Phew

President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva came from behind to win Brazil’s runoff election, halting a right-wing wave sweeping Latin America and defying predictions that the 80-year-old political veteran had finally reached the end of his extraordinary career. bloom.bg/4BsvV24 📷: Maira Erlich/Bloomberg

Lula wins in Brazil. I hope the Right like crying because they are going to be doing a lot of it. Pedro Sanchez will win next in Spain. Now Lula needs to lock up all the traitors who tried to fix the election. They will cry over that too, keep crying those tears are so sweet.

“.. a stunning comeback, sealed late as voters in Lula’s northeastern stronghold rallied behind one of Latin America’s most prominent opponents of Trumpism.” @bloomberg.com 🇧🇷 www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

Lula has been reelected president, Brazilian media has now called. An extraordinary comeback for the left-wing politician who trailed by 2 points in round 1 but managed to hold off Flávio Bolsonaro, the former president's son.

⚡️ Scotland is energy rich, yet has some of the highest energy bills in Europe. It's time for a fresh start with lower energy bills. Support our campaign by pledging your support and encourage your followers to do the same.

🇬🇧 In 1974 the uk Gov MCRONE REPORT concluded that the benefit of North Sea oil to the economy of an independent Scotland would result in a: “chronic surplus to a quite embarrassing degree, and its currency would become the hardest in Europe" 🇬🇧 The uk Gov immediately classified the Report as SECRET

Why is ANYONE surprised? We can runs things expertly, if we're allowed to. It's time for Scottish Independence.

Aberdeen is in a weird position for sure but that's why they pay big money. To trap you in a lifestyle you cannot afford and to ease the guilt. We don't like to talk about the massive we're killing the planet elephant in our rooms. Thatchers bastard children. www.thenerve.news/p/stewart-le...

Every night, Israeli soldiers fire bullets at the tents of displaced Palestinians for entertainment, and Palestinian civilians are killed day after day while sleeping inside their tents Tonight, an innocent little girl Misk Al-Dalo was killed,becoming yet another victim of Israeli brutality in Gaza

So many in my profession have this man’s blood on their hands. The ingrained racism of the British media killed Jason Arday

PPE Medpro, the company owned by Baroness Michelle Mone and Doug Barrowman, owes HMRC £39 million in unpaid tax. This debt is owed directly by the now-liquidated company. It sits on top of a DIFFERENT £148 million (including interest) that the firm was ordered to repay. What's happening?

Wake up Scots. This is colonial extraction, not a fair, free and equal union. We have national rights, but it’s up to us to assert them by supporting Scottish independence. Nobody is going to rescue us.

Thanks to being governed by Westminster, Scotland's oil £Billions have been frittered away on tax cuts and jobs for the boys/girls. It could have been different. An independent Scotland could be as wealthy as Norway. 'BetterTogether' is the biggest Unionist lie. 😬 www.bbc.com/news/article...

We can only imagine the disasters that will befall us if Swinney gets his way. But in the UK we have safety, security and a solid track record. Why risk it all? Strong and stable.

If you have evidence of a crime, PRODUCE IT. Otherwise this is the President of the United States publicly inventing a conviction before there’s even been a trial.

Greta Thunberg comes out to support Lula "If Bolsonaro wins, it will be a disaster for the entire planet... Latin America is not for sale. The eyes of the world are on you Brazil, we are counting on you."

Without a hint of irony, today, the UK Chancellor declared if Scotland's oil money had been better invested there would be a trillion £+ sovereign wealth fund. - Unionists tell us Scotland would be ruined without UK support. Utter bastards. That's our kids futures they have helped themselves to!!

Turning Point UK Chief Executive Jack Ross was caught on camera by Al Jazeera offering to help introduce someone to a hitman. Surely it is time this Extreme US Right Wing Hate Group was banned as terrorist organization.

In the UK a pensioner holding a cardboard sign opposed to genocide is terrorism. But organising a paid murder with terrorists is not...

It's a big party. "And you?" You're not invited, but you are on the menu.

So the oil that was running out in 2014 has a new pipeline kicking in. We will see almost zero benefit from this new drilling as the price of fuel continues to increase as well as profits We can do things differently via #independence . #snp #Scotland #endlondonrule #indyref #AreYouYesYet

Maybe it is time for people in Scotland who believe in fair and balanced Scottish and international news programmes, produced in Scotland, for Scotland, to just ignore the BBC and get behind funding Scotland's independent broadcaster. www.broadcastingscotland.scot/donate/

If we were to cut emissions by 18% in four years, that’s about the same rate of decrease as in 2020 during COVID-19 when the whole world shut down. 🫠

What is it about centrists that makes them so gullible? Everyone I know, knew Burnham would not be a left wing PM. He has never been left wing. He hasn't ever pretended to be. But loads of people just refused to believe that the widely predicted Thatcherite mess we see unfolding, was possible.

Andy Burnham has rejected former Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn's call for an independent inquiry into the UK Government’s complicity in the Gaza genocide

The media goes on about the FM going against bus firms by announcing total public control & calling @johnswinney.bsky.social a Dictator, well they had better take a look at what's happening in Wales where it was reported widely in the media & news outlets without the hoohaa we have here in Scotland.

Anyone with doubts should look at the success of Lothian buses, owned by the public and returning profits to the public purse.

The SNP want to bring buses into public control - but the media has been more concerned by the reaction of two men on the Sunday Times Rich List, than bus users. Editor Laura Webster explains Watch The National Podcast on YouTube or listen wherever you get your podcasts
