This went on for the rest of the full hour, at which point the BBC apologised for having to go to the weather and urged viewers to follow continuing live coverage on iPlayer. Forty-one minutes of unfiltered, unchallenged propaganda by a far right party with 8 MPs, now third in the polls. Discuss.

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

A US military C-17 transport plane has mysteriously landed at Moscow’s Vnukovo Airport from Riga, Latvia, with Russia’s government claiming to have no information about the aircraft or its arrival. After landing, a US diplomatic motorcade was seen being escorted by police.

It’s amazing how many political argument still used today originated with The West Wing.

In this iconic scene from The West Wing, the argument isn't simply about religion, it's about selective morality. Who decides which biblical laws are still moral — and which ones we leave behind? Any fans of the show? I am starting to appreciate this show more now than ever.

France calls out the U.S. at a UN meeting: “The US used to be a beacon of human rights. Not anymore. Today, it stands alongside North Korea, Nicaragua, Mali and Russia. Isolated. And the world no longer listens to it.” U.S. representatives stormed out of the meeting. Well said France! 👏🏼🇫🇷👏🏼

I posted this almost a month ago. I didn’t for one moment think it might be under serious discussion quite so soon, but I am very very happy it is. FIFA, Trump, and Infantino, have turned something beautiful, into a toxic cesspit fueled by their own greed. Please UEFA make it happen. ##FIFA #UEFA

Yes, sadly you are right. UEFA might grow a bigger pair and try a breakaway again at some point in the future. But I doubt it.

I’m not sure I agree with the fascist thing entirely. But I do agree that they believe that they are usually above the law. With very few exceptions. That said, it reinforces the gun thing. If you’ve got one in your hand, and you are a threat. I’m going to kill you if I can do it lawfully.

Argentina, you are an embarrassment to the beautiful game. You have no class, no integrity and no honour. Well done Spain, laugh in their filthy cheating faces. Enjoy every beautiful moment of your victory.

Israel must be stopped. Netanyahu is a despot, and the Israeli people are battered with right wing propaganda. I do not believe any right minded person would support Netanyahu if they saw the truth. Hence the systematic murder of journalists and paramedics by the IDF. we are complicit, we allow it.

How ironic that Israel turns out to be the new age Nazi state. The only difference being that so far we continue to supply them with the tools. We are complicit, and it has to stop.

Feeling overwhelmed with all of this. LISTEN. Another Louisiana resident (Marshawn is the only name we have) testifies against the state’s racial gerrymander, speaking truth to power up and down the hearing room and predicts how this story will end. Speak your truth, fight and believe.

Outrage after Israeli soldier pictured smashing Jesus statue news.sky.com/video/share-... difficult to scream to loudly about antisemitism when your military carry out acts like this. Could this be endemic in the Israeli armed forces I wonder.

news.sky.comOutrage after IDF soldier smashed Jesus statue with sledgehammerSky's Middle East correspondent Adam Parsons looks at the reaction to an image that shows an IDF soldier smashing a statue of Jesus in southern Lebanon.

Meanwhile Israel is allowed to continue the destruction and invasion of the Lebanon, bomb Yemen and Iraq, and continues to bomb whatever is still standing in Gaza. Russia can crack on in Ukraine unabated. All because the orange oligarch can’t rob them of anything. #Iran #TACO #Israel #Gaza #Ukraine

In 1953 Iran had a functioning democracy. A free press. Seven political parties. Women in universities. Women granted voting rights in municipal councils in 1952. A secular prime minister named Mosaddegh who believed Iran's oil belonged to Iran. The US and Britain decided he had to go.

If you were clown enough to vote for Trump. I hope you are enjoying the fruits of your walk to the polling station. If you are a reform voter, open your eyes right now. You still have time to see the light.

The Israeli official and convicted terrorist who just yesterday declared his support for a military unit that assaulted a CNN crew & killed a 78-year-old Palestinian-American is now today drinking champagne to celebrate a new law to execute Palestinians.

Omg he 100% deserves it! Trump will lose his mind! See chart #4 Trump has been helping Putin! Has talked of leaving NATO and released sanctions! Putin could make $100’s of Billions off oil and LNG Iran is making $100’s of Billions. All to cause a World Recession due to Wars! #SlavaUkraini

Well sounds like Zelenskyy is putting his chips on Europe and the uk. Let’s hope he can cash in on Trump in process. No minerals to Trump, just billions of dollars going the other way. Fuck you Trump, finally you have been kicked right up the arse.

Dear American people, you have a deranged, psychotic, dementia riddled lunatic running your country. Destroying your economy and your livelihoods while starting world war three. The rest of us have decided to walk away and you are now isolated in the world for the first time in history. KICK HIM OUT

How disrespectful.Some of the most important leaders in the world, alongside some of the best footballers in history, all speaking at the draw. Not one single interpreter. Ignorance really is bliss. And Trump and Infantino,the two most corrupt men on the planet revelling in it. Cunts!! #worldcupdraw

Before the midterms of 1866, President Andrew Johnson called his congressional opponents traitors and said they should be hanged. Voters were so profoundly moved by his words... that they gave his opponents a supermajority in Congress, and the nation got the Fourteenth Amendment.

Democracy dies in silence. …when people are too afraid or don’t care enough to speak up. Not today. MILLIONS of Americans and allies of freedom and democracy, here and around the world, are taking to the streets. Showing their love of country and defiance of tyranny. It’s a beautiful sight.
