This is not exactly a Christmas movie, but its depiction of a woman struggling to survive in a dehumanised worplace in the service of rampant consumerism, set against the kindness and decency of the people she encounters in the outside world, holds out some hope of redemption. Highly recommended.

The Greens requested an interview on the Laura Kuenssberg Show with Zack Polanski when he was elected leader, but were denied, with a promise to interview him during Green conference instead.
This was then scrapped citing the Manchester synagogue attack. Polanski is both Jewish and from Manchester

What on Earth is this? An "in depth" BBC article about free speech in the UK that only cites examples of right-wing/ 'anti-woke' speech being suppressed. How can you mention Lucy Connolly but completely ignore Palestine Action / Just Stop Oil? Gob-smacking. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...
How the simmering UK freedom of speech row reached boiling point
How did we reach a point where the UK is being compared to a 'tin pot Third World dictatorship'?

Have you heard about this, BlueSky chums? It happened in London less than 24 hours ago but AFAIK isn't being covered in the UK news cycle. If you can manage to find the story at www.bbc.co.uk/news or theguardian.com please let me know.

@kermodeandmayo.bsky.social I hope we will be getting a review for 'on falling' this week. A film that charts the disconnect of 21st century life, while exploring humanity throughout. The perfect successor to Laverty, Loach, O'Brien etc. A first feature from director/writer Laura Carreira

Usually I’m in the audience at the BFI, but today I had the privilege of being on the panel for the screening of ON FALLING on release day.
This visceral film powerfully depicts the isolation and dehumanisation within the gig economy.
