‘The Cat in the Hat’ Review: Bill Hader Leads an Animated Dr. Seuss Comedy So Overstuffed It’s Like a Marvel Movie for Tots
The new "Cat in the Hat," it goes without saying at this point, makes no attempt to be a faithful adaptation of Dr. Seuss’s most fabled books. That would simply be too quaint for our buzzy, mercurial, attention-crashing, video-games-on-Ritalin era. Yet even as the movie departs all too eagerly from the innocent wildness of the Seuss books, it devotes itself, with a corporate diligence that’s the opposite of free-spirited, to mimicking the scale and spirit and plot setups of too many familiar blockbusters. It’s a mish-mosh of pop recycling.

All aboard with Kaptain Kemi, lost at sea on the good ship amnesia
Launching a defence plan on a rusty sloop, and dogged by a UK Iron Dome that never was, the Tory leader has forgotten her party’s 14 years in power HMS Wellington. A decommissioned Grimsby-class sloop from the second world war. A warship that has been moored on the Thames, going nowhere for the best part of 80 years. Today’s venue for the leader of the opposition to explain why the Conservative party hollowed out defence spending throughout their time in office. Sorry. Scrub that. To welcome in a brave new world order. Come aboard the good ship Badenoch. There are times when you wonder if the Tory media team have been infiltrated by Labour HQ. Still, we might as well enjoy it while we can. After a brief introduction from the loyal but dim Lieutenant “Steady as she goes, chaps and chapesses” James Cartlidge, who – for reasons not even he fully understands – is the shadow defence secretary

King tells Commonwealth leaders that Britain’s role in slave trade was ‘shameful’ but stops short of apology – UK politics live
Speech by Charles marks formal opening of Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting (Chogm) in Antigua Q: Do you think the UK should reconsider Commonwealth membership, given other countries just keep asking us for slavery reparations? Badenoch said she did not agree with that “because most Commonwealth countries aren’t doing this”. China did all sorts of things. It’s not out there apologising. The purpose of the apology is to make us look weak. It is to make this country look weak. And once we start looking weak, then we have every man and his dog making demands and sending us an invoice, which the British taxpayer has to pay. Continue reading...

I’d all but forgotten my ‘altercation’ with Nigel Farage. But since he mentions it, here’s what happened | Caroline Voaden
His boorish behaviour towards me typifies the politics of Reform UK: this is a party full of disdain for parliament, its people and its traditions Caroline Voaden is the Liberal Democrat MP for South Devon I got an unexpected message last week from a former colleague whom I haven’t heard from in 20 years. I was all over her TikTok, she said, so she reached out to say hi. Such was the furore caused by Nigel Farage bizarrely raising an incident that took place in the House of Commons nearly six months ago that I suddenly found myself trending on social media. That had not been on my bingo card for budget week. I was at home, having just got back from London, when I received a message telling me that Farage had referenced “the incident”. I looked at the footage of his press conference and was completely dumbfounded. Because this “physical altercation”, as he described it, was something I’d
