Frances Barber height - How tall is Frances Barber?

On 4 April 2020, Owen Jones posted pictures of a couple of tweets sent by Frances accusing her of racism and calling for the Labour Party to reject her membership application. Barber counter-accused Owen Jones of "silencing women" and threatened him with a libel law suit. Barber falsely claimed that she never sent the tweets, and that it was "one of [Owen's] hateful mob pretending to be me". Multiple accounts then came forward with their own screenshots of the interaction, confirming that the incident took place.

On 13 December 2019, Barber tweeted "Trots won’t go til they’re shot" in reference to Jeremy Corbyn's continuing role as leader of the Labour party, causing some backlash. On 19 March 2020, Frances Barber tweeted "I think I could strangle him" in reference to Jeremy Corbyn. This tweet was later removed for breaking Twitter's policy.

Barber urged a vote for the Labour Party at the 2017 UK general election. Critical of Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn, she said "I will vote Labour holding my nose. Urge you too." In September 2017, she resigned from the party, saying: "I can't belong to a party full of Misogyny, Anti-Semitism and Thuggery".

After the Scottish National Party won 56 seats at the 2015 general election, Barber commented on Twitter, “God help us all is all I can say when the racist S.N.P. try to take over, England will react we will have civil war”, adding: “They loathe The English with a passion only reminiscent of the 3rd reich.”

In 2011, she guest-starred in the Doctor Who episodes "A Good Man Goes to War" and "The Wedding of River Song" (and five other episodes, sometimes uncredited) as Madame Kovarian. She also acted in the television film We'll Take Manhattan as Diana Vreeland.

In 2006, she received an honorary fellowship from the University of Wolverhampton.

She appeared in Pet Shop Boys' musical Closer to Heaven in 2001 as well as guest singer for the song "Friendly Fire" on the Pet Shop Boys' 2006 live concert at the Mermaid Theatre. She also appeared alongside Ian McKellen and Roger Allam in the Old Vic's pantomime production of Aladdin in the 2005–06 Christmas season. She again starred with Ian McKellen in 2007 playing Goneril in Trevor Nunn's production of King Lear and as Arkadina in Chekhov's The Seagull with the Royal Shakespeare Company in Stratford-upon-Avon followed by a world tour throughout the year. They again performed the two plays in repertory at the New London Theatre on Drury Lane, opening in November 2007 and closing mid-January 2008.
