in the BBC sci-fi series before going on to star in prison drama Time, and as Netflix hit Toxic Town, and will soon be seen in the ITV drama Frauds.
The forthcoming show features Jodie alongside former Coronation Street star Suranne Jones, who created the show the show with Anne-Marie O’Connor, as a pair of female fraudsters named Bert and Sam, whose poisonous yet wickedly amusing bond is reignited to execute the ultimate robbery.
However, Jodie, who has switched from her traditional blonde locks to an auburn look this time around, insisted that “unexpectedly” the character she could relate to most was the mysterious doctor, who travels through time and space.

She continued, “It’s intentional, but it’s all that comes with being lucky enough to work.” In that sense, I’ve been sent something, you know, so what a gift.
The fact that Suranne and Anne-Marie see me as that person makes them feel that way. I’m nothing like Sam in real life, because really. And with the difficulty that I have, especially given that Suranne is Northern and has peroxide blonde hair.
What am I doing, I asked myself? I thought, “Oh wow! !” I would always think, “Oh, she’s in the wrong costume,” when the stunt doubles arrived on set. The blonde one is not me, I told myself.
I thought I was lucky because I believed I had been given the task.
“I believe it was done out of curiosity, but only because… Someone will think of me outside of this situation. But strangely, The Doctor is like the most I’ve ever played to myself, in my opinion.
Jodie, who took over the role from Peter Capaldi and was then replaced by Ncuti Gatwa, insisted that she is “more closely” related to her portrayal of the character than anything else, and that she is “more closely” related to it than anything else.
Like, I’d like to say that I’m more in tune with my Doctor than anything else.
“Which is why, like Chris [Chibnall, then-showrunner] cast me in it, is because of the personality I am in between scenes on Broadchurch, he was like, ‘Ah, be that little hyperactive, unfocused human. Anything else, I’m like ‘This is a world away from me!”‘
Frauds airs on ITV1 and ITVX on Sunday, October 5 at 9 p.m.
Jimmy Kimmel, the late-night talk show host, was suspended on September 17 for his remarks regarding Charlie Kirk’s passing. Following widespread upheaval, he was reinstated a few days later.
Kimmel read Donald Trump’s post on Truth Social, saying, “I can’t believe ABC fake news gave Jimmy Kimmel his job back,” in his first return on air.
Kimmel responded, “You can’t believe they gave me my job back,” without a second thought. I find it hard to believe we gave you your job back.
I wanted to know, Jimmy, why not, while the liberal crowd roared appreciatively. I think it’s true.
Kimmel is back on television, and Americans’ liberal elite can breathe a collective sigh of relief. Because it allows them to return to their blissful slumber, ignore reality, cling to cognitive dissonance, denial, ahistorical wishful thinking, and the complicity that is essential to white supremacy within a white supremacist order, not because liberals and their Democratic Party have learned from the incident and used it as an opportunity to galvanise meaningful opposition to Trump’s authoritarian surge.
Liberals don’t actually consider Trump and his supporters to be a significant threat. They believe the pendulum will eventually swing back to the trustworthy liberal system after a brief period of time.
Liberals don’t even share the policy tenets of Trump’s core, in fact. After all, both the right-wing and liberal elites are devoted servants of empire, giving it a veneer of humanitarianism.
Both organizations back policies that perpetuate the oppression of the poor and underrepresented populations, including extractivism and militarism abroad and labor exploitation, mass incarceration, militarised policing, censorship, and corruption through corporate donations. With discussions of diversity, rule of law, and human rights, the liberals have put their spin on all of these.
The liberals have focused on the left as the biggest threat, while supporting the right. They have attacked it not only within the partisan ranks, but they have also ignored attempts by the right to obstruct it. The revolutionary left, which is the only real threat to the current capitalist oppressive system, is being marginalized.
Liberals frequently ignore challenges to fundamental freedoms and rights, including the right to protest and the right to free speech.
The liberal establishment has thus contributed to the spread of fascism both domestically and internationally.
The US’s descent into fascism is illustrated by the suppression of the struggle for freedom, equality, and justice in Palestine.
Liberal leaders promoted the two-state solution and an endless “peace process” that supported and justified apartheid and disenfranchisement in Palestine even before the genocide that Israel committed in Gaza. By continuing to give Israel military aid and offering unreserved support for its more brutal and bloody massacres against the Palestinian population, they kept the American weapons manufacturers happy.
In line with a political consensus to combat resistance to US/Israeli criminality, the liberal Democrats introduced and supported anti-boycott, divestment, and sanctions (BDS) laws and resolutions across Congress and state legislatures, along with their Republican counterparts. Additionally, they backed the false definition of anti-Semitism used by the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance (IHRA), which targets and targets principled opposition.
Liberals and the Biden administration continued to run interference for Israel while further undermining international law as Palestinian civilians were subjected to carpet bombing, torture, kidnapping, and starvation at the start of the genocide. It supported harsh crackdowns on anti-genocide protesters, which may have cost Democrats the election, and silenced Palestinian voices at the Democratic National Convention.
Trump’s authoritarian policies were laid the groundwork for this crackdown on dissent against the US-Israeli genocide.
The Republican-aligned Heritage Foundation unveiled “Project Esther” in October 2024, a strategic blueprint designed to sabotage anti-colonial resistance by vilifying activism, scholarship, and higher education as a whole, prior to Trump taking office.
Liberals are still holding themselves accountable for their roles in the current predicament, but these Orwellian measures are already fully in motion.
The liberal establishment of today is repeating a tragic farce while opportunistically marginalizing left-wing policies and rolling out the red carpet for the right, effectively stifling the wheels of the fascist rollercoaster.
German liberals struck similar agreements with reactionary elites in the 1920s and the early 1930s, putting socialism, the loss of some privileges, as a greater threat than fascism, and elevating “order” and “peace” above justice. Adolf Hitler’s rise, which culminated in World War II, was aided by their support of communist and anarchist targets.
Trump waltzes boldly as he trashes the US Constitution while the coy and cautious US liberals of today are content with the status quo and shy away from confrontation. Today’s liberals are joining in silencing and scapegoating the left in place of challenging reactionaries, much like Weimar liberals did when they tiptoed around fascism until it was too late.
Even as Trump begins to violate the unspoken rule of the US ruling class, which is to steal from anyone, just don’t cannibalize your own, is still in effect.
Nothing in the liberal mindset has changed since Trump’s first term, as demonstrated by Dave Chappelle and Chris Rock’s iconic Saturday Night Live skit after his first election, where Trump watches the results come in for him. Chappelle deadpans, “Oh my God, I think America is racist,” as a shocked white liberal sighs. “You know, I remember my great-grandfather told me something like that. Like, he was a slave or something.
Despite his numerous flaws, Trump is able to accurately acknowledge the duplicity, corruption, and weakness of liberal politics.
After Kimmel was reinstated, he retorted on Truth Social, saying, “Why would they want someone back who plays 99% of the Democrat GARBAGE and is so poorly, who isn’t funny, and who puts the Network in danger?” See how we fare. When I pursued them, I received 16 million dollars. Even more lucrative seems to be this one. A truly “lot of losers”
The audience chuckled more than usual.
The liberals are once more blatantly causing chaos by applauding and laughing at the chaos while placating the political parties’ campaign funds.
