This week's column is about the Starmer-like self-destruction of the impending decision to approve new oil and gas drilling in the North Sea. It might appease certain lobby groups, but it sabotages Burnham's own project and drives voters away. Utter madness. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Is Burnham trying to appease Trump? Or Reform? What other reason is there for these North Sea oil plans? | George Monbiot
Climate catastrophe is on our doorstep – yet Labour’s impending approval of further drilling will bring more pain for negligible gains, says Guardian columnist George Monbiot

43) Lady. Delightful surreal comedy mockumentary in which Sian Clifford plays an aristocrat who invites a film crew into her home…then starts to turn invisible.

‘Forget Saltburn, this is Grey Gardens after a heroic dose of psilocybin, as Lady proves to be a gloriously deranged mockumentary that turns satire into a study of the human need to be seen,’ writes Anna Stafford. Read the full review: lwlies.com/reviews/lady

Lady review – a gloriously unhinged mockumentary
Samuel Abrahams draws a magnificent performance from Sian Clifford in this portrait of a woman forced to watch both her body and her art slowly disappear.

As a landowner who works with farmers who are all trying to balance income, access, rewilding, etc I always love people trying to genuinely discuss these complicated topics without getting stuck into Culture Wars. Ask me anything if you’re curious, or google Our Land to see if it’s coming to you.

Effi o Blaenau hits screens in June. Beautifully shot, a fierce central performance. Marc Evans has been prolific in Welsh filmmaking, but this is closest to House of America, a film that made me and my friends feel seen amongst Cool Cymru bluster. Go see it! www.theguardian.com/film/2026/ma...

What a relief! A seismic win for decent, progressive politics. Surely everyone in Gorton and Denton deserves a day off for successfully fending off Farage/Goodwin.

In an incredibly dark time for politics and politicians, it’s just immensely refreshing to see someone who clearly believes he can bring joy and hope to others during his time in office. It’s such a rare thing.

A New Kind of Wilderness is one of the most moving docs I have seen in years - a tale of grief, alternative living and the challenge of holding onto your ideals. And the Payne family’s choice to go off grid chimed with my own odd, albeit more suburban childhood. www.thetimes.com/article/0f22...

Another of last night’s Gotham winners doubling down. I’ve said it before: the Academy has to tweak their entry system so they aren’t repeatedly stymied by national selection committees.
