How can one define the ineffable uniqueness of any one person whilst being true to their multifarious...oh. I've run out of characters.

Great tips from Brazil on how they turned things around for Lula online and offline: 1. Don’t ever engage, block far-right accounts immediately. 2. Don't debunk, focus on making new content on your platform. 3. Use all the tools at your disposal. 4. Be equally online and offline.

Marandi: Your guest also once said that the only thing that deters Palestinians who resist is if they know that their sister or mother will be raped. Kedar: This is a lie! I never said... Marandi: Piers, one of your producers can look it up right now...

Congratulations to President Lula on a stunning, historic re-election. A political comeback that will be remembered for generations to come. This is a victory for the people, for the planet and for peace.

Oh look yet another Labour MP accusing the Greens of racism, despite directly enabling a literal genocide of Palestinians across the last three years. It honestly does boggle the mind that people can be so utterly fucking shameless.
I have joined Birmingham Labour colleagues in writing to the Council Leader. Green cabinet members must publicly disown their party’s “Zionism is Racism” motion. If they refuse, the power sharing agreement must end. Standing against racism requires leadership and action. 👇🏽

Basic education piece: Not all Jewish people are Zionists. Lots of Zionists aren't Jews. The Board of Deputies largely self identity as Zionists. The Media often report the Board of Deputies as the opinion of Jewish people. Yet many Jewish people say #NotInOurName

Latin America’s shift toward the Donroe Doctrine’s right-wing authoritarianism is on full display in Ecuador. Under Washington-backed President Daniel Noboa, leftist opposition leader Luisa González was barred from running and is now imprisoned under dubious, politically motivated charges. Amid growing anger over austerity and repression, Noboa’s government appears to turn toward dictatorship, weaponizing the justice system against political opponents. The U.S. constantly rails against left-wing “dictatorships” while aiding in their creation under their chosen vassals.

Buried on page 30 of 'Sir' David Bellend's report into antisemitism in schools in the UK it explicitly says there hasn't been a rise in antisemitism, only in anti-Israel sentiment. Astonishingly fraudulent crisis/debate, all to shield a genocidal state

So the Department of Education promotes schools waving Ukrainian flags, but Palestinian symbols are banned.

The Greens gaining in the polls while the entire machinery of the Establishment are hysterically screaming at them that they don’t belong in mainstream politics has got to be the funniest thing I’ve seen for a while
The lowest vote share for Reform that we have ever recorded 🔴 Labour: 26% (+1) 🔵 Conservatives: 21% (-1) 🟦 Reform UK: 20% (-2) 🟢 Greens: 13% (+2) 🟠 Lib Dems: 9% (-1) Implied turnout: 54% Changes from 14th October [Find Out Now, 21-22nd October, N=2,381]

Today's decision by Labour to approve new drilling in the North Sea is climate vandalism. It's a betrayal of all of our futures, and Labour has abandoned all credibility in the fight against climate change. This is a victory for Shell over the people.

I apologise unreservedly for any comments which may have given the impression that I retain a moral backbone.
Today I made what was meant to be a light-hearted self-deprecating remark. I didn’t get it right and it hasn’t come off as I intended. I fully support our Home Secretary and the government’s position on migration reform. As I said earlier this week, it’s absolutely right that people should have to make a contribution to this country in order to earn citizenship.

There are estimated to be up to 60,000 Palestinians in the UK. As far as I know, they would be the only people banned from wearing their national flag at school. This is obvious racism.

Daniel Noboa is a narco-dictator.
ECUADOR 🇪🇨 Luisa González, the former presidential candidate of Revolución Ciudadana, has been arrested on bogus allegations. This escalation of authoritarianism follows President Noboa’s move to bar González and the biggest opposition party from contesting November’s elections.

Expresamos nuestra solidaridad y absoluto respaldo a la compañera Luisa González, excandidata presidencial de Ecuador, detenida injustamente esta madrugada. Luisa, Raúl Castro y muchos otros compañeros son víctimas de un plan regional de persecución para eliminar a referentes de izquierda, criminalizar a los movimientos sociales y proscribir a las fuerzas populares. Así como en los años 70, cuando Estados Unidos articuló a las fuerzas militares para perseguir a la izquierda en nombre de la lucha contra el comunismo, hoy utilizan el pretexto del narcoterrorismo para coordinar la persecución judicial y política. Cambian los pretextos pero mantienen el objetivo: perseguir a quienes luchan por la soberanía para imponer gobiernos sometidos al imperio

Schools are not a place for "making protests and statements about geopolitical events", says the education secretary. Lucy Powell has announced strengthened guidance on political impartiality after a review revealed the scale of antisemitism in English schools.

So, one of the richest states per capita in the history of the World faces another weighed down with poverty, and who do we help? Fuck me, @andyburnham, I thought you'd be a disappointment but seriously...

Andy Burnham has signed off on the decision Britain will also provide an Atlas A400M transport aircraft with heavy lift capability to move kit around Saudi, as well as military advisers The decision marks an extension of UK support for Saudi in the wake of Houthi attacks which have killed more than a dozen people in Riyadh.
