The Independent reporting Angela Rayner confirming "nothing is off the table" to reverse Brexit harm shows reality sinking in. With a £240bn black hole starving our public services, dogma must yield to economic survival. Why suffer self-inflicted harm? 🤔 #RejoinEU

More to come on this, but those Labour MPs opposing talking about freedom of movement need to be aware that they are also condemning UK manufacturing to more barriers and probably further decline. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

#GazaGenocide, 18 Oct 2026 On October 18, 2026, six-year-old girl Misk Al-Dalu was killed by #Israeli forces’ gunfire west of Al-Maghazi refugee camp in the central #Gaza Strip. #NetanyahuWarCriminal #Boycottisrael #TrumpWarCriminal #BoycottUSA #israel Enemy of Humanity

I note that the BBC no longer bothers to tell us that Israel prevents them from reporting from Gaza.

Maurene Comey must be REINSTATED to her federal prosecutor job with backpay, a federal judge has ruled. He adds that accepting Trump DOJ's position would "unsettle the very equilibrium established by this Nation’s constitutional system." Doc buff.ly/CDtADgH

This is America, where the 1% are 99% above the law. There are exceptions, especially for women and minorities, but for the most part the Epstein Class is above the law. Impunity breeds criminal behavior. It's one of the main reasons we have - or had, pre-Trump 2 - a justice system.

That this is in THE WASHINGTON POST is almost too much irony to bear.

Lula: "We had to overcome foreign interference through digital platforms, which we will have to regulate. A crime in the digital world must be treated the same as a crime in the real world. We cannot have monstrous companies earning millions... not paying taxes... wanting to steer elections."

BBC News just interrupted its coverage to go, live, to Nigel Farage - a man with no contitutional standing in our setup - responding to the budget - a document which nobody has seen yet. WHY

CORNELL UNIVERSITY- Was it worse for 7 fraternity members to be disciplined for raping a female student at a frat house OR For 17 students who being arrested for protesting a pro Israeli/pro GENOCIDE on March 10, 2025. 4 were banned from Cornell for 3 years Is gang rape worse than GENOCIDE?

@cornelluniversity.bsky.social Reinstate the 17 students who protested and reward them with a free ride education. Shame on Cornell University.

Patriots one and all 🤣🤣🤣

Newspapers call the tolerant left "extremist" While right wingers with vile bigoted views are portrayed as sensible & moderate Why? Because the media is owned by tax-avoiding billionaires who want no-one to #BlameMillionairesNotMigrants for poverty and campaign to #TaxTheRich meme via Steve Benson

When the algorithms are against you, you take the long way round. How long before Zuckerberg finds a way to limit WhatsApp to stop this happening again?

BREAKING: Anthropic's Claude bypassed a paywall to access Georgia voter data without authorization, per Axios

TSMC and other Taiwan semiconductor businesses were built entirely by US contractors and Corporations. I know, I was there in the 90's. The idea that the Taiwanese stole anything from the USA, is utterly laughable. Americans did this to themselves, entirely through greed and stupidity.

Media commentators - this must be 2016-19 muscle memory - have strong intuition that Labour vote split + Reform/Conservative voters unified Yet every single piece of 2026 data shows the opposite pattern More progressive cohesion More right coalition-challenge bsky.app/profile/sund...

What’s wrong with DHH is that he’s a racist but tech bros also HATE the way GDPR sets even the tiniest limits on how much data they can scrape And my dude, look up French power stations

Honestly, partly because we live in a climate that hasn’t really needed it before. But AC also draws down battery life by ~30%, so busses have to be charged more often so you need a larger fleet. It has been a horrible issue for the bus drivers who have little to no airflow.

"The government’s determination to avoid any scrutiny reached absurd proportions when delegates to ALP National Conference were denied the opportunity to debate #AUKUS (and Palestine)" The independent inquiry will make clear why we must #EndAUKUS. #auspol pearlsandirritations.com/post/2026/10...

As a Jew, these images sicken me. We have become exactly the type of people that we have been running from and fighting against for centuries. It's disgusting, and it has to end

Social media companies’ model of “angertainment” has been enthusiastically taken up by struggling mainstream mastheads, radio stations and pay TV, writes Paul Bongiorno. It does nothing for the safety of elected leaders. trib.al/nEG6NBq

Please stop this nonsense. Trump & Bibi have been elected multiple times. Bibi has been the leading politician in Israel for 2 decades now. The constant attempt to ascribe no agency to the people & culture that brought these leaders forward is why they (& people like them) will continue in power.

Collective punishment and ethnic cleansing are war crimes and crimes against humanity. The Nazis were held accountable for these crimes, and so should Israel. Why is it taking so long for world leaders to intervene?

Israeli human rights activist Nadav Weiman: "I just spoke now with Palestinian friends from Hebron; thousands of Palestinians were evacuated from their homes overnight - not because they did something, not because they know something, not because they expressed support for the attackers. Just

Great analogy for how the US is governed at the moment. youtube.com/shorts/JvfTh...

How’s that criminal investigation into Peter Mandelson sharing secret government information with criminals and foreign intelligence agents going, by the way? It’s been a long time and I realise we jettisoned the Prime Minister with minimal fuss, but are we going to pretend, at least.

Controversial “Musk” @alexgibneyfilm.bsky.social Documentary Pulled From Almost Every One of 472 Theaters After One Week by Newly Sold Bleecker Street Films www.showbiz411.com/2026/10/23/c...

Left- Israel has bombed all of the hospitals in Gaza. 94% of healthcare facilities are partially or totally out of service. Right- Gaza attacked again last night.

All these so-called “independent” Republicans will go right back to voting for Johnson as speaker, confirm every Trump nominee, vote with Trump on everything, and continue doing zero oversight on his corrupt regime. A vote for any one of them is a vote to continue all of that.

My latest: Ukraine’s Starshield access is still crippled, no-one is taking the blame, and Ukrainian soldiers and civilians are dying because of it. kyivindependent.com/analysis-ukr...

Musk promises to take revenge if Democrats investigate him after the midterms!

The ole fact check: No, these statements are false. There is no scientific or factual evidence to support the claims that Dr. Anthony Fauci created the COVID-19 virus, orchestrated a cover-up, or suppressed life-saving treatments.

Seven-year-old Misk Hazem al-Dalu was killed when Israeli forces opened fire on displaced Palestinians sleeping in their tents west of the Maghazi refugee camp in central Gaza.

Watched NAZA yesterday. At the end, there was total silence, other than the occasional sob. No one moved until the credits stopped rolling. It’s a film which the perpetrators of genocide confessed their crimes. One day that will happen from the dock.

Israel is committing a genocide against Palestinians, paid for by American taxpayers. As Israeli airstrikes continue to kill children and families in Gaza, half a million Palestinians are set to lose access to food and assistance.

This child is one of five Palestinians killed in #Gaza by Israel today. #EndZionism #SanctionIsrael #BoycottIsrael #GazaHolocaust
