It’s Toshiro Mifune’s birthday.
Here he is drunkenly getting ready to shoot people but Lee Marvin stays cool as a cucumber for a very good reason.

Shabana Mahmood MP ~ @ShabanaMahmood X.com I have approved the Metropolitan Police's request to ban the Al Quds march. I am satisfied doing so is necessary to prevent serious public disorder, due to the scale of the protest and multiple counter-protests, in the context of the ongoing conflict in the Middle East. Should a stationary demonstration proceed, the police will be able to apply strict conditions. I expect to see the full force of the law applied to anyone spreading hatred and division instead of exercising their right to peaceful protest.

Gentlemen, you can’t protest against the war here! There’s a war going on!

Working class lad and all. Big fan of his.

Rap has always been a working class art form, but because it doesn’t fit into the white middle-class view of what working-class music looks like they ignore it completely.

Morgan Jones @morganjOnes.bsk... • 36m l've written about why Labour needs to update its understanding of the UK's political landscape - and get that there are many, many other places for voters to go, and some of them are preferable to others.

Really good piece.

What was it that attracted that rich guy - the one who offered a masseuse a free horse, in payment for a handjob - to buying a website where everyone was talking about elite sex criminals, then filling it with Nazis denouncing feminism as a plot to destroy civilisation? Perhaps we will never know.

Not to defend Starmer but it's a traditional thing done as part of the national sport. There's a relation to "Britishness", however trite it may be.

Kinda beautiful to be honest.

When your average pink faced St George’s cape wearer says they’re “Christian“, they don’t actually mean they read the bible or go to any services - they just mean they’re “not Muslim“ 🤷🏻

Any footballer labelled as a flop for your club by other supporters, but who wasn’t nearly as bad/was a lot better than people think. Crespo the main example.

Liberal politicians if you are so disturbed just pretend Charlie Kirk was a Palestinian child and you’ll get over it in no time

Drastic move from Mandelson but to be fair he is off the front page.

If there are any young people listening, for goodness’ sake don’t spend £1,000 a day on crack.

Oh you…

It's a beaut. Proper big.

Our little independent horror podcast is growing!

We've been blessed so far to talk to the art director from Ghostwatch, Richard Drew and The Surrender director Julia Max.

We've got another special guest coming soon - he directed a very scary movie when COVID first reared its head.

Stay tuned!

Few things I’ve thought of:
1. “He’s the Jackie Chan of racism.”
2. “This is Jackie Chan racism!”
3. “This racist is Jackie Chan.”

So you’re telling me the Wizard of Oz presented itself as a towering force of overwhelming technology, only to be unmasked as just some guy, off-screen?

No longer, but he was undoubtedly at one point.

A great writer and a brilliant essayist of writing but a complete dickhead in all other respects.
