So. Small change. After two years of running with the slightly cryptic moniker @i_iratus, I’ve officially retired it into a private account. From now on, you’ll find me here as @BearlyPolitics - clearer, calmer, and much easier to explain to people who didn’t grow up reading…
Like so many things given the moniker “Britannia”, the branding screams 🇬🇧"EMPIRE!"🇬🇧, but the experience whispers budget bedsit with a complimentary mildew sampler, a distinct lack of air conditioning and £5 charges for carrying ice upstairs. If this is what @MichelleDewbs…
If suggestions are true re very swanky hotel at Canary Wharf, then I literally don’t know what to say any more. But I am hoping there has simply been a misunderstanding, because SURELY nobody at any level of government would be so stupid as to do that right now, would they? 🤯
Honestly, “dinosaur bear” is the best insult I’ve had all week. Might put it on a t-shirt.

On the other hand, nobody shot my kids today, we don't have the largest prison population on the planet, we aren't the worst polluter in history, our bacon isn't fucking weird, we don't have Florida, our leader isn't a batshit candied yan, and our cheese is ACTUALLY CHEESE.
Hot take: Europe is a bunch of third-world countries with better branding. No A/C. No dryers. Ice is a luxury. You’ll sweat through dinner while the waiter ignores you for 2 hours. Say what you want about America, but at least eating out doesn’t feel like hot yoga with bread.
Right then. Lots to get done before it’s finally time for leave - lock’s on for some distraction-free work. 🐻
