@pscupdates.bsky.social Statement following the indication from the Metropolitan Police that they will restrict protesters from marching from the BBC to Whitehall on the planned 18/01/2025 march for Palestine.

We will not accept this very real assault on our civil liberties. #WeWillMarch

Reform UK has done nothing but grown in popularity under Starmer’s β€˜muscular social democracy’. If defeating the right is a key concern of Starmer’s Labour, why has it uncritically pandered to so many right-wing talking points Paul?

All Starmer’s failings play into the hands of Farage – the prime minister is the gift that keeps on giving | Aditya Chakrabortty From rightwing rhetoric to a lack of action on the cost of living crisis, Downing Street is only fuelling the rise of Reform, says Guardian columnist Aditya Chakrabortty

It’s crucial now that the left continues to make more of an effort to firmly establish our presence and voice in today’s political landscape.

Slogans characterised by the insistence of representation will never be enough.

The left has known Starmer to be a liar for years, but the deep unpopularity of his government and the rise of Reform UK leads me to fear how the British electorate will vote in the next election.

It’s just so remarkable how inefficient Labour are at handling their optics. Amongst many other reasons, their unpopularity has consistently boiled down to a lack of satisfaction that they serve the interests of the majority of Britons, despite being a self-appointed β€œparty of the working people”.

I feel this may be an unpopular opinion of mine, and I’m also definitely biased given it’s my favourite film, but I don’t think 28 Days Later’s story should have a sequel. Both of the film’s potential endings (I think only a few people will know what I’m talking about) were pretty perfect.

Are you organising for next week's Workplace Day of Action for Palestine? We need it to be the biggest yet.

From lunchtime walkouts, to simply wearing a badge, there are lots of actions to get your colleagues involved. Here's the TUC's suggestions πŸ”½

Ultimately I’m very proud of what this film is gonna be, hopefully I’ll be able to make more films like this in the future.

My sound operator and slate was a fellow (and tbh, better) post-production student called Teddy, he was able to give up a lot of his time to work on my film and for that I’m endlessly grateful.

I mentioned the film was a horror and he expressed a lot of interest in reading the first draft. Given the nature of the film, I didn’t actually think Javan would be too interested but to my surprise he expressed an immense interest in playing the character β€˜Rob’.

My second lead actor was a young man (and friend) I met at Mountview Drama School, he has consistently been one of the most powerful actors I’ve known. When I told Javan about the film I was working on, in one of our catch-ups.

Harry Whapshott (my Co-Director, lead actor and camera operator) was able to read and interpret the script exceptionally well, I couldn’t have asked for a more intelligent and talented person to fill this role.

TEETH: Short Horror Film

On the 28/05/2024, I released the Fine Cut to my student horror film β€˜TEETH’. While the film is yet to be finalised for festivals, I feel I can say this film was an incredibly surreal experience to write.
