Episode 2 of Bear and Monk Debunk is out now - a great listen for while you’re cooking dinner, getting yourself ready for the week or just feel like lazing about. Do let us know what you think, we are very open to suggestions! 🐻

If you were loud enough to tell us that Trump would be the best thing to happen to Britain since Magna Carta, then you don’t get to disappear with a “no comment” or a “but geopolitics” or a “no one could have possibly known.” The Bear nails it.

Brooklyn Park police chief Mark Bruley: "We're hearing people being stopped with no cause & being demanded to show paperwork to determine if they're here legally. We started hearing from our police officers the same complaints. Every one of these individuals is a person of color... it has to stop"

🩸🩸🩸 I'm going to post this video every day so we never forget what the POS 34x convicted felon, DEADLY INSURRECTIONIST, adjudicated rapist & pedophile Donald Trump did 🩸🩸🩸

DO NOT BE DISTRACTED & STAY LOUD!!! TRUMP & EPSTEIN ARE SEX TRAFFICKERS!!! I’m gonna post this every day so nobody forgets exactly who Pedophile Trump is and why the Epstein files have suddenly disappeared.

It’s been a helluva week here at Bearly Politics for the editorial team*. Monday was kicked off with reflections on sexy moustaches and mental health - specifically how we can now much more easily say “it’s okay to not be okay”, access to actual help remains patchy. *Me - I’m the editorial team.

Oh dearie me! How shocking? Any ideas of just who, exactly, may have betrayed small business owners? I guess we’ll never know.

This from @bearlypolitics.co.uk is a ferocious take on the whole BBC story. All journalists and politicians should read it, and the govt should do something about it. open.substack.com/pub/iratusur...

If this is true - this should have happened a long time ago. The Green Party alongside campaigners have been calling for this - and it's good to see maybe they've finally listened. Will reserve relief for all children being lifted out of poverty until we know it's happening.

'You don't need me to list the people who could barely conceal their desperate urge for this to be somebody whose identity fit their prejudices...' James O'Brien asks if the police have 'any choice' on revealing the ethnicity or nationality of suspects now.

The select committee report on the asylum hotel shambles highlights a point I made repeatedly - the absurd gimicks pursued by the last govt like Rwanda took resources away from running the actual system properly.

🚨BREAKING : The Green Party has passed 150,000 members 🥳 Thousands are joining right now to help us replace Labour and take the fight to Reform. Are you in? Make hope normal again. Join the Green Party now ⤵️

Braverman deleted this tweet which made me wonder who that previous prisoner was. His name was Junead Ahmed. He was a conman mistakenly released in 2023. She was Home Secretary at the time. Oh. news.sky.com/story/migran...

I published the below deep dive 24 days ago - and somehow it’s already in need of updating with both more racist incidents and more of the flaccid excuses that Reform gives to try and explain them away. “Poorly phrased” my big hairy arse.

Calling someone racist has become the bigger sin than actually being a racist - in my piece below I discuss this phenomenon of “slurification” and a few ideas of how we can push back.

“Let’s be clear, since a lot of people seem to be finding that difficult: most people who get upset if they see black or brown faces in adverts are racists. There are few other reasons for seeing diversity in advertising to bother anyone.” www.thenewworld.co.uk/james-ball-s...

For ‘adverts’, see also: ‘hospitals’, ‘the Cabinet’, ‘kindergartens’, ‘the England football team’ and, of course, ‘the country’. The only way you can miss this is deliberately. And just watch them try.

Hideous.

NEW: Police knew a Kremlin spy ring recruited former leader of Reform Wales at least 3 years ago. So why was Nathan Gill not charged till Feb this year? Pls read part 2 of @thenerve.news special investigation into Nathan Gill. And please share! 1/

To everyone who follows me in the United States - I am thinking of all of you today while you protest against the bright orange geriatric sexual predator/felon squatting in the White House. You have massive solidarity from many millions of people in the United Kingdom. Let them hear you roar!

Happy #Caturday!

Powerful, grubby men using their connections to cover their abuse of a trafficked teenage girl. After all the revelations, it's never "not" shocking. www.dailymail.co.uk/news/royals/...

Absolutely!!!

Oh, for fuck’s sake.

Morning All, This week’s Bearly Newsworthy is out, featuring the brilliant @writesbright.bsky.social and a roundup of headlines that made me question reality and gently tap my head against my study wall - again. Perfect with coffee and mild existential dread. 🐻

Zack Polanski is currently being attacked by The Daily Mail , The Daily Express, Reform and The Labour Party. Take all the time you need to think about it. @zackpolanski.bsky.social

👏 "We've lived here all our lives. And I have never felt so unwelcome in my own hometown as I do since your party came into Caerphilly." "With all the rhetoric that you bring in, I have to say to my sons, please don't go there. Please don't do this." "I blame you for that."

Oh.

The Tory media's shift from hysterically claiming that Starmer *did* intervene in the China spy case to hysterically claiming that Starmer *should* have intervened in the China spy case is a thing to behold.

@mrjamesob.bsky.social please turn trump off. Stop giving him air time. Just absolute s#it coming out his mouth.

Not much of a phone in @mrjamesob.bsky.social get this guy off

Did Netanyahu just say, “May God bless this covenant between America and Israel”? Victory laps at Netanyahu’s coven, while Trump sits there smugly. No one dares ask the obvious, Why did it take the world’s most powerful nation this long to bring Israeli hostages home?

"It was hard seeing the videos of our colleagues returning to their homes, finding them literally in rubble." Gazan aid worker Mai Elawawda tells @krishgm.bsky.social she knows "many people whose bodies were still under the rubble". Read and watch: www.channel4.com/news/ceasefi...
