Hi @Cineworld โ please reconsider removing Unlimited Friends & Family booking tomorrow.
Booking together lets groups secure adjacent seats, especially for busy screenings.
Your current terms still allow this for up to five members. Why remove it, and will it return?
If youโre affected too, thereโs now a petition asking Cineworld to reconsider โ and a growing Unlimited member discussion raising the same concern about keeping groups seated together.

Without external guardrails, PR, like Trumpism, "becomes just a child with a handgun โฆ lets make representative democracy fit for our times".

The parallels between Johnson/Cummings and Trump/Musk are obvious and Muskโs appointment will no doubt end acrimoniously.
These petitions became pointless under the Tories but Iโm open to trying again with the new government especially following Trumpโs win.

Badenoch is so very very graceless. Whatโs to be gained from sneering at another womanโs achievement like this? Reeves has smashed a glass ceiling, just like she has. Maybe celebrate all of that rather than being so dismissively grim.
The Tories know they can play on the NI increase and MSM is facilitating that.
Why isnโt anyone comparing these proposed increases to increases in minimum wage?
One increase is much more significant to the cost of business than other but only the NI increase is criticised.
Where were all the Tories calling for the equitable support of small business owners as โworking peopleโ when Rishi Sunak excluded directors from the furlough scheme during Covid?

Be a real pity if #FarageRiots was to trend above Reform on the day their conference begins wouldn't it.
Really hope that doesn't happen.
Be a real downer.
Sad.
This is best analysis I've read about the recent riots what the future holds.

I totally get the arguments (I think) against invoking comparisons with the darkest days of our history.

Odd decision to discuss Olympic boxing gender eligibility on the @theJeremyVine show.
Storm Huntley knew a little but it was fairly clear that Tice and Vine had only absorbed a few headlines.
We owe it to all the people impacted to do better than that.
It's not the not knowing the Spanish national anthem doesn't have lyrics that makes you the thickest person in the country, it's that your original instinct was to take to X complain with no regard for whether that might be the case.
On July 4, something remarkable happened in Oxfordshire - the 'blue' was fully drained from the county and it's political landscape turned on its head
