It's pathetic that Chris Philp and the rest of the Conservative frontbench will not (or cannot) call a racist statement what it is.

Adam Bienkov @adambienkov.bsky.social · 4d

Conservative Shadow Home Secretary Chris Philp repeatedly refusing to say that he thinks Reform MP Sarah Pochin saying she doesn't like seeing black people on TV was racist.

Says he wouldn't use her "language" but it's right for her to express "legitimate concerns" about migration

Not a peep from the Putin Puppet Farage today over his MP’s divisive and racist rhetoric. Not fit to govern.

"Go home” isn’t a policy - it’s a racist chant.

People who are legally living in Britain should never be told they don’t belong.

Prostate cancer is the most common cancer in men, and many people in South East Cornwall asked me to meet with Prostate Cancer UK to discuss this issue further.

We discussed the issues facing men at risk of prostate cancer and the importance of early diagnosis.

Some politicians and commentators continue to denigrate London and talk our great city down, but the facts show a very different picture.

The number of homicides in London in the first nine months of 2025 was lower than in any year since monthly records began 22 years ago.

A graphic reporting: fewest homicides in London since monthly records began. The number of homicides in London between January to September 2025 is the lowest in the first 9 months of any year since monthly records began in 2003.

I've written for @uniofbathipr.bsky.social blog about why the @appgfairelections.bsky.social's blueprint for a "National Commission on Electoral Reform" avoids the pitfalls of previous electoral reform efforts (e.g. the Jenkins Commission), and offers a way for British politics to escape from FPTP

Why a “National Commission” is the way forward for electoral reform

Electoral reform is back on the UK’s political agenda as First-Past-the-Post strains under the pressures of multi-party politics. The new APPG for Fair Elections proposes a National Commission to e…

Also wtf is it with the right at the moment that every time they are called out on their policies or actions, their response is to cry about how unfair it is that someone else dare criticise them the same way they criticise others?

Mone now, Farage yesterday. Their playbook is dismally clichéd

Perfectly sums up populists like Reform, a better Britain is made through hard work, rolling your sleeves up and setting the course for years ahead, not simplistic solutions and easy answers.

There is not GE tomorrow, but this poll serves as yet another reminder that Reform, on 27% of the vote, could be the largest party. Labour is insane if it doesn’t seriously pursue proportional representation.
