There's been some great classics such as Psychomania and Terror of Mechagodzilla. Also a bunch of excellent new films from around the 🌍 🧵

There were 4 council by-elections yesterday. Reform UK won 0. That makes 240 council by-elections since the General Election, with just 14 seats won by Reform UK. So yeah, the country’s pretty much ignoring him - no matter how hard you lot in the media try to hype him up, journo cvnts. #ukpolitics

Our excavations at Sizewell have uncovered finds that shed light on Medieval Suffolk, from the everyday to the ecclesiastical.
