@IanDunt I wonder how much of this is triggered by the physical structure of Number 10, and the jostling for position around the PM.

English

Ian Dunt@IanDunt·6 Eki

If we end up with a more press-focused No.10 it'll help with story telling and quieten the noise, but it won't actually help get things done. This leaves a big functional hole where the government's agenda was.

For fuck sake. On the basis of what? Nothing at all. Why in God's name would they take this decision.

@edwinhayward I'm getting a much more 'end of days' vibe now, I guess labour didn't buy that much time.

Here's the fun part. Remember the Tories placing insider bets on the timing of the GE? That moved the betting markets. A lot. Labour noticed. Pure observation told them the GE was coming before it was announced. So they bought all the best ad space up. x.com/WhoTargetsMe/s…

This is what the front page of the Daily Mail website looks like right now. You're going to have to do a little bit of work for the whole story, so please read the rest of the thread...

@ChrisHewitt Can we go back to having a post-theatre window for blu-ray (/4k) disks before it goes to streaming? That might give it a bit more room to breathe in the theatre, I just don’t understand why they are so quick to release on streaming.

English

Chris Hewitt@ChrisHewitt·2 Haz

The streaming window needs to be boarded up.

Janet Maslin@JanetMaslin

This was supposedly D.O.A. But it keeps going up as most other films tank. Now pushing $150m worldwide even though it’s already streaming. Give new films room to breathe, ok? The old rules no longer apply.

@charlesarthur I thought for a minute it was dubbed as there was no echo/background noise, but there is a bit at the end, so I think it’s just a cancelling algorithm.

Charles Arthur@charlesarthur·5 Nis

I’m a *very* long way from being a fan of Cameron but this is a masterclass in communicating a policy. I think some actors would struggle to deliver the lines and do the “business” - waving the paper, putting it away, etc. (Also: steadicam? A trolley? Who faced forward?)

@DavidHenigUK Doesn't really seem like a smoking gun though, there's no direct mention of compensation payouts. It reads more like they don't want to close post-offices before the election.

Remarkable how such an unremarkable note turned into a Sunday Times story provoked such fury from Kemi Badenoch. One almost wonders whether it was a test to provoke her. twitter.com/TomBoadle/stat…

Tom Boadle@TomBoadle

NEW: here’s the full memo that Henry Staunton sent to himself after meeting the Business Dept’s top civil servant in Jan last year saying that the Post Office should “hobble” up to the election and “now was not the time for dealing with long term issues”

David Henig 🇺🇦@DavidHenigUK·21 Şub

Just shows Badenoch's colossal and inexplicable lack of judgement in challenging the Sunday Times story - which wasn't even about her. The story always rang true as the sort of conversation senior officials would have.

@LadyBrainSueMcC @lewis_goodall @dirk1978 @broomhilldons You don't have to be Scottish to be a (Scottish) patriot, by Lewis' definitions you are a patriot. I'm English (with Scottish heritage), and would like to maintain the union, but I understand why Scotland would want independence, and I wouldn't act to prevent it.

Starmer: “I promise this- a politics which treads a little lighter on all our lives. That’s the thing about populism or nationalism…It needs your full attention, needs you constantly focussing on this week’s common enemy. And that’s exhausting.” Really interesting section.

@empiremagazine you were saying (on the pod) that Aquaman wasn't a great end to the DCCU, but could we just ignore that and stick with the Flash? I'm late to seeing it, but it's fun and included a lot of the DC characters.

@kermodeandmayo TS I haven't seen, but is probably the answer. My daughter prefers Ghostbusters 2016 to the original, and trying to be objective, I have a hard time disagreeing. If you can put the original to one side, it's a fun film. 300 does what it intended, shouldn't be on the list.

@alastc Out in March, I believe. Although the recent censorship debacle with The Abyss might mean it’s now up in the air.

@jamescdyer on the pod you mentioned a Cameron 4k boxset I March (I think). Is that definitely a thing? I can't find anything about a boxset yet, but I would wait if there was going to be one!
