Brazil votes on Sunday in an election that will help shape the future of the world: fascism or social progress. I’ve joined 40 MPs and 10 union general secretaries warning against Trump’s interference in Brazil - which is a blatant attempt to stop Lula winning. Read our statement below.

Salvador's Mobility Secretary Pablo Souza is currently on the run after an arrest warrant was issued for him in Brazil after he tried to interfere in elections by halting the city's buses Bolsonaro Snr is going to have more roommates than just his son, they might need a new jail

Bolsonaro-friendly mayors appear to be sabotaging public transport on Election Day. Buses aren’t running in Lula-friendly areas, flights and ferries mysteriously canceled. Traffic lights have gone out and people’s power cut in Salvador, indigenous people’s travel restricted

There have now been major voter suppression occurrences registered in 12 out of 27 states in Brazil. Major liberal Brazilian news channel ICL reports São Paulo mayor Ricardo Nunes, who supports Flávio Bolsonaro, said earlier he couldn’t “justify the costs” of running a full fleet in the city today.

‘Islamists’?? Seriously? More I think about it, the more this piece has less value as analysis of France and more value as a window into the worldview in a decent chunk of British media

Always "difficult decisions" for the government. As a currency issuer they're not difficult decisions for the government, they're political choices. #MMT #NHS

The for real problem here is: our political/media class has bullshat itself into such a tight corner, that they’re now having to explain that there’s nothing necessarily wrong or extreme about a project that has been engaged in World War II-level crimes against humanity for years.

SCOOP: 'Tommy' from the now-viral exchange with Abdul El-Sayed is Thomas Teepell, a former staffer for Republican Senator Josh Hawley with close ties to Christian Nationalist Sean Feucht. He's the son of a former Bobby Jindal staffer whose consultant work was instrumental in getting Hawley elected.

Our NHS has been hollowed out over the last few decades. Thank you @premnsikka.bsky.social The UK has 2.4 NHS beds PER 1,000 people Japan: 12.6 Germany: 7.7 Austria: 6.6 France: 5.4 OECD average: 4.2 This is why we have the disgrace of corridor care. It's time to invest and rebuild our NHS

To reiterate: these huge benefit cuts are so disastrously unpopular that the current government had to conceal them from the public and lie about it to get elected, and then they cost the last PM his job. But these people are undeterred, they just reset the board for themselves then begin again.

It is incredibly funny that some Republican dark money group sent Tommy there to try and trip Abdul up and instead Tommy got bodied so hard the aftermath requires a professional wrestling announcer to adequately describe the damage.

Badenoch tells PMQs "all of the gas" from Jackdaw "goes into the British grid". This is misleading - the grid is connected to Europe, so once gas goes into the "British grid" it's often sold abroad And anyway, it would only produce 2-6% of UK gas output at peak. Bald men fighting over a dirty comb.
