The Teasel

For all of you who wonder if #Epstein had anything to do with #Brexit - check out the link these two are talking about .

Israel votes today with polls showing it neck-and-neck between Netanyahu’s Far Right bloc and the mainly Hard Right opposition bloc. All but one of the leading Jewish parties have ruled out working with the Arab blocs.

A bad week for Trump and co?

Always double-check your ballot!

2 giant wins in 24 hours for progressives everywhere. The far-right just received a thrashing in both Brazil and Serbia. Lula's dramatic victory brings hope, not just for Brazil but for environmentalists worldwide in the battle against climate change. @greenparty.org.uk @greenjennyjones.bsky.social

I’m not saying BBc is bias but they cut life to Farage and reframe cuts to 100 basic food items as cheap marmalade and gherkins …. But you know, not bias- giving us all the facts.

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

“Farage & Jenrick were forced to face rows of empty seats as they set out a limp package of rehashed plans ahead of the Budget..The miserable turnout another sign of Reform’s sliding popularity…Ipsos this weekend put Labour on 32%, Tories on 24% & ReFUK on 20%..” www.mirror.co.uk/news/politic...

BBC TV news has degenerated beyond recognition

Five tests for nationalism in the next 10 days. Could be genuinely transformative. 🇷🇸 Serbia — Vucic lost (yay!) 🇧🇷 Brazil — Lula leads early count 🇮🇱 Israel — 27 Oct 🇧🇬 Bulgaria — 1 Nov 🇺🇸 USA — 3 Nov One down, one looks promising, three to go.

Private equity buys UK fertility clinics. PE already controls social care, hospitals, GP surgeries, dentistry, child fostering. Usual business model. High debt, quality of care declines, prices increase, high profits. When things go wrong, NHS has to step in, PE doesn't pay.

Just weeks after Professor Jason Arday was hounded to his death, Reform UK’s branch in Oxford has invited the racist academic who led the campaign, Nathan Cofnas, to speak. Tell the education secretary to protect students and academics from hate: https://goodlaw.social/u07r

New details about another rape allegation against Trump, this time from a former Miss Switzerland.

Anyone got hold of a decent emergency radio yet- one with good enough antenna?

The lessons from Brazil and Serbia? Don't concede one inch of ground to the far right. Don't appease. Don't triangulate. Don't grovel. Don't say they have "legitimate concerns". Mobilise your base, and fight them with all the democratic means at your disposal.

“Former Tory candidate suspended over contract killer claims was adviser in Kemi Badenoch’s office” This is Jack Ross, “COO” of Turning Point UK, the spin off from Charlie Kirk’s far right Turning Point USA. What’s crazy is he’s Tory, not Reform or Restore. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

wow, really, vucic concedes

#EpsteinFiles

Here’s a radical option: fully nationalise all water companies.

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.

No-one ever says “What are you talking about? What does the world you want look like? How are you proposing to get there?”

Melania taking credit for something the Pope did? I’m shocked.

They won't stop, but they will almost certainly ramp it up. The only hope for the world is if people more for Green parties around the world. Although ending government subsides to all fossil fuel companies and investing it in green technology instead will help.

One woman scientist named in UK’s GCSE science syllabus. Three named in A level science. How many men? 85 and 178. Funny that. Half of my 50 PhD students have been women; four of them (and one man) are now professors. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

The pedophile protection party’s president is laundering right-wing conspiracy theories through the most corrupt DOJ in American history. Whenever the news turns bad, this creep reaches for one name: mine. So let’s make it crystal clear. My name has always been Ilhan Omar.

They’re not alleging fraud or misconduct. They’re preemptively suing to block certification based on an outcome they haven’t accepted yet. It’s no longer a hypothetical talking point. The Justice Department is officially Trump’s election interference machine.

Another great opportunity for Trump to screw up the world: Senior Iranian officials have told Reuters of plans to attack undersea internet cables in the Gulf if the US or Israel strikes again. It also aims to block repairs, prolonging disruptions to internet services, banking and cloud computing.

In response to changing viewing habits, the BBC announces that it will continue making television, but not show it to anyone.

The Israeli government has banned children’s toys from entering Gaza? Are you fucking kidding me?!!!

I’ve never trusted this shitweasel.

Sure, we should, if we can (many cannot). But as I keep pointing out, the government itself is making no provision at all. No stockpiles, no back-up, no alternative sources. It's individuating the response to a collective problem, and that never ends well. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Meghan says she was informed about 'disturbing allegations' against her father in 2018 www.bbc.co.uk/news/article... They knew, they all knew. The Mail, the Royals and they let everyone vilify her for disowning her father.

Should the human race survive…… and he pauses a long time before he reluctantly says yes…… head of Plantir ……. They actually want mass extinction. They don’t need the poor.

The absolute TERROR of this! I wouldn’t have kids if I were young now. No wonder there’s a falling birth rate!

Prince Harry’s solicitor go bankrupt- but the other details show something isn’t normal about that case or this action.

Well this is entirely normal www.google.com/goto?url=CAE...

Russia…Iran…Reform…

Bulk cooking when you’re single is truly soul destroying……

"They can start cutting people's faces up. They can stab someone. They can shoot someone." EXCLUSIVE: Our hidden cameras capture the leader of Turning Point UK organising a fake rally for a foreign government and helping arrange a murder-for-hire with loyalist paramilitaries.
