@Variety In the 2004 film Troy they got a German to play Helen, a Yorkshireman to play Odysseus and two Irishmen to play Menelaus and Priam. All from places far from the eastern Mediterranean. Yet somehow none of the outrage that comes with casting an African now.

Elon Musk is doubling down on his criticisms against Christopher Nolan’s #TheOdyssey, claiming the director’s diverse casting choices were made to meet #Oscars eligibility requirements.
“Who specifically is the asshole who added DEI lies to Academy Awards eligibility instead of it just being about making the best movie?” he asked. “Chris Nolan desecrated ‘The Odyssey’ so that he would be eligible for an Academy Award.”

On behalf of their client, Zara Sultana, Bindmans Media and Information Law Practise Group requires that I publish the following statement on X, and that such statement must be clearly visible and pinned to my
profile for a continuous period of no less than 24 hours:
“On 30 March 2026, I published a post on my X account addressed to Zarah Sultana in which I stated that she encourages and incites violence and is friends with terrorists.
Those statements are false. I was wrong and offer my sincere apologies to Ms Sultana for the harm and distress caused to her.”
It is my very great pleasure to do this, and I reiterate my sincere and repeated offer to meet with Miss Zara Sultana in person to resolve our differences.

delighted to be talking with the peerless and indefatigible @Victoria_Spratt at the first ever @Barnsburybookf. About housing, injustice and the forthcoming We Were Promised The Moon. In which she asks: were young adults mis-sold a future?

The killing of dozens of girls at a primary school in Iran is not on the front page of a single British newspaper.
A simple test - imagine the reaction if they were Israelis.

Slightly unfashionable view these days but I think the Senedd building is a beautiful, modern parliament.
Good to see MSs returning to it today.

Apart from a single year 1950-51, the Conservatives were in power throughout the 1950s. The total lack of historical understanding of Britain’s commitment to modernising - across society - in the post war years is remarkable.
Julian Dutton@JulianDutton1
Labour's razing of Britain's built heritage in the 50s was surpassed only by the Soviet Union.
