And John Cusack rides into town as a sin-soaked horseman […]

DONNA Tartt’s epic Pulitzer-winning novel should have been a cinematic triumph. But it is so dull that it plays out like they are making it up as it goes along.

Shown through the […]

Remainer rage NO MP should feel threatened. We should all agree on that. All sides need to dial down the vitriol. But the orchestrated attempt to blame Boris Johnson for it is cynical hypocrisy on an epic scale. Remainer MPs casually call him “fascist”, “Nazi” or “dictator”. They scream “You should be in jail”, then […]
A LOT of rubbish is talked about what will happen after Brexit. And unfortunately, the future of EU citizens has fallen victim to some inaccurate, sensationalist scaremongering.
