Farage and Jenrick should be sanctioned and banned from the House of Commons for this behaviour alone...

Breaking news: Brazil’s leading right-wing politician, Flávio Bolsonaro, effectively conceded defeat to the incumbent left-wing president, after President Trump indicated he wouldn't intervene despite saying that the vote “looked like another rigged election.”

It is beautiful to watch Ava-Santina Evans on #PoliticsLive. She is tying up Bernard Jenkin in knots and debunking virtually everything he says

Conservative MP Bernard, totally out of touch, Jenkin on #PoliticsLive

Don Trump Jr, the son of the President of the USA, spent two days hunting endangered animals with Umar Kremlev, an oligarch from Putin's inner circle

Renewables like wind and solar help protect you from the worst of climate disasters like heatwaves and floods. They can also help shield you from higher bills when oil and gas prices go through the roof.

Is it patriotic that 80% of the money received by Reform UK from donations in the year 2025-26 has come from individuals or companies who have been based abroad in the past two years? Reform say that they are the party of the people. Rich, foreign people

Happy National Black Cat Day from Kedi #NationalBlackCatDay #BlackCat #Caturday

Does this Labour Government actually care about the environment? It seems that they do not @mrjamesob.bsky.social

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 😅

She's on another planet

🧵 Wow - this article is bordering on unhinged! Apparently the BBC is akin to a “North Korean re-education camp” for teaching children about net-zero and covering both the pros AND cons of immigration Join me for a masterclass in cherry-picking and context stripping to brainwash your own readers👍🏻

Musk, Trump and now Hegseth doing whatever Putin wants

Has anyone seen Mr Hegseth? We know that Musk and Trump are supporting Russia, it seems that Hegseth is as well

Has anyone else noticed that the patriotic, self confessed racist, Reform UK mouthpiece Gawain Towler is the only person on #politicslive not wearing a poppy? #PoppyRage

Any chance that someone will ask Gawain Towler about his self confessed racism? #politicslive

Victory for Lula, who has already reduced Amazon deforestation by 70% since 2022, means there is now a chance of ending deforestation of the rainforest entirely I’m weeping with joy for Brazil, for the Indigenous peoples of the Amazon, and for life on Earth 🇧🇷🌳🌎 www.theguardian.com/world/2026/o...

@mrjamesob.bsky.social To add to your story

Reminder: Trump and Netanyahu ready to reignite war with Iran days before Israel's election. Netanyahu wants a war to save his political career, with Trump willing to explode global gas prices again, kill more Iranian civilians and put US troops, allied countries in harm's way to help him.

Andy Burnham, please do the same

Reform UK are announcing the Brexit greatest hits tour @mrjamesob.bsky.social

Reform and Tories have pledged to reverse ULEZ repeatedly.

💯The case for democracy is not that voters are always right, or wise, or good. It's that they can correct their mistakes. That's why it's so dangerous to have billionaires controlling the media or regulating the flow of information. It shuts down the immune system of democracy.

I look forward to road signs being in miles and pubs selling beer in pints. Oh, wait......

A practice run for the US mid-terms? Will we get a January 6th greatest hits tour?

ICYMI: Politicians are turning their backs on X, but the government has yet to offer the public a clear alternative. citizensreunited.substack.com/p/calls-for-...

Two steps forward, one step back. Brazil and Serbia are the two steps forward. Will Israel or New Zealand be the one step back?

Trump, Zuckerberg, voter manipulation and facsism have lost. The planet, the Amazon, the poor and minorities have won. Well done Brazil

Pleased for the result in Serbia. Fingers crossed now for Brazil, but I am worried about voter suppression there

Because of Elon Musk, Tesla sales have been falling for the last couple of years. I hope that the world now starts to stop using Starlink and SpaceX as well

So, in one of the more ridiculous/elaborate what-ifs of history, it’s possible that if one man hadn’t been bitten by a monkey, Greece would be much bigger than it is; Türkiye wouldn’t be Türkiye, and would be smaller; and Queen Elizabeth II would have married someone completely different

Climate change is here - rainfall, drought, muddled seasons. And every drop of petrol, every cubic metre of gas, every log on the burner makes it worse. Please think before you burn.

Reform UK's Suella Braverman claims massive taxpayer-funded water bill at home equal to 18 baths a day Claims to have used 1,504 litres of water daily at £1.2m four-bedroom pad. Reform have promised benefit cuts for the disabled, old, sick, poor! www.mirror.co.uk/news/politic...?

I love the way that Brighton celebrates its victories

Is there any statistics about NEETs and Brexit? Freedom of movement would give our young people so many opportunities

“How long can we tolerate Elon Musk deciding our elections and foreign policy? How critical is it that investigations immediately begin if and when the Democrats take back power? Should Starlink and SpaceX be nationalized to minimize Musk’s power?” www.americaamerica.news/p/how-long-c...

I don’t want the world to remember Ukraine only for its ruins. Look at our streets. Our people. Our smiles. This is the Ukraine no missile can erase🇺🇦 #ukraine #ukrainian #ukrainians #ukrainiangirl #war

This is just dreadful stuff from Kuenssberg: "What has the government done to cut the national debt?" ONS: "Public sector net debt was provisionally estimated at 94.0% of GDP, 0.7 percentage points lower than a year earlier"

Can someone ask Andy Burnham and the UK Government why they are still using the platform that is owned by someone whose actions are killing Ukranian citizens and is clearly putting Russian interests first

“He’s got the White House looking like Saddam Hussein opened up a Cheesecake Factory” — Obama

That moment when you find out that a private citizen is more powerful than the leader of the free world. Yes, that moment

Elon Musk Just what an incredible fall from grace… From innovative, eco-conscious, cool nerd… 
To depraved, entitled, evil, war-mongering, self-radicalised fuckwit.

To help Brits understand that distance, London to Moscow is roughly 2,500km

Explore this gift article from The New York Times. You can read it for free without a subscription. www.nytimes.com/2026/10/24/c... Trump & his vile sycophants are literally trying to kill us to maximize corporate profits.

How many people have died thanks to Musk, Trump or both of them?

What this shows is that kissing Trump’s ass always fails. He reacts only to pressure. In this case terrible US polling, screaming Republicans, and catastrophic damage being done to US defense companies.
