Ive just seen Bulk, a low budget, almost early punk ethic, sci-fi thriller followed by a q & a with writer & director Ben Wheatley. An excellent way to spend a rainy Sunday afternoon in Edinburgh.

Oh wow. Trump got a hand-me-down Nobel Peace Prize! Did you know:
It would not be the first time a Nobel laureate has given his or her medal away: in 1943 Nobel Literature laureate Knut Hamsun gave his medal to Nazi propaganda minister Joseph Goebbels.

I saw JMW Turner's painting of Beachy Head yesterday, which reminded me of provocative industrial music pioneers Throbbing Gristle, whose 1979 album, 20 Jazz Funk Greats, features a tongue-in-cheek cover photo of Beachy Head, a famous (infamous?) suicide spot.

Jessie Buckley and Paul Mescal are superb in this adaptation of Maggie O'Farrell's book, Hamnet (which my wife says is great).
Directed by Chloé Zhao, and very different from two of her previous films, The Riders and Nomadland, which we both enjoyed.

Just went to see the annual Turner Watercolour exhibition at the Scottish National Gallery in Edinburgh.
Its something always worth going to, and you can easily see more of the works on display too

John McDonnell is absolutely right. Mandelson should be nowhere near UK public life. He should not be platformed on prime-time BBC TV. Is this Starmer rehabilitating him?
Why is he still a LABOUR PARTY MEMBER & allowed to make laws in the unelected House of Lords? Why is he ‘the right honourable’?

When Keir Starmer appointed Mandelson I said publicly it was a serious error of judgement. I’ve always been a supporter of the BBC in its role as a public broadcaster but the decision to invite Mandelson onto the Kuensberg programme calls into question once more its own judgment.
