I work with research and data about films and television as well as being a World Heritage Site hunter, Pompey fan, former Erasmus student, all whilst attempting to be a dad

🚨 Cal Roscow, B4B Director of Campaigns: “After 7 years, a generation of young Brits have been robbed of the chance to study or get work experience in the European Union Opportunities that even Reform UK’s own education spokesperson benefitted from, so we would expect to see cross-party support”

Rejoining Erasmus is a step in the right direction for Britain’s young people - Best for Britain

Rejoining Erasmus will give young people key opportunities and should receive broad, cross-party support, campaigners hi

Hey everyone, gather around! Elon Musk, the trillionaire defense contractor currently spending >$400m on political campaigns to prop up the party of a deeply unpopular president who launched the Iran War has some thoughts about Ukraine, elites, and money in politics.

First post — Elon Musk (@elonmusk):
What’s actually going on in Ukraine is that there is a massive incentive difference between the elites and the people.
The former have grown very rich off the hundreds of billions flowing to Ukraine, while the latter’s children are conscripted to die in trenches.

Second post — Elon Musk (@elonmusk):
And some of that US taxpayer money comes back through multiple laundry machines to fund political campaigns in America, which is why you see some politicians caring more about Ukraine than America!

You can go to today’s universities and see what excellence actually looks like or you can be ignorant and lazy and sneer at ‘Mickey Mouse’ degrees at post-92 universities instead. Good to see Victoria Derbyshire choosing the intelligent option and reporting on it.

Then at University of Winchester where I opened their new state-of-the-art TV studio (like the actual green screen studios we have in broadcast media); the undergraduates doing degrees in journalism and multi media are really lucky to have such superb facilities. They were a joy to spend time with.

This should set off a siren in every defence ministry in Europe: there needs to be much more urgency about developing autonomous capabilities, not subject to US caprices, for early warning of attacks, countering ballistic missiles, communicating with forces or controlling offensive weapons.

Ukrainian presidential advisor Serhiy Beskrestnov confirms Elon Musk's Space X crippled Ukrainian capabilities last night. In other words, the US deliberately sabotaged European defence operations mid-mission. Every country in the world should move away from buying American hardware ASAP.

"I can confirm that tonight SpaceX has implemented a speed limit on Starlink terminals while in motion.

The limit currently applies to the StarShield “military package” and is set at 100 mph.

Our defense forces were not given notice of this limit, and this has resulted in the disruption of a number of missions.

It is clear that this action cannot be a coincidence and is related to the current political situation."

This was painted in the 1420/1430s in a workshop in Flanders. The level of detail in the Ghent Alterpiece was very much unmatched at the time. Jan van Eyck truly was one of the greatest painters ever.

First film of London Film Festival: Musk documentary by Alex Gibney 2 hours outlining why Musk is a pretty deplorable character Interval 2 hours showing you that first half was the ceiling and he descends to unutterable depths. Felt depressing and essential. #LFF #BFI

Manchester City cheated Premier League rules, the Commission found. Did it also cheat HMRC? We've examined the decision and leaked Mancini documents. We think City likely failed to pay £12m in tax. There should be a criminal investigation. Thread:
