It is a scandal totally unprecedented in history that the Vice President has shared a video depicting the President as king. It’s an obscene violation of every founding American principle. And nothing will come of it. It makes me physically sick.

Think this one goes in the "good effort, but you win some and you lose some" category. Certainly our best performance at the Amex I can remember for some time. But it's points that count. Disappointing defeat. It's done now. Benfica in the Champions League next. HWTL!! ⚽⚫⚪ #NUFC #BHAFCNEW

One point I want to ram home in this Substack is that things that might seem simple to people are not always easy for autistic people because of our neurodivergence #Autism #adhd #Neurodiversity

I haven't read nearly enough from The Bear in the last week. I'm not sure how this has happened but it feels disconcerting in this ever increasingly mad world. 😇

Oh Chris, this simply will not do - how dare you go against the official narrative of “out of control” welfare spending that the Tories relied on for years to justify Austerity 1.0, and that Labour now seems perfectly content to inherit for Austerity 2.0?

MAGA and the truth have been divorced from each other from the very start.

Reading this post, I realise I am utterly failing in what I set out to do a couple of weeks ago. I can remove my identity from Twitter (Ex) all I want. It hasn't stopped me from engaging in its web of toxicity, lies, half-truths and disinformation. www.bearlypolitics.co.uk/p/bearly-new...

Space is now, literally a premium on Yahoo Mail. No wonder I've been missing emails. "if you want more space to see your messages, go ad free" That's the offer, I suppose. But I do think it's a little bit sneaky.

I don't want to blow my own Trumpet, mainly because I have no Trumpet of my own 😉) but I think this is one of the best bits of writing I've ever done about Autism.

"Apologies if you picked up any offsensive language at home.... Prime Minister" 😳 #itv #engwal

When Employment Services get into GP Surgeries will they be under obligation to refer? Will patients be under obligation to comply? Will this make people feel unsafe to go to their GP? Has any of this been thought through, or are Labour flailing for savings yet again?

Project 2025. It's real. And it's Grim. Trump wanted to implement its ideas from Day 1, aided by the Heritage Foundation. It's an authoritarian nightmare that has irreparably damaged the standing of the United States on the world stage and has the potential to do the same in the UK. Link below

Yea... on balance I'd be happy with a policy reversal on this despite earlier broadly supporting a national ID system. I think Labour should focus on other priorities.

I'll never vote Conservative. But I really wish I could believe Kemi Badenoch when she says she can save Britain from decline. Her party is a major cause og why the country is where it is today. They cannot separate themselves from that.

"15 years ago, Polish workers came here to find opportunity. Now Poland is growing twice as fast as we are," says Kemi Badenoch. Any ideas what may have happened in the interim?

The Conservative Party today explicitly confirms that they are not for people and don't work for the people who don't believe the things they do. This is a malicious speech by a party nowhere near the weakest scent of power.

Confirmed they're against strikes and... the very concept of Unions. #ConservativePartyConference

"Each and every" Adult British Citizen working is a very high bar. I'm sorry but these are simplistic and reductive views on Welfare. #ConservativePartyConference. I'm sickened by what she's saying on Welfare.

As long as a party keeps celebrating Brexit... the country will not go anywhere good. #ConservativePartyConference2025 #ConservativePartyConference

Sickness benefits DO NOT pay more than the minimum wage. The Tories confirm once again they are not for me. #ConservativePartyConference2025

"While Britain was redefining what a woman is". More cheap Anti trans jibes from the Tory Party. #ConservativePartyConference25

"Aren't we great" says failed party of Government of 14 years. #ConservativePartyConference

"Truth. What is truth?" #ToryPartyConference #ConservativePartyConference2025

So, the plan is to cut English, the arts, and sociology - the degrees that actually study culture - while on another part of your platform claiming to “defend” British culture. It’s performance nationalism with a reading age of seven.

Ah. So I see Nigel Farage wants us all to talk about Gary Neville. He probably sees it as an easy form of attack given the "scalp" the right wing press took over Gary Lineker.

Doorbell. Another man from Shelter. This time, I politely but forcefully sent him away. I'm mostly proud of myself after a bad experience a few months ago. A little bad because he's only doing his job. But mostly proud. I will not be sold anything at the door.

Starmer lied to get into power, says Chris Philp. Meanwhile the Tories lied when they were *in* power. Their words are so hollow.

🧵 I think it would help if people stopped ‘feeling’ whether or not a person or party is/was extreme or far right. There’s actually a fairly respected definition. Let me take you through it & then you can decide if someone meets the definition. This is aimed, in particular, at journos [1]

Good God! 😳 He's going to be the next Conservative Party leader.

This is terrifying: herd immunity doesn’t work at such numbers.
