It is important to hold right-wing grifters like Farage to account.
I write books, films and make podcasts. Happily mediocre

Why are the right wing only screaming about the first?

Kindness, compassion, and empathy are the things we should be spreading right now. The world is full of division. Let's all please give less time and energy to those promoting hate and shame and more time helping those who truly need it. 🙏🏻❤️

It's sometimes the only way to connect and not feel so alone. #mentalhealth #mentalhealthawareness #selfcare

Just in case no one told you today, please know you matter more than you think and your more loved than you feel. Be kind to yourself, you're doing your best

Imagine if we championed our loved ones the same way champion celebs. Who in your life could use that support today?

Some days, you feel like you want to disappear, but really, all you want is to be seen. If this is you today, I'm sending you lots of love and want you to know you are not alone.

Staying positive doesn't mean you are happy all the time.

Shoutout to all the anxious students and parents collecting their A-level results today. I know there will be some who will have found today challenging, whatever happens, these results DO NOT define you, and you will find your path.

For anyone who is being hard on themselves right now.
Giles Paley-Phillips (@eliistender10.bsky.social)
Just to say, it's really ok to mess up or make mistakes sometimes. It's part of life, and often, those experiences allow you to grow as a person. So, pick yourself up, dust yourself down, and go again.
Giles Paley-Phillips (@eliistender10.bsky.social)
And try not to let anyone make you feel different.

Sending lots of love to anyone who needs to hear it today. We're in challenging times right now, and we have to make more effort to look out for one another and show the best sides of humanity, empathy, compassion, kindness, and encouragement. These are vital.

For anyone who needs to hear this today, you matter more than you think, you are more courageous than you believe, you are smarter than you give yourself credit for, you are not as alone as you feel.

Stop saying everything happens for a reason. I lost most of my family before the age of 20. Trauma didn’t shape me, it broke me open. People wake in fear every day. That’s not fate. It’s cruelty. but we go on, we build. Not because it was meant to be, but because we choose to live anyway.
Giles Paley-Phillips (@eliistender10.bsky.social)
If you're wrong, admit it If you're grateful, say it If you love someone, tell them If you learn something, pass it on If you see wrong, try to make it right If you're struggling, reach out If someone is despondent, encourage them.

We give so much weight to our fears, doubts, and worst-case scenarios, often without a shred of evidence. But what if we gave our hopes, dreams, and best-case scenarios that same unwavering belief? Choose where you place your energy. It matters more than you think.

Make some time today to reach out to someone who means a lot to you.
Giles Paley-Phillips (@eliistender10.bsky.social)
None of us is getting out alive, so, be kind, be weird, take long walks, really listen, don't hold on to the past if it weighs you down, talk more, tell everyone you love what they mean to you, be kind to yourself and others, time is worth so much more than money or having stuff

For anyone who is finding life a challenge right now, please know you are not alone, and you will figure it out.

For any creatives who feel stuck or invisible right now, I see you, I hear you, Please know you're not alone. It can all feel a bit overwhelming when your art and your hustle are met with silence or self-doubt. Please rest, reflect, and know you are more needed than you know.

For anyone else who sometimes struggles with overthinking.

For anyone who had a difficult day, I'm sorry, all we can do right now is allow yourself a bit of time and space, get some rest, and tomorrow we go again.
Giles Paley-Phillips (@eliistender10.bsky.social)
Trying to be there and hold space for others while carrying your own pain and grief is one of the heaviest things a heart can do. If you're showing up for people even while you're hurting, you're showing incredible strength. Please go easy on yourself too.
Giles Paley-Phillips (@eliistender10.bsky.social)
These words hit so deep. A reminder we all need sometimes — love isn't just what we missed, it's what's right in front of us.

@thehistoryguy.bsky.social Hey Dan, I hope you are well? May I DM you about Yoreflix a new history streaming platform which is about to launch
Giles Paley-Phillips (@eliistender10.bsky.social)
There will come a day when you look back at the struggles, the setbacks, and the moments you wanted to quit. But instead of regret, you'll feel a sense of pride—because you kept going. Because you refused to give up. And that perseverance is what built the person you are becoming. Please Keep going!

Such a lovely little piece on The Saddest Show on Earth. @eliistender10.bsky.social and I have been laughing about the fact it now looks like we set up this entire show on our own, when really I had such a great team of people turning this spooky little underground vault into a pop-up spectacle. ❤️

If you rely solely on outside validation, you’ll always be searching for more. Always try to believe in yourself first.

In a world that feels so uncertain, kindness is vital! A kind word, a small act of generosity, or simply showing up for someone can mean so much. Let’s be the reason people continue to believe in kindness and compassion. It costs nothing to be kind, but it can mean everything to someone else.
