There’s a lot to say, and unpack, regarding the unsanctioned demolition of the east wing of the White House this week. A big part of that, for me at least, is the legacy of presidents watching films in its movie theater and documenting it, including Carter watching AUTUMN SONATA with 50 staff.

There's nothing funny about stripping people from being able to see historical artefacts, however "irrelevant" they might seem to your life. I'm going throw a dice here and assume you don't have many stamps on your passport.

The Louvre jewel heist is a crime I can get behind. Old fashioned fun, sexy, audacious, victimless caper we can enjoy guilt-free. I hope they get caught after a long international chase, but instead of jail they get a parade. "Thank you for this fun crime! I hope nobody else tries it again (wink)"

Outstanding performances all round. Manages to make the viewer uncomfortable without needing lots of blood and gore. A classic... #SerialKiller

‘Crackers’ is a very kind way to describe these deeply immoral and fascist manoeuvrings by the Tory party. They have lost their minds. Driven mad by their own prejudice and failure. We have to make sure that this particular brand never sees power again.

The Conservatives have drafted the legislation.

ANY one of the conditions being met leads to ILR being revoked.

If annual income falls below £38,700 for six months (for any reason at all)

The Secretary of State would also have the powers add whatever further conditions they want.

This is deranged and dangerous from the Conservatives, and similarly from Reform. If they could enact it, it would rip British society apart, destroy the economy & NHS, & make the UK an international pariah. Every decent politician & political journalist/commentator needs to push back hard.

Sunder Katwala (sundersays) @sundersays.bsky.social · 20h

The draft legislation is crackers. It would fail immediately if we stayed in the ECHR but it disappears the human rights act. if passed after that it would involve mandatory loss of ILR for up to 400,000 people + refusal of 2-3 million others, though without no credible means to identify or remove

Jonathan Portes @jdportes.bsky.social · 1d

Here Lam explicitly sets out her proposal - which is official Conservative Party policy - to deport long-standing legal permanent residents who have *ever* claimed any benefit, including the state pension or child benefit (even if the child is British), or who earn less than £39K.

"The idea of deporting people with settled status is disgusting, and anyone proposing it should be immediately drummed out of polite society. Breaking promises made in good faith to our friends and neighbours is racist, extremist and immoral."

I'm basically shouting at the sky here, but still.

It’s racist, it’s extremist and it’s immoral

The right is still calling for deportations, and the government is still being cowardly about it. Also: London’s first green belt; some notes on a shark; and some news, on my next book.

You asked about proof of Hamas killing civilians over the past week. I told you how to find this. I did this for a reason. It is widely reported across international media and independent journalists. Your inability to "find" this shows you don't care. Wishing you well.

I come and go with what I'd choose as my fave film but hypothetically if I am on my death bed, I just want this or Apocalypse Now (unless anyone can set up a 35mm Technicolor presentation of Pinnochio, which I *may* go for). Best triple bill, mind.

I wrote a front cover retrospective of The Hills Have Eyes this month. People rag on kids as an excuse for censorship. Literally watched this at age 11 or 12 and turned it off as I knew I was just not old enough to deal with it. We don't give kids enough credit.

I'm a big fan of James but I suspect this would surprise him.

Calum Waddell @brassupnorth.bsky.social · 1d

It's not black/white or us/them - Robinson and the current Israeli govt are fkng horrific, and back home politicians such as Ayoub Khan are fueling sectarianism over a conflict in another part of the world. I find the idea your average Israeli would be a Tommy Robinson fan highly *highly* unlikely.

James O’Brien @mrjamesob.bsky.social · 1d

The man whose presence might lead to Tel Aviv football fans being “falsely associated with his far-right activities,” has just visited Tel Aviv as an honoured guest of the Israeli government. Riddle me that.
