#Brexit is *not* the will of the people. It's the result of one vote based on a false prospectus. @BBCr4today #Remain #eu

I'm confused, outraged, and upset by the lack of the world's reaction to the criminal Russian double-tap in Komyshuvakha.
Search and rescue operations have been underway for 3 days now following a Russian strike on a school. Russians launched 9 guided aerial bombs, initially targeting residents gathered to receive humanitarian aid, and then striking the first responders and police officers who arrived at the scene.
People were there to receive bread!
The death toll is currently at 40 people, with over 30 still missing, and after three days, considering the explosions were so strong that recovered bodies are actually "fragments," that means that they are likely gone too.
I can't understand why this is not news, why the f*** is this normalized???

🇺🇦 A 13-year-old Ukrainian student named Arina Pidruchna was killed on November 1, 2026, during a Russian drone strike on the city of Koziatyn in the Vinnytsia Oblast.
Reports indicate the drone hit a playground directly in front of a high school dormitory being used to house refugees.
Arina was an exceptionally bright student, class monitor, and a frequent winner of academic olympiads in the sciences.
Her teachers and peers remember her as a natural leader and the true "soul of her class." She was highly sociable, filled with life, and a deeply devoted older sister to her younger brother, Arsen.
Arina was also active in her faith, regularly attending a Pentecostal Sunday school in Koziatyn.
On the day of the attack, Sunday, November 1, 2026, she was on her way to meet a friend before heading to church. She was on the phone near a local shop when the drone approached, and her final reported words were: "I can see a Shahed..."
Rest in peace, Arina ✝️🕊️

I’m fed up with certain politicians saying we need to “respect” the result of the 2016 Brexit referendum.
A decision by a narrow majority 10yrs ago that turned out to be a disaster does not have to be respected.
If a democracy cannot change its mind it ceases to be a democracy.

Whas happened in the South from Virginia to S Carolina to Texas . LBJ knew he'd lost the south by supporting the Civil Rights Act and Voting Act - it's taken 60 years for that to go into reverse - and a glorious thing that it has. In Georgia, a black Governor...

💔 37 PEOPLE DEAD. THIRTY-SEVEN.
The death toll from russia’s horrific strike on Komyshuvakha, Ukraine, has risen to 37.
Rescuers are still searching through the rubble.
37 lives. 37 families shattered. And the number may still rise.
I have no words anymore. Just anger, heartbreak, and one question…
HOW MUCH MORE SUFFERING MUST UKRAINE ENDURE? 💔

The death toll from Russia's massacre in Komyshuvakha is now confirmed at 37 people, 48 are still listed as missing, 50 additional bodies might be trapped under the rubble.
Russia dropped multiple glide-bombs on civilians queuing for humanitarian aid.

This is why antisemism is a priority. Because they can’t/ won’t tackle the bin strikes, budget overspends, housing crisis: but they can unite people by attacking the Jew among nations.
In Birmingham we have ongoing bin strikes, mountains of rubbish, budget overspends, a housing crisis, and families with children in temporary accommodation.
The priority for some councillors? Boycott Israel.

Russia attacked a hospice for terminally ill elderly people in Dnipro today.
But remember, Putin is a "humanitarian" don't get it twisted.

Russians have released drone footage of them dropping a multi-ton guided bomb on a school in Zaporizhzhia, setting it to pop music.
This strike killed over 30 people.
This is Russian culture.

Today a Russian patient, at the end of the consultation said, could they ask me a question.
I said sure (feeling trepidatious)...
"You're Irish, why do they hate the Jews so much?"
The narrative is global. The noisy haters are damaging Ireland's reputation.

Truly remarkable 1 hour @BBCPanorama documentary last night.
What stood out very plainly was the sheer evil of this regime. The pure, unadulterated cruelty of the massacre in January after an order by the Supreme leader.
It records how it unexpected it was. We’ve seen the depths of what this regime is capable of, but never like this. One person says that what transpired in those two days “will be talked about for 200 years”.
It also captures the lies the regime spewed after. The very next day the Supreme leader declaring that Israeli and American insurgents “killed peaceful protesters - sometimes in deeply inhuman ways” - showed gaslighting on another level.
This is what was needed to be seen and what the world was prevented from being shown by the 3 month regime-imposed internet blackout.
People know now. Watch for yourself on catch up and understand what our fellow human beings in Iran have been up against for the last 47 years. bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/m0…
Important doc film on Iran protests in January that led to massacres (my pinned tweet says 43,000 but many of the 350,000 injured now confirmed dead). @BBCOne at 8pm. I’ve been critical of British journalists reporting from inside Iran but this one focusses on those who got out. Must watch TV tonight bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c3qj…

A Green Party councillor in Leicester has defected to Labour - saying she no longer recognises the party under Zack Polanski.
Liz Sahu, who represents Castle ward, says the Greens adopting a “Zionism is Racism” motion was the “final straw”.

Please share they will be executed before dawn…
HELP!
I'm asking you to spread this news as much as you can. Your likes and reposts matter. YOU matter, and we need you. Friends all over the world, be as loud as you can. I’m begging you to stop believing regime propaganda. These young men don’t deserve to die.
Amirhossein Maleki and Abolfazl Ebrahimi, both born in 2006, are at imminent risk of execution in Isfahan, Iran. After their final family visits, fears of their executions have intensified.
They are barely adults. Their lives are in danger.
Disturbing details of their sham trial:
- The case involved at least 59 arrested defendants.
- The trial reportedly consisted of only three brief hearings.
- Defendants were denied access to lawyers of their own choosing.
- Confessions were extracted under torture.
Iranians are living from one execution to the next. We can’t function properly anymore.

FACT CHECK:
✅ Local Green groups were given an opportunity to denounce the disgraceful "Zionism is Racism" policy and call on their leadership to do the same.
✅ Several did, and those local arrangements remain in place.
❌ It's disappointing more Green groups didn't feel they could do the same - we continue to call on the Green Party to drop this appalling policy.
✅ Today's action addresses support for this unacceptable policy - which clearly crosses a line. Local power sharing arrangements cannot come at the expense of upholding the moral obligation we have to stand up for everyone in our communities and the values we share.
❌ Today's action was not about whether people can or cannot criticise the actions of the Israeli Government - as the Labour Party repeatedly has.
❌ Any suggestion that today's action was about anything other than the "Zionism is Racism" policy is plain misinformation.
✅ Labour councillors will continue working hard day in, day out for their local communities. That's what we do.
