“This film is where the beginning of Nolan’s career meets the apex. A 'Memento' for The Ages, in which our hero keeps recovering fragments of lost memories, sharing his confusion with the audience, as he discovers that his role in the epic may not be as heroic as he - or we - first thought.”

Absolute masterclass on the doorstep! Seeing a 94-year-old voter calmly dismantle talking points with hard facts is pure joy. We need far more voters who refuse to be misled by empty slogans and demand real substance from politicians representing their constituency. Brilliant stuff. 👏

94-year-old Clacton voter's beautiful takedown of Reform canvasser is must-watch

A clip has gone viral online of a 94-year-old Clacton voter beautifully dismantling all the arguments of a Reform councillor.

This looks very promising. New Science minister has responsibilities both in DBIST and Dept. Health & Social care putting innovation across depts at the centre of government. Chris MacDonald - impressive credentials for the post -has been appointed. Patrick Vallance also been given new roles 1/3

Did you know a barrister is facing prison just for reminding a jury they have the right to vote with their conscience? This historic right has existed since 1670. We can't let it be silenced in court now. Add your name to help protect Britain's juries: you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/sa...

Save Britain's Juries

Juries have had the right to acquit based on their conscience for centuries. Now, a barrister is facing jail just for mentioning it in court. Add your name to help save Britain's juries.

A Brit in the semis of Wimbledon, England still in the World Cup and Nigel Farage spending the summer arguing with a bin. Oh this happy breed of men, this little world, This precious stone set in the silver sea

🧵I’d rather spend my weekends doing something else than post about Nigel Farage’s murky finances, but his behaviour poses such a threat to our democratic norms that I wanted to flag a number of points in the public interest.

Revealed: Nigel Farage secretly funded by convicted criminal

The Reform UK leader did not declare benefits including staff, security and housing by crypto-gambler George Cottrell, our investigation reveals

I cannot adequately express just how much I despise Kemi Badenoch. I know politicians who fail to read a room and get their tone wrong. I have never come across one with such an unerring ability to adopt the least appropriate stance on every single occasion. She is a twitter troll made flesh. #PMQs

I feel really sorry for Kier just right now....hounded out by the right wing .. near to tears at the end of his speech. I think he's made the right decision, but hate the pile on in social media.

First he was told that he had to be put to sleep. Then it looked like he might never walk again but what nobody had counted on was the heart within little Stormzy. I remember the days trying to teach him to walk again. He must have fallen over a thousand times but every single time he got back up.
