1 hour ago Ungovernable by Simon Hart review: A tale of brothels, backbiting, and Conservative politics

The revelations are out from Simon Hart’s book: The Political Diaries of a Chief Whip. There’s the one about being woken at 4am by an MP who was being held in a Bayswater brothel by blackmailers, not to be confused with another MP, Mark Menzies, who found it difficult to extricate himself from “bad people” and allegedly paid for his release from local party funds (which he denied); then there was Rishi Sunak’s observation about the female minister promoted to the Cabinet who was “f***ing useless but we can’t get rid of her” — which may or may not have been Kemi Badenoch.

A Complete Unknown’s best actor nominee might lose out on the prize to The Brutalist favorite Adrien Brody but his journey to the stage has been award-worthyOn Sunday, Timothée Chalamet could become, at 29 years, two months and three days, the youngest best actor winner in Oscar history. But whether or not his performance as Bob Dylan in A Complete Unknown beats out presumed frontrunner Adrien Brody – the current youngest best actor, at 29 years, 11 months and nine days in 2003 – Chalamet has already won arguably the most important prize of modern movie stardom: the hearts and minds of the internet.If we’re in the business of giving out awards for deserving, boundary-pushing work, then Chalamet’s best actor campaign – unofficial and often unspoken efforts to sway awards voters and build public sentiment – deserves its own Oscar.
