What do politicians think they gain by posting pictures of themselves at Remembrance services... 🤷🏽♀️

At no point has Jacob Murphy forced anyone to start him/keep him at the club. Hes lived his dream, and contributed a lot, including the assist for the winner in the cup final.
Don’t rate him? Sound
But the abuse is absolutely mental and I’m not surprised he reacted like that

Yaxley Lennon was involved in mob violence in Ireland on Saturday. He is on bail in the UK awaiting sentencing on Dec 16th. Perhaps best if he spends that time in jail theguardian.com/uk-news/2026…

Nous sommes confrontés à une crise globale de la civilisation humaine. C'est à cela que le programme L'Avenir en commun veut répondre.
Les crises se superposent les unes aux autres : géopolitiques, financières et celle de tout le vivant, humains, animaux, végétaux. Tout est menacé par ce système. Notre programme, c'est d'abord une vision d'ensemble pour réorganiser notre pays en profondeur sur la base de ce diagnostic.
Je n'ai qu'une chose raisonnable à vous proposer : il faut tout changer.

We want the UK Government to launch an inquiry into any British involvement in Israeli operations in Gaza.
This petition is so close to the 100,000 needed to be considered for a debate in Parliament.
Please sign & share - let's get it over the line!

Burnham is the latest in a long line of British PMs needing very little encouragement, by way of evidence, to support illegal US military action.
When he claims Britain isn’t involved in Trump and Netanyahu’s Middle East wars, he lying.

On Remembrance Sunday, we remember all those who have been killed by war.
Every year, I am reminded of the words of Wilfred Owen: “What passing-bells for these who die as cattle? Only the monstrous anger of the guns.”
Today, let us vow to build a world of peace for all.

French Presidential Candidate Jean-Luc Mélenchon:
We will act directly to come to the aid of the Palestinians, not only against the genocide in Gaza but also against the progressive annexation of the West Bank.
French ships, like those of Italy and Spain, will, if necessary, escort the flotillas of citizens mobilized to defend the rights of the Palestinian people.
We do not accept the progressive annexation of the West Bank, nor of southern Lebanon, nor of the Golan Heights.
We will concretely organize mobilization against the expansion of atrocities targeting Christian communities under siege and persecution in Palestine and Lebanon.

Genius! Well done to all @newscord_org for coming up with the comprehensive “BBC: The Would Say Files" that documents the Corporation’s highly selective use of official Israeli statements (ie mostly denials of accusations) newscord.org/editorials/bbc-…

La France est en état d'ébullition sociale. Par l'action, puis par les élections, notre peuple va trouver une solution globale à ces difficultés.
Le mouvement de la jeunesse pour ses conditions d'études dit : « À bas le projet libéral, dont Parcoursup et la destruction de l'enseignement public sont les emblèmes répugnants ».
Les jeunes ont été immédiatement rejoints par leurs parents et par les syndicats de salariés, contre la vie chère, contre les prix spoliateurs des carburants, de l'électricité et du gaz.
Nous sommes tous ici, à leurs côtés, aujourd'hui et demain, dans la rue.

L'unité de la Nation est mise en cause par le racisme et l'abandon libéral des populations.
La Nouvelle France doit devenir fédératrice de son peuple. Elle doit être une nouvelle ère de triomphe des principes républicains.
C'est l'ère de la transition vers une société dirigée par l'entraide et la solidarité ! Voilà pourquoi mon affiche comporte les trois mots : Liberté, égalité, solidarité !
Amis, Macron vous a dit « vous n'êtes rien ».
Alors zou, soyons tout !

Dr. Abdul El-Sayed just posted a beautiful behind the scenes video from when the polls closed until he took the stage for his victory speech.
Watch this. I am crying again. Hope and democracy won. Michigan won and you won Dr. Abdul 💙

Trump wants WW3. If this Iran blockade launches, he thinks he can retreat with his mates to his nuclear palace under the ballroom like Hitler's bunker, & emerge as king of the rubble.
Why are Burnham & Europe going along with US wars? Where's the challenge?
⚠️ THIS IS NOT A DRILL ⚠️
The US has officially declared a complete BLOCKADE against Iran's land export routes and the Caspian Sea.
A CENTCOM order has been issued creating Task Force Iron Gate -- to stop "advanced weapons systems, dual-use technologies, sanctioned materials, and illegal revenue streams."
What this means:
▪️ This is not a sanction. This is a SEA AND LAND BLOCKADE.
▪️ Every route across Iran's land borders and the Caspian to Russia, Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan, and Turkmenistan is covered
▪️ Ports. Borders. The Caspian. All under one blockade.
▪️ The ENTIRE naval blockade of Iran's ports stays. It stopped over $25 billion in oil exports
This changes everything.
A sea blockade can be dodged by land.
A land and sea blockade cannot.
Iran's economy is in real trouble, inflation near 90%. We just entered the most dangerous phase. If you're not paying attention - start now.
