At this difficult time please think of the true victims, The UK Government and Labour Party MPs scared of losing the whip who now have to find a way to comment on the U.S. launching an unprovoked war without upsetting the only basket they have all their eggs in.

Venezuela has the world’s largest oil reserves — and that’s no coincidence. This is naked U.S. imperialism: an illegal assault on Caracas aimed at overthrowing a sovereign government and plundering its resources. Starmer’s Labour government must condemn this unequivocally.

The Holdovers is an unexpectedly good Christmas film. Not great but solid across the board. Paul Giamatti is great as a curmudgeonly ancient History teacher; the script is packed with Classical references.
