Esther McVey While you faff about doing - actually nothing - but furiously banging your little culture war drum… the rest of us can’t wait to end Tory MPs’ jobs - no more money, time or votes should be wasted on you absolute donkeys.

From the DVD shelves … #RogerCorman

SAD NEWS: We are deeply saddened to share the news that #JAWS star Susan Backlinie aka Chrissie Watkins passed away earlier today, aged 77.

R.I.P. Susan. We'll miss you 💔🦈

#SheWasTheFirst

Roger Corman was part Moses, part PT Barnum, & arguably the most consequential film-maker of the past 100 years. I spoke with him Cannes ages ago, when he was a punkish 85-year-old with lots of movies still to make
theguardian.com/film/2011/may/…

Roger Corman mentored Coppola and Scorsese, employed Bogdanovich as an assistant, gave Joe Dante his first gig, and distributed Jonathan Demme's first three features. The greatest one-man film school of the 20th century, and he somehow lived long enough to see Megalopolis.

Now that’s an influencer. What a crucial figure. I always seem to be watching, and writing about, his Poe adaptations. Thanks for the films and all those great careers. RIP #RogerCorman

Roger Corman, one of the most influential movie directors in my life, has passed away. It was my privilege to know him.He was a great friend. He shaped my childhood with science fiction movies and Edgar Allen Poe epics. I'll miss you, Roger.

Caught this breathtaking shot of the aurora last night 😍

James Cleverly🇬🇧 Yeah right…
The people smugglers - much like you - don’t give a single shit what happens to the desperate people who pay them. And the desperate people risk death to try to get somewhere they hope will be safe. Shame on you for wanting to punish them for that.

#fomootab — Fear of missing out on the aurora borealis.

In the un / likely event you need your love of cinema restored, Made In England should do the trick #powellandpressburger #martinscorsese #curzonmayfair #madeinengland

As you watch the Aurora this evening, it’s worth reflecting that you’re getting a rare direct glimpse of the power of Nature. Those charged particles causing the atmosphere to glow came from a sunspot complex 17 times the diameter of Earth and traveled across 90 million miles at…

Thinking of a few Steve Albini things that still make me laugh: If we (auteurs) did something he considered a bit lame in the studio, he would do a brilliant impression of a hippy pulling on a joint and throwing a frisbee, all in slow motion. It became 'a thing.' Very Steve.

I didn’t see the lights in Tromsø and I didn’t see them in London either 💯 #watchtheskies

this afternoon! the cake is elderflower drizzle, the poems similarly sublime

You know what happens next? We all wake up blind and get attacked by giant psychopathic rubber plants.

We can model these CMEs to try and predict their arrival time at Earth. Currently we think they should arrive this evening and over the weekend (10/11 May). Therefore a G4 (severe geomagnetic storm) warning has been issued - the first time since 2005 (4/n)

Thought I would summarise why there is so much excitement in the space weather community right now. There’s a monstrous sunspot group on the Sun that’s massive enough to be visible to the naked eye (please use eclipse glasses) 🌞 👓 (1/n)

Someone responsible for hemming us in, putting up barriers, removing our rights, limiting our choices, making us poorer and dividing the country…
Someone who calls for us to leave the ECHR…
Someone we can’t vote out.

What an objectionably stupid and pompous little man.

‘Brexit means you’ll be able to hold your own politicians to account’…
except it’ll all be such an almighty screw up, ushering in the worst, most dishonest politics of our lives, that loads of them will do a runner rather than take that risk…

Watch out the rest of you though…
