It’s all beginning to feel a bit 1984. We’re in a battle against autocrats and oligarchs who are using money and misinformation to dismantle democracies. That’s why we’re looking for 1,984 new monthly supporters to make our biggest and boldest plans a reality (see link in bio)

This is serious. New polling shows Reform UK surging—they could win 67 seats and become one of the biggest parties in Parliament. They’re building a ruthless campaign machine to push their far-right agenda. We need to fight back. Will you join me? www.stop-reform.org @hopenothate.org.uk

Reform UK is growing faster than anyone expected. Our new MRP polling shows that if a General Election were held tomorrow, they could win up to 76 seats—potentially surging to 169 if they gain just 3%...

#Conclave the film is one of those rare examples of the film being a smidge better than the book. Although Robert Harris is brilliant and Conclave the book is brilliant but the film misses those bits where i’m thinking ‘why am I reading about the machinations of the Catholic church?

#BlackDoves the motivations rely too much on flashbacks so i don’t care about the dead bfriend. The timeline is defined by haircuts- however this fails when k knightley has same long hair 2017 as in present day however twin bump does help.
