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 · 22/01/2026“We’re going to struggle to get on board with this Greenland thing tbh - but here’s a thing you could slag Britain off about that we could get behind”. 130
Ben Capper @bencapper.bsky.social · 22/01/2026I assumed this’d been Farage tbh. But there you go. 260
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 · 01/12/20253. The economy is doing terribly, but not THAT terribly (in which case I would suggest speaking to any small business owner, anyone who works in the public sector, or anyone who isn't a multi-millionaire) 010
Ben Capper @bencapper.bsky.social · 01/12/20252. Actually we did an excellent job of running the economy - unlike this lot (in which case, why is literally everything falling to bits?) 100
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 · 19/02/2025Totally unable to see a result through to either half or full time atm. 000
Ben Capper @bencapper.bsky.social · 19/02/2025There no way back for Trump from this… Episode 60000000 000
Ben Capper @bencapper.bsky.social · 14/02/2025Just so I totally understand Darren Grimes here (very important to be fair minded): We should be LESS worried about a nuclear armed tyrant committing war crimes in Europe, and MORE worried about woke things. This is a political movement that has completely lost its marbles. 182
Ben Capper @bencapper.bsky.social · 14/02/2025Who is the first prominent Conservative (not Reform - we know where they stand) MP going to be to do a bit on GB News or a Telegraph article lining up behind appeasing Putin?It will happen... 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 · 05/02/2025Yeah it’s not like there was anything to go of was there 000
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
