Watched ROBIN HOOD: PRINCE OF THIEVES (1991) properly for the first time.

I like to think they told Kevin Costner they were making a serious film and everyone else they were making a Carry On

Me last August:

I can imagine a situation developing where Labour MPs are marshalled into supporting one “tough” minor decision after another; because none of them are part of an inspiring overarching message, they struggle to defend them to their constituents; then such is the hostility to them locally that, as the really tough decisions start to be made, they either press for u-turns or rebel; worried about this trend, Starmer tries to reset his premiership with a big speech about his vision for the country, only for almost every question he takes from journalists to be: “Isn’t this just snakeoil, Prime Minister?” Similar to the Tories in the last Parliament, despite having a large majority this government only really tinkers with the foundations — especially given big tax-raising measures are off the table, as well as any economically meaningful reset with the EU.
