Guido hears Netflix is in the early stages of production on a Rupert Murdoch documentary series. According to industry insiders, the Hollywood giants have approached the entire Murdoch family for interviews, with eldest son and heir Lachlan at least “considering” their offer. This was just two days ago, and nothing is yet confirmed…
The rest of the family are reportedly less enthusiastic. Daughter Elizabeth has already turned them down. Perhaps Netflix’s recent exposé on WWE head honcho Vince McMahon is putting the family off. That or the fact they’re currently locked in a bitter lawsuit with Rupert over the keys to the News Corp kingdom…
Starmer spoke to Nick Robinson for the Today Programme on Polanski’s criticism of the Golders Green police officers:
“I want everybody just to imagine what it might be like. You’re trying to arrest someone who has already attacked two people and has no regard for life. We know that tasers were fired. I know from my own experience with the police, that there are only two shots in a taser, and once you’ve shot them, there’s nothing left. There’s a guy on the ground, he’s got a rucksack on. And I don’t know what was going through the mind of those officers, but if I was there, I’d be thinking, he’s going to detonate something. He’s going to blow me up and everybody around here. In those circumstances, I think you can quite see why what could have gone through their mind is, we need to do whatever we can to disable this guy…
Now, when I then see Zack Polanski come out and retweet or support a criticism of that, I think it’s disgraceful… He’s not fit to lead any political party.”
