#TexasChainsaw3D is about as good as you'd expect it to be. And there's an awful lot of camera shots devoted to the bodies of Daddario and Raymonde.

Labour's biggest problem is that they always seem almost ashamed to be in power, whereas the Tories revel in it.

In keeping with "watching stuff that I could have caught years ago on normal telly, but am watching now it's on streaming..." just catching "The End of the F***ing World" which, like "I'm Not Okay with this" unsurprisingly, is very good.

The BBC have broadcast the edited Trump 6th Jan speech many more times in the last few days than it did in the last year.

#Smile2 - for all of Naomi Scott's fine central performance, this is really just "more of the same" with a few songs to pad runtime. Okay for what it is, but it didn't add anything, and having an undefeatable enemy reduces tension.
