Dear Nigel Farage The Albanian PM Edi Rami: "You left Europe because you wanted less boats, and you have more boats." "You left Europe because you wanted more investment. You have less investment." Never a truer word spoken. #BBCBreakfast #Brexit

Trump and Vance have declared themselves to be on Russia's side in the Russo-Ukraine war.  This is a catastrophic mistake for America's national security.  And let's be clear:  Trump and Vance now personally own that policy.  It is not the view of a majority of Americans of either or no political party.

A great night for @MetropolFilm at last night's Irish Film & Television Awards, with five nominations for two of our productions last year. Delighted to share the evening with my fantastic colleagues - a really great team. #IFTA @IFTA

35 years ago this month, the last ep of #Blackadder Goes Forth screened. Most of us treasure the series as 3 unmatched comedy hours. But there was a deeper message throughout encapsulated in this moving final scene. #RemembranceSunday Vid: BlackadderQtes

This is absolutely hilarious Wonder what @JohnKingCNN thinks about @TheOnion giving him a run for his money on the magic wall 🤷‍♂️🤣

Oh.

This video is incredible. Everyone should RETWEET it so the whole *world* sees it.

Last night’s Irish premiere of Small Thinks Like These was remarkable. Cillian Murphy’s performance is astonishing, and simply flawless. This is a film that needs to be seen. #smallthingslikethese #cillianmurphy @LionsgateUK @ScreenIreland

Too soon, surely?

What a brilliant premiere tonight of #kneecap. Go and see, it’s a blast #kneecapfilm #kneecapmovie @KNEECAPCEOL

NEW: Forecaster who has predicted almost every election since 1984, says Kamala Harris will likely win the election in November. Allan Lichtman, who correctly predicted Trump would win in 2016 & Biden in 2020, says his forecasts point to a Harris win. Lichtman uses '13 keys' to make his predictions: The "keys" are: – party mandate – contest – incumbency – third party – short-term economy – long-term economy – policy change, – social unrest – scandal – foreign/military failure – foreign/military success – incumbent charisma – challenger charisma As of now, Harris has 6 keys and Trump only has 3. Lichtman still has four keys to hand out but Harris is already at 6 meaning, in his own words, "a lot would have to go wrong for Democrats to lose." Lichtman is waiting until the DNC to make his final prediction.
