I am Jewish. My grandparents were Jews who escaped the Holocaust. Pogroms were a common practice, ethnic cleansing too, and they managed to escape before the Holocaust. Most of their family members are dead, we’re a broken family tree with missing spots. I support Palestine BECAUSE I am Jewish.

Of all the things that never happened, this never happened the most

Superb from @pimlicat.bsky.social Too many people treat the rejoin debate as if we are still in 2016 (or the 1990s for that matter). Its 2026 and literally every important question related to the UK - be it economic, defence, climate change, education or crime - the answer is: rejoin the EU.

It’s just so appalling and enraging how casual and commonplace this has become. I’m out of words.

👏

A protester yelled "Shove that ballroom up your fat ass" to Trump at his rally in Mississippi on Monday night. This clip contains two versions of the moment. The first is how it aired on a livestream. In the second I increased the audio for that moment.

The President of a democratic country saying this a week before the elections. Are there really any non-MAGA racist lunatics left who still chant “USA! USA! USA!”, to rest of the world, with pride right now?

If only there were a Nobel Prize for heckling

Exactly this👇

Because we spend so much time talking about what a cunt Donald Trump is, we probably don't spend enough time talking about how fucking thick he is.

Proof that if you write enough letters you get what you want. Gentlemen, prepare yourselves for a better Britain.

Something about drinking Bolsonaro tears.

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 😅

This is objectively very very funny

Wow!!

Flavio Bolsonaro crying after losing the election. I hope that cheered up your day.

Done my shift on Twitter this morning!

"Why Defeats For Bolsonaro & Vučić Are Bad News For Left Wing Politics, Actually" - Finty Bucklefast in tomorrow's Telegraph.

What’s so moving about the election results in Brazil & Serbia & global student protests is you think you’re alone wanting things to be different & then suddenly you realise the young generation has got this . They are outmanoeuvring unhinged wealth & power , we have so much to learn from them .

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.

Only one manager had normal hair…

Burnham is doing what Starmer should have done. He is making the case that Brexit hasn't worked, saying what his own view is, and explaining what the likely choices are, and where the ownership of decisions will rest. Ie proper grown up politics for the first time in years

Brilliant idea but stop calling it the ‘nation’s high street’!

“USA! USA! USA!”

Bolsonaro's loss is not just a loss for Bolsonaro. It's a loss for Trump. For Musk. For Milei. For Netanyahu. For Farage. For Meta and Zuckerberg. For the meat barons, the fossil fuel corporations, and the rest of the neocolonial looters. And it is a massive win for humanity and the living planet.

Jair Bolsonaro thought he would be free tomorrow. Now he will spend the rest of life in jail.

Meanwhile, pro-democracy, pro-Europe protesters in Tbilisi, Georgia, are tonight nearing their 700th consecutive day of protest against the pro-Russian government. They haven't missed a single day in the last 23 months.

Brazil, thank you for winning 👍

Good morning America…here’s your President. “USA! USA! USA!”

Your regular reminder...

Lula wins fourth term as Brazil president after historic upset over far-right Flávio Bolsonaro

Bolsonaro has refused to concede defeat because of course he has. Always the same with these fashy dickheads. They accuse their opponents of cheating because their cheating didn't work this time. Every accusation is a confession. Always.

I find it absolutely mind-blowing that people are still talking about last season and our players last season and seem to still make no correlation between Jota's death and certain players form. We've had players talk now and express just how bad it was, and still...🤯
