Thread on why Doctor Who and the James Bond Films are very much alike. Dr No, the first #JamesBond film, premiered on 6th October 1962. An Unearthly Child, the first #DrWho serial, premiered 13 months later on 23rd November 1963. Both are still going strong 50+ years later. (1/?)

Reform UK candidates for County Council said EXACTLY the same kind of thing; they failed to actually find savings and now they are hiking taxes. Only a fool would trust these clowns

Farage told @tamcohen today: ‘The Reform leader claimed that when campaigning in the local elections in May, he "did not make a single promise - not a single promise in that election campaign that we'd be able to freeze or cut council tax". "I never said it once. And you know

New bio.

Kemi was pointing out that, as per usual, Reform's policy hasn't been properly thought through. We have reciprocal deals with the EU and other countries that benefit our ex-pats. These would be lost under Farage's plan. As Kemi said, "It is wrong of [Farage] to deceive people,

This photo has big "We're going to get found out any day now" energy.

@reformparty_uk Reform-run councils are delivering chaos, infighting, and soaring council tax — despite pledging to cut it. They're a disaster in local government. How can anyone believe they’d do any better running the country?

On the making and machismo of The Wild Geese.

This isn't a man who should be let anywhere near Downing Street. His pro-Russian outlook and admiration for Putin make Farage a very real risk to national security.

This would be a huge conflict of interest for a GB News presenter and shareholder. @HuddlestonNigel⁩ Farage: Reform would change law to strip BBC of licence fee

If you want to watch one episode of The Box of Delights every Sunday and finish on the Sunday before Christmas then today is the day to start.

Such a harsh thing to say about Roger Moore.

This. The try that sparked the best England performance I’ve ever seen. One of the best starts to a semi-final I’ve ever seen, game was over inside five minutes. #EnglandRugby

The Geese are flying. Thanks to my colleague @Andrew_Examiner for this first chunk of publicity about my forthcoming @SeverinFilms book ‘Fifty Men in the Valley of the Shadow - The Making of The Wild Geese’. https://t.co/THtH6XlOpy

We currently have several violent criminals, released by Labour, on our streets. Millions of workers are heading for tax rises as those on benefits get more handouts. Yet Reform cannot resist from indulging in endless boomer slop. This is all you get from them - slop.

Maybe it's about time journalists stopped asking how we pay for tax cuts, and start asking how we are going to pay for tax rises. Sadly, that probably doesn't compute with a huge number of them.

Absolute nonsense - and worse still, Yusuf knows it. The Royal Navy can’t stop the small boats. It’s not what they’re equipped to do; it would lead to unnecessary deaths, and it would break maritime law. But he knows Reform cultists will fall for it. It’s tragic to behold.

Nothing against Berlin's Take My Breath Away, but Who Wants To Live Forever (which wasn't even nominated) should clearly have won Best Song at the 1987 Oscars.

Genuinely believe that Francis Ford Coppola, at the peak of his powers, using a film projector to stir a tomato sauce, so that he, Scorsese, and Brian De Palma could leave to watch the first screening of The Last Waltz, is the apex of being Italian
