Flavio Bolsonaro is now hiding in the USA protected by Donald Trump. Truly the USA has become a failed Mafia state openly hiding fugitives fleeing justice, while holding President Maduro prisoner because apparently HE doesn't respect democracy When actually it's them, who don't

Today we learned that it was a 28-year-old DOGE operative who gutted USAID, and HR had no record of him working there. Totally normal stuff.

Farage tying himself in angry knots here ... as he refuses to answer the basic question: Is it racist to call Kemi Badenoch a "Nigerian scammer"?

For 7 years Meghan was the "heartless daughter”… She stayed silent while our disgusting press gave her endless abuse And probably because she trusted the Met to do its job …and somehow she's still the one getting the blame?!

Followers will know I'm far from an uncritical Andy Burnham or Labour fan. But as Prime Minister of an actual government, with a huge majority, I'd say he has more of a mandate than a part-time MP leading a bunch of racist malcontents forever falling out with each other! Wouldn't you?

Netanyahu is predicted to only get 50 seats from the exit polls in Israel. He needed 61. If the opposition forms a Government he will almost certainly be found guilty of bribery, fraud, and breach of trust. And get 10-15 years in jail, and he is already 77.

Just a casual reminder that Germans who “didn’t bother to vote” in 1932 didn’t get a chance again until 1946, after Hitler’s death. — There’s a lesson there.

#bbcbreakfast Brexit has not been “reopened because of Andy Burnham”, but because: - it’s turned out to be a costly mistake - geopolitics shows we can’t rely on the US, but need to work with our neighbours with whom we share common interests - the public has turned against it

Netanyahu might be forced to flee to the US to escape jail in Israel. That would mean that like in Tenpin Bowling when Donald Trump is taken down, Netanyahu and Flavio Bolsonaro go down with him and are deported back to jail in Israel and Brazil. How marvellous.

The cuts being made at the BBC are unforgivable. They are putting it into a death spiral. The weaker it gets, the less people will want to support it. And yes, this is an issue for the Government, which likes to pretend it's not their problem. It is.

We invested in our infrastructure and kept our water away from private ownership. England did not. We have seen the sewage that they are dumping into their waterways - and the big bonuses paid to their shareholders of the privatised water companies. It is no surprise that England has a problem! 2/3

So, it is NOT the UK but England/Wales that we are talking about. That rag does not like to admit Scotland exists and so 'UK' suits their narrative. I wonder if WM will think that they just take free water from Scotland? WM who refused a Scotland fund from oil revenue. We should all be Yes now! 3/3

Yes, yes, the renewed accusations that the president is a serial rapist and was an active participant in Epstein's pedophilia and sex trafficking would seem alarming, but it doesn't involve the Cheesecake Factory so ...

If the IDF said "NO" to an order given by Netanyahu, then it had to be really, really bad, considering they have already said "YES" to genocide.

Imagine a world where we are no longer dependent on oil and nuclear energy. It's coming and it's better and that's why the vested interests are doing everything in their power to stop it

Jan Rosenow@janrosenow.bsky.social

Solar has overtaken nuclear. A decade ago it supplied 1% of the world's power. In 2025 it met three quarters of global demand growth. Almost nobody saw it coming. I spoke to Jocelyn Timperley at BBC Future about why. www.bbc.co.uk/future/artic...

Then they just come back in 4 years to try destroy the system again, using the same broken Billionaire Media, the same Billionaire backers who don't pay any tax, robbing the citizens using privatisation to fund the attempt to destroy them They need to be stopped for GOOD

Gather round children and I'll tell you of a time when it was unthinkable the US would cut off vital weapons systems to an ally fighting a Russian invasion and a week later it remained an open question whether the president or a ketamine-addled oligarch gave the order. Sounds crazy, but it's true.

Lula delivers a knockoout to Flávio Bolsonaro's mockery: "If there's anyone who knows what the world of work is, it's me. He's never worked a day in his life, his first job was a ghost one, and he comes calling me 9 fingers? The working people are watching, millions of workers get injured"

“When the people concerned are being told that their contribution is insufficient to deserve settlement, yet apparently too important to allow them to leave their occupation, the contradiction becomes clear.”

Hungary’s 1956 revolution against Soviet oppression earned the world’s respect, only for a Moscow-aligned autocrat to squander that legacy decades later. As we commemorate the uprising today, it feels good to finally give the world reasons for hope again.

I can't imagine why rich parasites would hate Socialism (where there are no rich parasites), even more than Nazism. Oh no wait... I think I have worked it out.

You would see far more benefit from imprisoning and confiscating the possessions of a handful of criminal billionaires than you ever would from deporting immigrants. (Because there is no benefit)
