You have to admit that the entire Bolsonaro family under house arrest in the same house would be a hell of a sitcom.

A government minister giving a credible answer on #Brexit so offends Nick Robinson that he asks a spurious question, a snide comment on an #ITV #CurrentAffairs rival, then moves on to a new subject with no time to respond. The pro-Reform bias is glaring. #R4Today audiences deserve better.

I have been detained by Israeli security forces all day. Along with with MPs Clive Lewis, Lara Bird, MSP Kate Nevans, former MP Sam Tarry and campaigners from across the world, we were turned back because they don’t want anyone seeing their ethnic cleansing.

Mentioning the National Front puts a rather one-dimensional, determinist slant on Farage’s initials. NF also stands for Nazi Fascists.

Guess which party leader BBC #r4today has on to talk about freedom of movement this morning. Hint: shares the same initials as the National Front.

Guess which parties BBC #PoliticsLive has on the sofa: Conservative ✅ Labour ✅ Reform UK ✅ 70% of UK adults get their news from the BBC. Greens have no chance while Auntie has her thumb on the democratic scales.

Two Scottish politicians, SNP MP Lara Bird (Arbroath and Broughty Ferry) and Green MSP Kate Nevens (Edinburgh and Lothians East), were stopped by Israeli authorities while trying to enter the West Bank from Jordan and held for around eight hours on 26 October, according to The National.

I am now safe after being detained and interrogated by Israeli forces and denied entry to Palestine alongside other activists and elected representatives. I will share a fuller statement tomorrow. The @scottishgreens.org stand in solidarity with the people of Palestine.

Seriously getting fed up with Chowns et al. She gets a massive wage and she's there to represent the Green party who passed a motion at conference and here she is undermining it. It's a pity she couldn't be sent over to Gaza or Hebron at the moment to see for herself how Zionist racism plays out.

Ali Fortescue to Ellie Chowns on the group Greens4Palestine: "This group obviously has a big influence over your partys direction... do you think they should be kicked out of the party?" Can you imagine a journalist asking, should Labour Friends of Israel be kicked out of Labour? Of course you cant

Bolsonaro's loss is not just a loss for Bolsonaro. It's a loss for Trump. For Musk. For Milei. For Netanyahu. For Farage. For Meta and Zuckerberg. For the meat barons, the fossil fuel corporations, and the rest of the neocolonial looters. And it is a massive win for humanity and the living planet.

I've spoken with Palestinians from Hebron over the weekend. One told me about a family forced from their home while their daughter's wedding was scheduled for the next day. Another told me they can't get to school because a checkpoint now blocks the street leading to it.

LOL. Within 96 hours of receiving an order. Not 12 hours rapid response. Not 24 or 48 hours with readiness. But 96 hours. Four whole days! Hegseth's mighty US Armed Forces with all their supposed planning and preparation can't get it up for 4 whole days!

“Support for Reform is plummeting, and they are losing power and influence nationwide, but they haven’t disappeared up their own aerosols just yet, so here on #R4Today is Dick ‘Pubic’ Tice” This is political #cronyism. The #corrupt #BBC is throwing away credibility to back a marginal group.

Please listen. A real journalist #PeterOborne If Eisenkot wins the Israeli elections it will buy time to bring Israel back into the International fold, as the genocide & ethnic cleansing continues. Eisenkot policies are no different to Netanyahu's on International matters.

Timed perfectly for Tuesdays election, Netanyahu sends the occupational forces to raid various communities in the West Bank. It’s the largest incursion since ‘67.

Insolvency scam The boss of twice-bust business back despite £3m debts. These people gut a company, HMRC and creditors not paid. Then buy assets cheaply from the administrator in pre-packs, and back in business. Gone on for decades. No transparency of administrator dealings. No investigation.

“The Middle East’s only democracy” is a lie promoted yet again by #R4Today While there are roles from which #Gentiles are excluded, serious efforts to ban #Palestinian #Arab parties from standing, and #Apartheid laws that apply only to one ethnicity, #Israel looks more corrupt than, eg, #Lebanon.

Fair dues to Lord Danny for being first to note that something pretty fishy might have happened here, even as he believes it was principled and necessary. The “Paul” he’s talking about here is the one that wrote the book summarising the bullshit and shenanigans.

The IOF targets educational facilities. Israel wasn’t content with bombing the university and killing and wounding several students, so they bombed it a few hours later. Israel is a terrorist state.
