Yeah but the fact that Luke isn't even there and 'force protecting' himself is such a let down in the movie. They literally showed Kylo Ren stopping blaster laser boots in the TFA, Luke should have been able to stop loads of them and then force them back to blow up the AT-ATs.

The Times used to be a serious newspaper of record. It has moved a long way past that with rubbish like this. Misogynistic and wrong on every level for a serious newspaper.

Reform UK, which has a grand total of four MPs, was just given an uninterrupted platform for an hour and a half on the BBC and Sky News channels, in order to talk about its plans for mass deportations When was the last time the Greens (with four MPs) or the Lib Dems (with 72) were given the same?

It’s disgusting, she’s a prisoner presumably on licence so probation should be recalling her to prison. She is not taking responsibility for the crime she plead guilty to. No other prisoner on licence is given this sort of media attention. If Starmer doesn’t proceed with Leveson2 now we’re sunk.

Personally, I can't think of anything worse than having to live for months on end in a hotel room. No storage for clothes, toys, food, drinks. It's certainly not luxury after more than a couple of days
Andy B (@wyt3fr0g.bsky.social)
The trouble is that for a lot of people, staying in a hotel is luxury. The hotels used for housing immigration/asylum are standard hotels, at best. But these are still much better than some people's homes and that's a cause of frustration that the right wing are tapping into.
