10,000 people hoped “Our Party” might offer a new left home. Mr Pecksniff was right: it imploded due to leadership flaws and factionalism. But the desire for a credible left alternative hasn’t gone away. David Jobbins letter to the editor. — @eastangliabylines.co.uk @davidj2024.bsky.social

Rewatched Island of Dr Moreau, and I am blown away by how the crew apparently complained that Marlon Brando made his own modifications to the costumes like this incredible ice bucket hat his character uses to keep cool in the jungle heat. Pure camp genius, they should have thanked him.
