Welshman, 35, brutally honest, unapologetic, won't hold back. Cinephile. Quizzer. Writer. Etc.

Awful news about the death of Bèla Tarr. Only serious cinephiles will be familiar with him, but at his best, he was on level with the likes of Kubrick & Scorsese. The 7 hour Satantango perhaps his crowning achievement. Werckmeister Harmonies & The Turin Horse splendid too.

Anyone else think Jeremy Hunt looks like Anthony Perkins. #Peston

Fix cost of living crisis, esp food effectively.
Much cheaper water and energy bills.
No foreign aid increase.
Rescinding of 10s of thousands minimum of asylum claims of Channel crossers + speedy deportations.
Bus fare cap.
Burnham does all them, he may just get my vote.

@10DowningStreet @bphillipsonMP NO FOREIGN AID INCREASE. Red line 1.

@Peston @YouTube If he can find a way to bring the price of a double pack of McVities dark chocolate digestives back to £2, he's doing well.

Louise Haigh getting the gig of Chancellor of the Duchy. In some cases, a second and last chance at rehabilitation is justified. This is one of them.

[Richard Chester (a theoretical Brit) @RACNOAPOLOGIES]

Well Andy Burnham has started off well by making John Healey Chancellor. Didn't expect that. Better him than Miliband and Mahmood. Bonus points for kicking out Lammy.

If you're going to do a BBC advert asking what it has done for you to defend the licence fee, Romesh Ranganathan, who is no John Cleese whatsoever, may not be the ideal person to headline it. Diane Morgan or Michael McIntyre maybe would've been more popular choices.

Next book to read likely will be by an author named John. Unsure if it's le Carre or Irving or someone else. Of course may change my mind.

With Spain making history for this century, this tournament may have been the worst advert for Argentina's tourism industry since Liam Payne #WorldCupFinal

[Richard Chester (a theoretical Brit) @RACNOAPOLOGIES]

The power of Christopher Nolan. $264m ww start for #TheOdyssey. On course for a billion. Hardly go nowadays on opening weekend but will see it soon, even if Helen of Troy (or more Helen IF Troy) has been severely miscast. Lupita Nyong'o? Unreal. Emma Mackey obvious choice there.

[Richard Chester (a theoretical Brit) @RACNOAPOLOGIES]

If Argentina go a goal ahead, they will win. But good luck England. May be Welsh but will always support a British side. Just a pity it's not on ITV. #ENGARG

Finally got round to watching Sentimental Value on Thursday. Really good movie. Renate Reinsve just superb. Love the scene when Stellan Skarsgard gives his grandson copies of Irreversible & The Piano Teacher. #letterboxd #film #cinema #norway

@jonsopel @BBCBreakfast Another legend of my childhood gone. But a legacy to be proud of. Heartbreaking news.

[Richard Chester (a theoretical Brit) @RACNOAPOLOGIES]

Gutted at the death of Dermot Murnaghan. Watched him as a child on the ITV news, including the day Diana died. Old enough to remember a programme called The Big Story, which had a chilling opening title featuring a panther, but knowing he hosted it calmed me down. Legend.

Prince Harry after he failed to destroy the Daily Mail. Don't even dare ask your daddy for a penny.

Our Children - good
Moneyball - very good

England, land of HP Sauce, George Orwell, Del Boy and Stonehenge, are losing 1-0 to the DRC, a country known for Ebola, being a low scoring answer on Pointless and, er, that's it. Get a grip, you numptys.

Keir Starmer was like Churchill compared to Theresa May. That was the worst Prime Minister we ever had in case eight years ago was forgotten.

[Richard Chester (a theoretical Brit) @RACNOAPOLOGIES]

Why don't under 16s watch movies instead of using social media? Introduce a 13 year old to The Shawshank Redemption or The Godfather or The Silence of the Lambs or Heat and then recommend it to their mates and then talk about it the next day at school.

[Richard Chester (a theoretical Brit) @RACNOAPOLOGIES]

Not enough words to describe those responsible for the killing of beautiful Preston Davey. 14 months old! The worst of the worst. A whole life tariff demanded for Jamie Varley. His partner can rot too. No mercy should be spared for either of the scum. Genuinely sickening case.
