I don’t know if it was deliberate on Holmes’ part, but the horrible stuff that happens to the leads doesn’t seem to hit too hard because I’m distracted by the Sontarans having an immeasurably worse time than everyone else

Watched it again just last week and thought exactly the same! Virtually plotless, wastes Troughton, oddly racist, Shockeye being rapey, straight up murder from the Doctor, and I’d watch it again tomorrow.

This is the exact energy of the entire interview, which I enjoyed immensely

Wasn’t one of Starmer’s first speeches as PM about devolving more tax/spend policies to local government? I’d say it’s baffling, but it’s entirely on brand for a government that lost track of where it was going the moment it set off

Has the Trickster just got back from Magaluf? Why is he so tanned

I struggled to settle in and enjoy The Well as I had the twist ruined for me months ago! I want to engage in the online Doctor Who community, but find it *impossible* to avoid spoilers these days

If the White House is flouting on social media that they’re not bothering to get Ábrego García back - in clear violation of the Supreme Court ruling - is this the moment it becomes a full fledged constitutional crisis?

I remember buying this in WHSmith… I feel ancient

Worth pointing out how huge this is relative to the aid budget - an 8% relative increase in the defence budget, compared to a 40% relative cut in foreign aid

Surely choosing which department to take funding from is a political choice too? Is this the UK aligning to the cuts to USAID?

I was going to say Spearhead must be one of the most frequently released stories, but then I remembered how many copies of the Runaway Bride I have kicking around

Do we know which story has had the most releases on physical media?

Cons voters putting immigration as a larger priority than the economy alongside reform - denial of how dire the situation is, or a sign of a drift away from economic messaging for the Tories?

Will I be able to listen to this having never seen any of the original series? It sounds very exciting and I’d love to give it a whirl, but wondering if I’d need to check out the back catalogue first…

Incredibly excited to find out what secrets the Earthcwak holds!
