The glamorous TV host, the web of influence and a mysterious trip to Moscow – inside the downfall of Reform’s disgraced MEP Ahead of a critical Welsh byelection for Reform next week, part two of our investigation into Nathan Gill uncovers the web of Russian influence that encircled him – and asks why it took so long to cha...

A brilliant read. How many links to Russia does Reform have?

Over on my patreon I’m taking questions for an AMA. On Friday there’s a live chat with the middle tiers. There’s also our episodes covering The Highlanders, The Underwater Menace, a special looking at the missing seconds from I Claudius with Paul V and loads of other bits and bobs. (1/2)

There’s a hell of a lot of good novels out there. I wonder what prompted the BBC to take an interest in this one?

Blimey - I really need to have another look at that then. Gah! Why do I always learn these things when I’m away on holiday?

Vance meets with Pope Francis on Easter Sunday after tangling sharply over migration The meeting came after Vance, who converted to Catholicism in 2019, met Saturday with the Vatican's No. 2 official amid tensions for the Trump administration's crackdown on migrants.

Nothing suspicious about this…

We didn’t hear the question he was asked. This might be a case of his comments not being presented with the full context, but time will tell…

Time for the Society of Authors to call this what it is: theft.

He’s amazing. Among his lesser known works I’d highly recommend The Spy In Black (available on ITV Hub) and Contraband (which is difficult to track down, but an imported DVD pops up on eBay now and again). Both are phenomenal in different ways.

…and, of course, there’s also the alternative colour grade of Spearhead that’s gone missing in action.

The loss of that alternative title sequence is a real pity. And the absence of the Spearhead trailers is odd, given that other continuity from 1999 is included.

It looks so much better than I ever thought it could. And I’ve just had a quick glance at Inferno, which also looks remarkable. Huge thanks!

@petercrockersvs.bsky.social I’m just taking a look at Ambassadors 4 and I’m blown away by how much better it looks. You’ve done amazing work!

Very good news, but goodness knows if that means we’ll get every missing episode animated. The Crusade may not be the only one to appear on The Collection only as a recon.

JD Vance attacks Europe over free speech and migration The vice-president's speech at the Munich Security Conference was denounced by several European leaders.

β€œDemocracy rests on the sacred principle that the voice of the people matters,” said JD #Vance. And we can all recall his boss sticking to that principle in 2020. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...
