Heseltine at the Tory conf:

"Fascists of the 30s are back... Trump's language coincides with words here... The immigrant has replaced the Jew as the problem. We must make clear we will never have any part in the populist extremism of Farage... We don't need Trump's mouthpiece anywhere near No. 10.”

Just when you think the Tories' most unintelligible nonsense of the day was failing to spell the name of the country they recently so roundly shafted, and profess to hope to do so again, enter Robert Jenrick MP!

Trust me, abolishing the Sentencing Council would be moronic.

We have an independent judiciary in this country. Robert Jenrick wants puppet judges.

The Conservative Party once believed in the rule of law and our shared British values - no longer.

Robert Jenrick holds up a judges wig like a puppet during his speech to the Conservative Party Conference.

Contrast the headline in the Daily Mail (see last post) with the email that Lib Dem party members have just received.

Hatred, division and anger only win if we let them. Don’t let these liars tear us apart. Stand together with love, tolerance and respect. They cannot beat that.

Irresponsible, wilfully deceiving, shameful nonsense from the Daily Mail. I shouldn’t be surprised anymore but it’s fair enough to be appalled.

Community policing and calling an obvious genocide what it is didn’t cause this madman to commit this heinous act against innocent members of our society.

What a heartbreaking story. The withdrawal from Afghanistan remains a stain on the recent history of the west.

The Taliban are backward, misogynistic bigots that sully the name of a beautiful faith.

These are the monsters that Farage would pay money to. Abhorrent.

And they don’t like that because it doesn’t fit into their narrative of individualistic exceptionalism. So they scrabble around and come up with nonsense about the envelope rule. A rule that has helped them more than it hasn’t over the years. The better TEAM won. End of.

Phil Clemo @philclemo.bsky.social · 9d

The 2025 Ryder Cup showed what is so often true in this competition. They are player for player better but we are by far the and away the better team. When they win it is the sheer weight of that individual talent that gets them home and that nearly worked yesterday. Europe won as a team on days 1&2

The contrast of those soaring American skyscrapers, so synonymous with vision, looking to the future and ambition for all those who want to participate in the American project with gangs of state funded goons looking to arrest someone on suspicion of being a bit brown is striking and sad.

Watching Luke Donald trying to be professional in his interview as his team were wetting themselves laughing at the European fans singing “Are you watching Donald Trump?”

That was excellent 😂

Be under no illusion: the Americans launched an amazing comeback effort but to come to New York and win the Ryder Cup is absolutely massive. Brilliant result!

GET IN THERE LADS!!!

Isn’t the problem that both of the parties frankly are a bit corrupt in that regard? There are far too many vested interests at play in the upper echelons of both. The Dems have better political policies but as an organisation there’s still an awful lot about them that stinks.

Phil Clemo @philclemo.bsky.social · 11d

Turns out Bryson DeChambeau’s “Heil mein Führer” routine didn’t bring the results he hoped for. He won bugger all and Europe have a 5 1/2 to 2 1/2 lead 💪💪

A very long way to go but a great start for Team Europe today! Keep it up lads!

Justin Rose, as ever, a legend.
