Proud that Scotland is an inspiration to an inspiring mayor - best of luck to #Mamdani and his team. The SNP have plenty more progressive ideas you can borrow 😉

Not just Trump, but many other powerful people.
And that's why he's dead.

" ... we call it 'The Aristocrats!'"
The attorney general and the FBI director, a manosphere podcaster bro, pulled into the situation room a member of Congress best known for getting kicked out of a Beetlejuice musical for drunkenly giving her date a handy, in order to pressure her about the president's child sex trafficking scandal.

Big news comrades. 🔥

We'll be releasing a brand new track 'No Comment' with the legend @subfocus.bsky.social on November 18th. 💥

We are honoured that Banksy let us use his London High Court mural for the release artwork.

One problem the BBC has is that it has lost the trust of so many people (like me) who would otherwise be it's natural supporters.
A short thread.

Excellent thread
BBC are the original media liars in Scotland. Indyref was invigorating — ordinary working folk engaged, talking politics, hopes, dreams. A cracking time. ✊

🚨 I pledge to NEVER step foot in a Walmart again. If I cannot afford it or find it elsewhere, I do not need it. White people MUST take a stand. This openly hostile contempt for black people cannot be tolerated or dismissed. I am not waiting for a national strike - I am DONE. Who will join me?

Now this is what everyone knows is *Institutional BBC Scotland Bias* in plain sight: anti-Scottish, anti-Scottish Govt & extremely hostile to SNP. The Question is why should Scots pay for this BBC abuse & rubbishing of our cultural life?
Matt Chorley on 5Live did not interrupt Reeves, but let her give full answers to his questions. This never happens on BBC Scot with the FM or any Scot Govt minister: instead the BBC uses overly aggressive questioning, ministers prevented from developing their answers & rude continual interruption.

With the Greens often now ahead of Labour in polls in England, will Labour give their word that they would support a Green Party government? Or would they let Reform / Tories take power?

Never pander to the right wing.
Obviously ridiculous, but it's a problem the BBC have made for themselves.
When the right-wing want to tell you what to do, and you do it, you'll be pushed further and further until you're destroyed.

As soon as they try it on the first time, you tell them to ram it.

Darkly comic that under Tim Davie's leadership the BBC has consistently lied about immigration, supported a genocide and platformed fascists, but he's had to resign for a misleading report about Donald Trump.

Can anyone believe this?! The headlines UK media are using to describe Labour - like the Sunday Times here - are headlines never used to describe the Tories, who gave us 14 years of the most corrupt, incompetent and malicious government in living memory.

1/ The US Government has quietly removed a memorial to Black soldiers who died in World War II from the Netherlands American Cemetery in Margraten, South Limburg. The move follows a complaint from the right-wing Heritage Foundation to the American Battle Monuments Commission. ⬇️

At this point in the long cycle, when the concentration of wealth and power has reached a historical extreme, those at the top always try to overthrow the system to cement their dominance and control for eternity. Same place as 1920s/1930s, 1850s/1860s, late 1700s.
"In this video, The Intellectualist examines whether economic inequality in the U.S. today is worse than pre-revolutionary France. Using Federal Reserve, CBO data, and economic history, we reveal a shocking answer: the wealth gap in America is worse."

Here's a story about what happens if the government doesn't reopen.

Some of the things in this story are already happening.

I wonder how much more will happen.

Maybe they were spooked by election results this week; but GOP was fine with Musk giving a Nazi salute at Trump's inauguration celebration & Bannon giving a Nazi salute at CPAC a month later. The party is riddled with Nazis at the very top, including Trump & Miller, and donors such as Musk & Theil

*Again* the top story on BBC 6 music is about immigration

How is Shabana Mahmood wanting to introduce a ‘Danish style’ system for refugees the top story this morning?!?

The obsession of 6 Music news on immigration and asylum is frankly bizarre

Starmer will go down in history as the man who destroyed a 100 year old Labour movement by selling it out to the rich for the sake of his own career and advancement. The Tories are dead, Labour is dead, time for a new left based on the Greens, the Celtic indy parties & the old Labour left.

Andrew Lownie wrote an explosive book about Prince Andrew

Then came the backlash. Legal threats. Palace sources told journalists not to speak to him

Anonymous social media accounts accused Lownie of visiting sex workers.
