Finding the WSJ writing about benefits weird and suspicious.

Also I wonder if getting all this rush of defense of Brexit is just a master move by Burnham cos I really don’t think the Tories at least get how hated it is.

I think it’s fine to say there was Russian interference and Brexit would have happened without it. They ain’t mutually exclusive

‘Culturally British by my standards’ is one of the most chilling phrases uttered in British politics. Entirely unsurprising to me who it’s from.

I do enjoy how Pierpoint is kinda shoehorned into s4.

Seeing Twitter try to defend the inheritance tax cut at this moment is kinda funny. Like yes British X has had some Kemi delusion take over.

I can’t feel it with Katie Lam and Nick Timothy but ready to hope if those two do something again. (Rishi feels really radical how he acted when Lee Anderson made that comment)

So @stephenkb.bsky.social was right the Milburn review will cost money (which was obvious if you want to fix NEETs) sorry Kemi.

Really baffled by the Tories admitting to loving Jeffrey Archer after you read Hagues statement from 2000.

Why is Kemi throwing money around?

Does Kemi have a problem delegating?

Welcome to the serious fiscal responsibility party, where we believe that what the United Kingdom needs is its own version of the Iron Dome.

Apparently "Kemi" has "fresh solutions" uniquely tailored to Britain's current problems. <excitedly prepares to take notes> Cut taxes, reward the wealthiest, punish the poor and sick, alienate our allies, deregulate big business, and privatise any remaining state function. WAAAAAAIT A MINUTE!

On the main stage at Conservative conference, the shadow transport team is discussing how to “counter” things like 20mph zones and bus lanes. The war on the motorist lives.

You probably should fix the tax cutoff (probably via larger reform) but I think I agree with the argument welfare is too high while giving people childcare is fucking weird

Yes I am never finding that tapestry good. If it was sewn even one frame yes. But it’s AI with crappy “olde” English and annoying projected onto a wall.

I do feel like I’m being gaslit by journalists who are on it and Tories that that tapestry is good.., and then Kemi says she’s explained to Claude how to govern… And I’m like what do they think being so AI is good???

Matthew Powell @thedoctor2016.bsky.social · 04/10/2026
Why the tapestry includes so much Angela Rayner in kinda weird ways: why is she a dragon cos she vapes. I don’t want to say it but the Tories feel very rich people centric again. (Also we weren’t in government guys with the prisoners and Chagos parts)
