Hearts move eight points clear at the top of the Scottish Premiership after a well-deserved win over Celtic.

Could the Old Firm's 40-year domination of the top-flight finally be coming to an end

The news that Shane Blackโ€™s new film is called Play Dirty is reason enough to remind everyone that Andre De Tothโ€™s Play Dirty is one of the greatest (and bleakest) war films ever made.

The book read like an allegory for the war on terror. The powers granted to secret/covert agencies at that time, to lock people up without demonstrating evidence or trial. Iโ€™m not sure the story feels so pertinent to whats happening now.

โ€˜Nobody believes in the future any moreโ€™: Adam Curtis and Ari Aster on how to wake up from the post-truth nightmare Paranoia is exploited to control us. Movies are groomed to flatter us.

Our actual enemies *and* the BBCโ€™s commercial rivals hate everything that makes it important & valuable. (And they donโ€™t help themselves much these days in all sorts of ways.)
But this is a crucial test of the current governmentโ€™s resolve.

They are arguing, endlessly, that illegally inciting acts of terror online is โ€˜free speechโ€™ while silencing dissent, targeting journalists & telling an invaded ally what he is & is not allowed to say during a live television broadcast are all fine.

It's been obvious since January 6 that he was an enemy of the USA, the UK & the whole of the free world. Everybody still in his camp understands this as completely as everybody against it. They just prioritise personal interest over the national & international. And they know it. They all know it.

He is not just appeasing Putin, he is aligned with him. And every single client journalist, political shill & public/online cheerleader on both sides of the Atlantic is too. Against Zelensky. Against Ukraine. Against freedom. Against the most basic tenets of decency.

Trump blames Ukraine for Russia invasion: โ€˜These are the Kremlinโ€™s talking pointsโ€™ In a press conference from his Mar-a-Lago home, Donald Trump has said Ukraine is to blame for Russiaโ€™s invasion, and that it shouldnโ€™t be represented at peace talks with Vladimir Putin.

"There will come a moment where the West has to say to Donald Trump, sorry, you're just spouting what Putin thinks, and we can't allow this to happen."

But when will that be?

DOGE recommended firing workers at:

-FDA, which oversees Neuralink

-FAA, which oversees SpaceX

-USAID, which probed Starlink

-CFPB, which oversees Tesla's financing arm and a potential payment platform on X.

"Conflict of interest" is a severe understatement.

So much to love about last night:

A great team performance.

Brilliant support from the fans.

Veltman wiping out Cucurella.

Lamptey bossing Neto.

Chelsea fans totally absent from the tenth minute.

Hinshelwood getting back to his best.

Full game replay on ITV X.

Up the Albion.
