This is extraordinary. I don't think I have heard a more articulate & accurate deconstruction & demolition of Nigel Farage's Reform UK policy than this, in under 85 seconds! Trumps MAGA, AfD supporters in East Germany and "Ireland is full" gobshites need to hear this too.👇

Jimmy Kimmel calls out ‘Home Alone 2: Lost In New York’ star Donald Trump for trying to cancel his show. “He tried his best to cancel me & instead forced millions to watch the show. He might have to release the Epstein files to distract us from this now”

In the USA in 1943 they produced a film 'Don't be a Sucker' about fascism. It perfectly explains Nigel Farage, Donald Trump, Elon Musk and the entire Right.

David Lynch gave us the language we needed to better articulate the indescribable strangeness of our shared reality. “Lynchian” is so overused because it’s a viscerally understandable word without any known synonyms. I can’t imagine a more beautiful artistic legacy than that.

A funny, funny man.
Congratulations to @realDonaldTrump on your victory. The UK has no greater friend than the US, with the special relationship being cherished on both sides of the Atlantic for more than 80 years. We look forward to working with you and @JDVance in the years ahead.

Feel like there’s a correlation between why a lot of art feels so stagnant and the fact that mainly rich kids are the only ones getting to be filmmakers, writers, singers, etc. It’s boring cause people who have nothing to say are doing the talking.

very few publications taking this risk and it's the attitude we need in the UK industry. pride in him grown talent and the inherent obstacles and therefore rarity. use it or lose it. this lot understand that 🩷
At a hugely difficult time for print media, we gambled hard by not putting Marvel/DC/Hollywood on our front cover. We backed the British indie. The brilliant #Timestalker is in UK cinemas today. And here's our issue with 10 pages all about it. store.filmstories.co.uk/

I'm sitting next to a Lincoln impersonator at the airport bar. He's watching MSNBC reporting on yesterday's assassination attempt. This is easily the most surreal thing I've ever witnessed.

Oh @zarahsultana I felt this on a deep level. The laughing, the unhelpful interjections, demanding answers and then talking all over you. Ed Balls is not only a terrible broadcaster but he’s also just a loser sorry. Why is he co-hosting this show?
