Sean Kemp
Advised the Lib Dems during coalition. Somehow still able to get work
- Reposted by Sean KempSW1: 'The Keminaissance! That More in Common poll that definitely wasn't an outlier!' Actual public: 'The party that has people joining it and a clear message is doing better than the one that doesn't'.
- This is interesting. But also, my goodness, Shriti Vadera was a big fan of caps lock
- Nothing is more Kemi Badenoch than beginning a speech by attacking others for 'psychodrama' then dedicating a chunk of it to slagging off some centrist members of your own party for politely suggesting some policy ideas.
- This is good and, more generally, it's always welcome to have someone talking about AI and politics that has actually worked in both AI and politics.
- I disagree with the vast majority of this thread, but this is true. So many non-fiction books on current topics contain huge amounts of padding
- Also, no ‘best Traitor ever’ discussion should take place without the first Australian series being mentioned
- I still don't understand how a roomful of British people responded to "I've been trained by the FBI" with credulous awe and wonderful rather than "and my dad was taught karate by Bruce Lee." She's been so lucky in her opponents www.theguardian.com/tv-and-radio...
- I’m sure it’ll be fine if we just announce Trump as the winner of The Traitors
- The thing about the Grid is that it’s not just meant to be just a comms tool. The idea really is that it also gives Downing St oversight of what departments are doing and more central grip. If you’re just letting gaps in the Grid dictate the No10 agenda then the whole thing is working backwards.
- Badenoch has missed a trick not doing her sacking Jenrick video like his fare dodging one. Chasing him through Portcullis House saying 'you're bang to rights'.
- If the government genuinely believes this stat then boy am I confused about what they think the next election is going to look like for them
- Reposted by Sean Kempthis thread has the most incredible levels of american bluesky I've ever seen. no need to have an opinion on any of it. just sit back and enjoy.
- Reposted by Sean KempFive RTs. Six Likes. It would be more cost effective for Defra comms officials to dial random phone numbers and launch into a spiel about otters or whatever.
- Reposted by Sean KempNot saying there's unconscious racial bias in this country but... #TheTraitors
- These are all boring dad choices?

- Reposted by Sean Kempnot the kind of behavior I expect from the winner of the fifa peace prize
- My gut instinct on this is that so much of the Reform surge is down to the power of Farage's personality that there are maybe three or four Tories where this is actually a risk. For the rest I just think it adds to their sense of momentum
- As this great thread is doing the rounds again, for me it will always be this
- Reposted by Sean KempRelatedly, one of the most tedious things people do is go 'wow. How profound. My pre-school child, who I literally taught to speak and whose brain is a highly powerful and retentive sponge, has paraphrased my politics back at me in a cute way'. I mean, no kidding.
- Reposted by Sean KempMan, the Bluesky Wrapped 2025 is pretty brutal
- This, from the FT, is almost the perfect encapsulation of what is so maddening about this government. ‘If a convenient thing had happened we wouldn’t have had to agree to do something which we actually think is stupid.’
- Does he also believe in the Tooth Fairy? That, and other questions raised by this excellent piece: www.ft.com/content/cc83...
- Reposted by Sean Kempi’m setting you free. i’m releasing you from the discourse
- Reposted by Sean KempYour boyfriend tells Susie Dent that she absolutely nailed her word of the day
- Introduce a tax on parliamentary speeches that have a call and response bit
- Definitely gives me more confidence in the OBR’s numbers to know they can’t tell the time
- Reposted by Sean KempOMG. The Guardian have confused Kenneth Clark, presenter of the 1969 series 'Civilisation' with Tory ex-MP & former Chancellor Kenneth Clarke in their review of the new BBC series 'Civilisations:Rise & Fall'
- Reposted by Sean KempLatest piece for the @thehousemag.bsky.social, on the island of strangers speech and similar. Also ft Bob Hawke. www.politicshome.com/opinion/arti...
- I have had to pop over to X to stop you posting that bloody Guardian screenshot about Starmer
- Not sure if there’s ever been a list of ‘worst political briefings of all time’ but what has come out of No10 this evening is a high new entry
- Reposted by Sean KempOn the left, the refurbished Lincoln bathroom. On the right, picture I took in Saddam Hussein's palace in Basra in 2005.
- Man, this person in No10 really wants to get something off their chest about a career bureaucrat who takes ages to make decisions for some reason that I can’t quite put my finger on
- If you’re going to post a supposedly unhinged literary opinion. Please make it unhinged, I’m just getting quote tweets with stuff like ‘EM Forster was a bit overrated’.
- Slightly amazed at his description of this as a ‘low-level mistake’. Just a completely untrue implication of Government corruption on prime-time TV. No biggie! www.theguardian.com/tv-and-radio...
- Reposted by Sean KempIt'll be wild when Charlotte Church reveals she's been pretending to be Welsh this entire time #TheTraitorsUK #CelebrityTraitors
- Have had it up to here with people who think telling you off for pointing out racist things are racist makes them the modern day equivalent of Philip Gould.
- We have another “Let Keir Be Keir” quote by a cabinet member doing the rounds. As any student of politics knows, the moment this appears the politician in question is doomed
- If Labour MPs really are approvingly sharing the essay here then maybe the problem isn’t Starmer
- Come for the really good essay by Patrick Maguire, stay for the really bad one being shared (approvingly!!) by some Labour MPs: www.thetimes.com/comment/colu...
- Reposted by Sean KempThere is huge market share for the Lib Dem’s to run with the motto of “enough of this American nonsense let’s be sensible British people Again” and not sure anyone’s weird arguments that specific voters should be chased is needed at all.
