Flávio Bolsonaro had his passport confiscated by the Brazilian fed police as his brother Eduardo told him to flee to the US. He is tied to paramilitary gangs, is being investigated & lost his legislative immunity when he left the Senate to run for president. paydayreport.com/brazilian-fe...

Not beating the "unable to accept the results of a democratic election" allegations

"The CLAAAAAW!" Ukraine is using drones with mechanical claws to recover downed drones to make repairs or salvage parts.

This is a rare moment of bipartisanship. And a reliable indication that Darline Graham is a horrible, inexperienced nepo-candidate.

A large nighttime march is moving through Tbilisi, Georgian flags raised above the crowd. Protesters carry a wide banner in Georgian at the front, with blue-and-yellow flags visible farther back. The protests against Georgia’s Russia-friendly government are growing again.

We The People make rich & keep rich billionaires & millionaires & we can humble & bankrupt them. Quit acting & thinking as if they are somehow divinely anointed. WE buy their services and products. Simply boycott their products and services. They are nothing, nobody without us giving them our money.

Left: President Trump insults Norway calling it a sh*thouse country Right: Visit Norway, the tourism board, trolls President Trump, displaying some of their best toilets on their Instagram 😅

In Politico today: “Reform supporters aren’t manning the barricades to defend Brexit” Indeed! They know they’ve not got a leg to stand on.

The cuts being made at the BBC are unforgivable. They are putting it into a death spiral. The weaker it gets, the less people will want to support it. And yes, this is an issue for the Government, which likes to pretend it's not their problem. It is.

The Alexander Yakovenko who told a fellow diplomat: “We have crushed the British to the ground. They are on their knees, and they will not rise for a very long time.”? See fascinating article by @peterjukes.bsky.social and work by @carolecadwalla.bsky.social in bylinetimes.com/2022/03/08/p...

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.

“My Catholic Latina opponent wants to impose Sharia Law” is a hilariously desperate closing message. thehill.com/homenews/617...

Big Oil profits have skyrocketed since Trump launched his Iran War. Meanwhile, Trump himself owns up to $81 million in oil and gas stocks — which have increased in value by 43% since the end of 2025. When Trump says "we're making a freaking fortune," understand who he is really talking about.

Reform plan to bring back imperial measurements to help boost US trade, not realising that US imperial measurements are different from UK ones. So dense a black hole is empty space by comparison.

The challenge for the UK and France will be using their veto to block this, because it will heighten the debate about whether either of them should still be UNSC members. By tradition, they almost never use their veto these days, and def not against the US, but Orban as UNSG is intolerable.

Since the beginning of Trump’s second term, American democracy has been unwound at frightening speed. Analysis by the V-Dem Institute shows the rate of democratic backsliding in US is faster than we saw in Hungary, India, Russia or Serbia And if we don’t take urgent action it could happen here too

Just catching up with this story. Turning Point UK came to my neighbourhood to “protect our kids” from drag queen storytellers at the Honor Oak pub. I don’t think people appreciate how much the English far right is tied up with Ulster Loyalism, and how dangerous this is in a time of polarisation.

Not beating the fascism allegations

Hungary - ✅ Serbia - ✅ Brazil - ✅ Machado back in Venezuela - ✅ PLEASE - Israel on Tuesday PLEASE - US midterms Nov 3 Boot all the corrupt, war-mongering, Trump-fawning, right-wingers out.

When the President has this much free time, this many grievances, and this little impulse control, we’re in much bigger trouble than Bill Maher.

The President of the United States spent his Sunday night writing a 1,300-word rant about Bill Maher. Not the economy. Not the wars. Not the midterms. Bill. Fucking. Maher.

In one day, two politicians - Bolsonaro in Brazil and Vucic in Serbia - with ties to Trump have lost surprise elections thanks to high turnout. The rise of the international far-right is not inevitable.

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."

Perhaps the EU / member state governments could learn something from Serbia and bring some young people / new ideas into its discussions. Because at the moment paranoid populism lite isn't working. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

First Musk said he did not disable Starlink for Ukraine. Now he's confessing to disabling it but says he was justified in doing so. Congress, if you can hear me, we need hearings when Dems take over. www.cnn.com/2026/10/25/e...

Reform and Tories have pledged to reverse ULEZ repeatedly.

Reform UK's Suella Braverman claims massive taxpayer-funded water bill at home equal to 18 baths a day Claim to have used 1,504 litres of water daily at her £1.2million four-bedroom pad in a five-month period. Reform have promised benefit cuts for the disabled, old, sick, poor, unfortunate.

Kemi Badenoch and Jacob Rees-Mogg, both Conservatives, criticised Andy Burnham for appearing on Gogglebox Here's Boris Johnson appearing on Eastenders when he was Mayor of London The double standards are extraordinary.

Looks like right and left extremism are both falling out of favour again in the UK. Healthy.

Dear UK journalists, Do your job. If Farage says the NHS is broken, force him to explain how he'd fix it and what that would mean for us in practice. If he says we must leave the ECHR, pin him down on what that would mean for our rights and international treaties. Never let him just use slogans!

..greater battlefield mobility, even down to smaller backpacks, Russian accounts are acknowledging why Ukrainian forces are gaining ground. Even with the United States and the world's richest ketamine casualty putting their thumbs on the scale to save Putin, Ukraine continues to clean house.

History continues to be made at the front, as Russians themselves are now openly expressing awe at Ukrainian military operations. From superior training and coordination between infantry and air support to greater battlefield mobility, even down to..

The Tories claim to be more progressive than Labour by pointing to the fact they’ve had 4 female leaders and 2 non-white leaders, but what they don’t tell you is that each and everyone of them has been a Tory.

Sexual assaulter shows solidarity with other sexual assaulter

Brexit voter in Makerfield tells Beth Rigby, "Everything seemed better when we were in the European Union. Boris Johnson just convinced everyone that we would be so much better off, didn't he" Another says he didn't make the right choice to vote for Brexit because Brexit ended FOM

Slamming into reverse so fast you can hear the gears crunch

In a crowded field Jenrick manages to retain the title of biggest twerp in UK politics.

"The IMF intervened twice on their demented plan. The Bank of England rushed in to prevent a £1.5 trillion collapse of pension funds. The budget still cost pensions £75 billion. That’s £1 per second for 2,325 years. Or £3,600 per hour, every hour, since Hannibal marched his elephants over the Alps."

there’s a ton of important detail in this first interview of Ilhan Omar since the homeland security raid on her house, including something she says almost in passing—she and her family have to move now, because her address was made public, and they receive too many death threats to stay there now

They are openly trying to fix voting in the USA.

The US government is now asking Elon Musk to restore the access they say was never removed, Elon says was shut down by the US government, and both briefly tried to pretend was down due to a technical glitch, in between darkly hinting Ukrainians deserve to die for being stubborn or ungrateful.

This is what Russian “humanitarianism” looks like in Ukraine. Russian troops throw explosives into civilian homes. Not bases. Not command posts. Homes. Yesterday, Steve Witkoff called Putin a “humanitarian.” Show him this. Support link is in the first comment.

The Russians hacked Jared's phone. Then Dutch cyberspies then reverse-engineered that hack, giving them unprecedented access to his world. Bananas story in @vanityfair.com
