haven't used this for a while but worth sharing - i wrote this for @tribunemagazine to celebrate peter watkins work as he turned 90. with eerie timing, he passed away the following day. i hope it serves as a fitting tribute to his work. RIP tribunemag.co.uk/2025/10/crying…

there is a real joy to cinemagoing in certain parts of europe—dirt-cheap tickets, no ads, classics & cycles regularly shown, gorgeous old publicly-funded cinemas—that is so hard to find in the uk. i like the bfi but even it feels corporate compared to stuff like this.

Every night seems to be cinema night in Bologna, showing Italian classics on the main piazza, just so, so cool.

if this was Britain it'd be £22 in, White Claw would've sponsored it, and the film would be Bridget Jones: The Edge of Reason

There will never be a better time for a new left party built around Corbyn, the 7 suspended mps & the left unions. If they could then link up with the climate movement (difficult) we’d really be sucking diesel. However, Labourism is a hell of a drug so just can’t see it happening

frequently think of the line from Ulysses “there’s a touch of the artist about old Bloom” and people who have that - who never pursued a life in the arts but who are incidental artists by their way of approaching living, and how Joyce so clearly admired that.

Not two hours ago I was watching an interview with Shelly Duvall and thinking how fantastic it was that she was still around. Blindsided by this news. One of the greatest ever to do it. RIP

all this tells you is corbyn could have scraped into downing street in 2019 if the brexit party hadn't stood down in half the country

Astonishing moment when you consider how bad the 2019 result was. To deprive Starmer of credit for this is utterly ridiculous.

an obsessive focus on boundaries and red flags and dating rules and norms is a way to disavow the “absolute power” (per Gillian Rose) we have over each other “in personal life”

think it is basically unconsciounable to vote labour at this point

have started calling my word document of five meagre pages with a number of lines coloured red "my novel", and now i feel like jerry in that episode of seinfeld where he gets excited about calling the woman he's dating "my wife"
