Despite Lula solidly winning the Brazilian Presidential runoff, his Far Right challenger Flávio Bolsonaro is describing the result as “inexplicable” and calling for the election to be annulled. A preview for the US Midterms.

Today, Bolsonaro loses. Tomorrow, Israel can make Netanyahu lose. Next week, the US can make Trump lose. The world can heal.

Brazilian media has now called Lula’s victory.

Facebook really needs to have two laughing emojis. One for when people say funny things and the other for when people are being dumfucks.

Amy Acton's mother is the first woman Republicans ever believe in a rape case.

I wonder (hope) if the Democrats retaking both houses will be enough to give Trump "the big one" that we're all holding out for. Whether it's sooner or later, I can't wait for the One Big Beautiful Obituary.

Just finished watching TRIP's interview with Mary Trump. Honestly think she is one of the most interesting people alive. it's insane how down to earth she can be, considering the family she comes from. Very brave of her to be so outspoken.

I love how the Reform doc hasn't even come out yet and the supporters are accusing the "establishment" of sabotage. Spoiler alert, if you say something unprompted, of your own free will, and are caught, that isn't sabotage. For the "Well I'm still voting Reform" lot, we know... you're racist.

So, changing the time of my return ticket tomorrow will cost me £21.40. Buying a new single going from the exact same place to the exact same place has instead cost me £3.80. Make it make sense.

A completely fair and measured response that I think we can all get behind.

Nigel Farage is on the side of Vladimir Putin. The same Vladimir Putin who has invaded a sovereign nation, killed thousands there and in the Middle East and wants to take over Eastern Europe. Keep saying it because it’s shocking.

Ukranian Dreaming On Such An Autumn Day

I don't know if it's like this for other councils, as I've only ever lived in Hull, but the system for paying council tax is fucking stupid. It looks like I am clicking onto a virus which will give hackers the information about me that they need to track me down and steal my kidneys.

Every week, we have a form quiz. Answers to the Countdown numbers round we did last week came out today. The "solution" involved squaring a number. I have seen enough Countdown to know that is complete and utter bullshit, and I demand the score gets reset.

From the party of dumping shit into rivers...

Well, gee, this certainly makes $6 per gallon diesel worth it

Simon Clarke MP was born on 28 September 1984. That's all you need to know. #r4today

🚨 BREAKING: Andy Burnham says he will consider “going all the way” to rejoin the EU after the next general election “I would like to see Britain rejoin in my lifetime… There are clear options that need to be considered. We have to look at what is doable”

Chris Bryant, "I have this warning for Nigel Farage and Kemi Badenoch. They say they'll bin the European Convention on Human Rights" "They've clearly never read the Good Friday Agreement, or maybe they don't even care about it" "I promise you this: we will not dump the ECHR, we will stand by it"

We’re all counting on them following through after the midterms.

Sorry, not sorry. The President of the United States is a traitor and a rapist.

Lovely day out with work today for the school's sponsored walk. Favourite part was hearing "Sir, what's this?", proceeds to get handed a "fuck you Reform" badge. Yeah thanks guys, I'll just take that. 10/10 messgae, though.

CHARGED! Hahahaha. Far-right activist Danny Tommo charged after dinghy slashed in the Channel www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/crim...

Not saying I've always thought these pages were dodgy, but a very prominent predator exposed Facebook page has come out in support of Tommo. Wonder how many of the nonces they go after are in the same right-wing circles as him.

Kate Savage sounds like a bitch. www.yorkshirepost.co.uk/news/politic...

Even MTG figured it out? Damn

My upstairs neighbour has been arrested for criminal damage. Proud to say I'm the one who made the cell. Bye bye, John, don't come back.

Shoutout to the lovely girl in my form who recognised "my teacher might be about to pass out" and kindly got another teacher to come to my aid. Wednesday, we had one of the year 8s Today, it was me. Who is gonna go down tomorrow? Stay tuned...

We really getting Canada joining the EU before the UK 😭

Big shoutout to my amazing MP, the absolute legend @emmahardymp.bsky.social . For three months I've been going back and forth with Currys trying to get a refund, and all it took was her getting in touch with them for them to agree to a refund, compensation, and the big one, a bloody apology!

To paraphrase the Stephen Lawrence Enquiry. The Met police is institutionally racist, sexist, and has a lack of leadership. Ex-Met detective to stand for Reform in by-election - BBC News share.google/ce23osJyNr3h...

The Russians are attacking trains right at the border of Poland, shortly after former UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson and top European security officials had passed through. Kamala Harris told us how it was all going to go.

#RudyGiuliani publicly told @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social that it is inappropriate" for Zohran to go to the 9/11 memorial. On the next day, @mayor.nyc.gov released 170,000+ pages of documents exposing that Giuliani's administration lied to the public ... #MayorHelpsNYC @mayor.nyc.gov

Genuinely impressive how thick these people are.

The more time I spend on the Internet, the more I understand why Gordon Brown called that old woman a bigot.

Day 2 at school and first day of year 7s in and I've had a kid in my form, during form, projectile vomit everywhere. Yay teaching!

Problem solved. Peace at last. 🙏

Last late get up of the holidays. Back to school tomorrow and starting in my new school

Undercover footage verified by Channel 4 News reveals a secret plot by senior Reform UK figures to break the law on party donations. A leading legal expert is now calling for a criminal investigation. 🔗 Read the exclusive story on Substack:

Maybe you could get a loyalty scheme up and running: 6 by-elections, and you get a constituency for free?

If you plug the average of the latest poll from each pollster into the Nowcast, you get a very reasonable Labour result and a progressive coalition.
