Ben Capper @bencapper.bsky.social · 07/04/2026Yes but it was super cringe when Kamala had Beyoncé at her campaign rally. 000
Ben Capper @bencapper.bsky.social · 26/01/2026Political / football hot take. Andy Burnham is Xabi Alonso to Kier Starmer’s Arne Slot. Popular choice that would immediately improve the mood in the short term but doubts persist as to the long term viability of the change… 000
Ben Capper @bencapper.bsky.social · 01/12/2025Last week: "The economy is doing terribly: Reeves must resign" This week: "The economy is doing better than expected: Reeves must resign" And people say @teamlabouruk.bsky.social 's comms are incoherent. 000
Ben Capper @bencapper.bsky.social · 01/12/2025Something about the Tories' (and their press friends') "Reeves lied" thing doesn't quite add up. What are they saying exactly: 1. Actually the economy is doing brilliantly (in which case, doesn't that slightly invalidate their central claim) 100
Ben Capper @bencapper.bsky.social · 30/09/2025I think it’s also important to remember apropos of nothing in particular that moment in the 2015 labour leadership election when Andy Burnham was asked what his favourite biscuit is and he said “I prefer beer, chips and gravy”. 020
Ben Capper @bencapper.bsky.social · 05/06/2025I actually gave “Trump / Musk” 18 months. They’ve barely made 6. 020
Ben Capper @bencapper.bsky.social · 16/03/2025Well played Newcastle. Glad we got a goal at least. Good finish by Chiesa tbf. 020
Ben Capper @bencapper.bsky.social · 13/03/2025“Hopefully Vladimir Putin will do the right thing”. The master deal maker strikes again. 000
Ben Capper @bencapper.bsky.social · 11/03/2025PSG probably deserved that overall tbf. Worrying thing is losing after a 2 hour match (and losing 2 key players) 4 days before a final… 000
Ben Capper @bencapper.bsky.social · 09/03/2025“You never know, Man U might do us a favour” something every #lfc fan has (wrongly) thought at some point… 040
Ben Capper @bencapper.bsky.social · 01/03/2025Gotta say Apple, big fan of the new “security delay” feature on the new iPhone. Always wanted the ability to wait an entire hour before being able to reset my password so I can watch a film. 000
Ben Capper @bencapper.bsky.social · 28/02/2025Whilst Starmer did kind of well yesterday - and I admire him for trying his best - it’s pretty obvious now that the Trump admin aren’t on our side, and sadly no amount of letters from the King or state visits are going to change that. 100
Ben Capper @bencapper.bsky.social · 25/02/2025Very clever of the Leader of HM Opposition there to use a moment of profound national importance and unity to remind the nation of the main talking points from a mad speech she gave at a right wing think tank. Leadership. 000
Ben Capper @bencapper.bsky.social · 19/02/2025Really want #lfc to get back to going ahead and winning the game. I liked that. Not a terrible result all things considered. 000
Ben Capper @bencapper.bsky.social · 19/02/2025There no way back for Trump from this… Episode 60000000 000
Ben Capper @bencapper.bsky.social · 14/02/2025One thing to keep a close political eye on are the contortions that the Conservative leadership are going to be putting themselves through - to retain the status as Trump fanboys AND close allies of Ukraine.... 120
Ben Capper @bencapper.bsky.social · 12/02/2025I said if Liverpool keep their heads and play their way they’ll win. They did neither. Fair play to the blues. They deserved a point. 000
Ben Capper @bencapper.bsky.social · 12/02/2025Well. Ok. 7 points clear. At least it’s over. Disappointing. #lfc 020
Ben Capper @bencapper.bsky.social · 12/02/2025Fair to say Liverpool are “playing the occasion” at the moment. 000
Ben Capper @bencapper.bsky.social · 09/02/2025I mean. I’m not massively devastated about going out of the Cup. But going out to Plymouth = not ideal. 000
Ben Capper @bencapper.bsky.social · 06/02/2025The absolute last thing #lfc need tonight is extra time and pennos… 030
Ben Capper @bencapper.bsky.social · 04/02/2025If only there was some way of knowing what Trump would’ve been like in advance of all this? 000
Ben Capper @bencapper.bsky.social · 18/01/2025Obviously with spelling here you all know I’m referring to Darwen the town in Lancashire. I have also, coincidentally; rated Darwin 000
Ben Capper @bencapper.bsky.social · 17/01/2025The White Room by Cream. Eric Clapton’s only good song. 000
Ben Capper @bencapper.bsky.social · 14/01/2025Been a bit concerned about Liverpool’s form last few weeks. First half was worried. Second half performance was way better. Really do need to stop conceding early goals again though. Bad habit that’s crept back in… 010
Ben Capper @bencapper.bsky.social · 14/01/2025Anyone else noticing the proliferation of very obviously AI “children eating fish and chips wrapped in newspaper” images on “Britain: the good old days” Facebook groups? 000
Ben Capper @bencapper.bsky.social · 08/01/2025I’m…. getting a bit concerned over Liverpool’s inability to keep a clean sheet… 000
Ben Capper @bencapper.bsky.social · 07/01/2025Ok. So whilst I don’t underestimate how bad and long the next 4 years of politics is *definitely* going to be: 210
Ben Capper @bencapper.bsky.social · 05/01/2025That did seem like a classic “head’s gone” performance from Trent… 000
Ben Capper @bencapper.bsky.social · 30/12/2024Can a Middle Aged British man survive 5 days in Denmark with no suitcase (thanks Manchester Airport)? People, we are about to find out. 120
Ben Capper @bencapper.bsky.social · 18/12/2024It’s 10:48 on 18th December and I’ve finished work for the year. 000
Ben Capper @bencapper.bsky.social · 10/12/2024How come #lfc are “all but” qualified or “on the verge” of qualification for the round of 16? Surely it’s done now right? There’s no mathematical way we can not qualify is there? 220
Ben Capper @bencapper.bsky.social · 07/12/2024What a day that was then* Shame not to win but great to be shortlisted again. Either way. The best day in the comms calendar by a mile and so lovely to see and chat to so many great comms people. What a community. And as for @comms2point0.bsky.social - what a guy. *channeling Curtis Jones 242
