Finished Warrior's Gate in my leisurely watch through. I understand why people don't like it and I have criticized many new series episodes for lack of coherent explanations but this is done with such visual class and the cast understand what the director is trying to do.

I Haven’t watched it since it first went out, but perhaps I should. It looked like an OMD video, and I still have no idea what was going on.

I love it when the Tories say they'll now do something they failed to do in 14 years in power. I don't know about you, but I really truly believe them this time

AT LONG LAST. This was one of the Underground's great shames.
South Kensington Underground station is the gateway to some of London’s best-loved museums.
Plans to redevelop it have moved a step closer, promising Londoners and visitors a better travel experience, plus new affordable housing, office space and business opportunities 💙

I can’t choose any of those, I’m afraid. Pettersson 8 is a great symphony. I like Vaughan Williams 8 too. And Robert Simpson 8. And Per Nørgård 8. And Holmboe 8 …

I'll be honest I shed a tear when Lewis won in Silverstone in 24.
Felt like a release of held-in emotion, from all the bs that came before it

Labour start releasing criminals from prison today.
Because of their chaotic decision-making there will be two releases in October alone.
Ministers said they’d all be tagged - but now admit that’s not true.
The probation service says it will be overwhelmed - but ministers ignored them.
Prison governors say they can’t prepare so many for release to a proper address - but they were ignored too.
There are 700 fewer prison cells than last year.
1,600 fewer prison officers than since the election.
No new prisons planned or approved under Labour.
But there are still more than 4,000 operational prison places available.
There are another 3,000 that could be found by doubling and fully using existing cells.
And another 4,600 that could be used but aren’t because of repairs, staff shortages and even bed bugs.
Dartmoor Prison sits empty - because it’s exposed to natural levels of radon gas thousands of locals live with all the time.
Labour say this is unavoidable. But they haven’t fought to keep prisoners locked up. They just opened the prison doors.
They don’t have it in their DNA to be tough on crime - and the public will pay the price.

@KemiBadenoch what is this?
⚠️ EXCLUSIVE ⚠️
Over the last few weeks, several eyewitness reports have emerged suggesting the UK government is flying migrants directly into Liverpool airport.
The images below are verified and show a Boeing 737-800, registration EC-MTV.
These images were taken by an eyewitness on the tarmac of Liverpool Airport on 9th September.
The eyewitness has stated that an entire planeload of migrants were disembarked from the aircraft and placed straight onto pre-prepared coaches and driven away.
The witness also stated that after the migrants were disembarked, another group of migrants boarded the plane, all in handcuffs.
The second group were reportedly Albanian nationals being deported.
Now here's the scary part.
The Boeing (EC-MTV) is owned and operated by AlbaStar, a Spanish airline which has a contract with the UK Home Office to fly illegal migrants back to France under the 'one in, one out' deal.
However, these 'one in, one out' deportation flights depart from Stansted, nowhere near Liverpool.
Prepare yourself for the next part.
I have personally tracked the movements of this aircraft using flight data and other sources, and on the 9th of September, EC-MTV arrived at Liverpool John Lennon airport from DUBLIN.
Flight data shows this aircraft left Dublin at 8:36am (Irish standard time) and landed in Liverpool at 9:09am on the 9th September.
It then departed Liverpool again at 11:15am.
Later the same day the aircraft landed in Tirana, Albania and then flew back to Stansted.
These verified aircraft movements confirm the insiders information regarding the plane being used to return Albanian deportees after disembarking the migrants from Ireland.
I've checked, and the coaches parked on the tarmac next to the aircraft come from a company which also has a migrant contract with the Home Office.
Just to confirm, I also checked whether AlbaStar normally flies between Dublin and Liverpool - they don't, ever.
So why oh why on God's green Earth is the British government flying migrants directly into the UK from ANOTHER safe country?!
