Kevin Maguire is spot on, all this talk about people stocking up is part of a wider lobbying campaign to increase defence spending. And as Kevin points out, the UK is already the 6th biggest defence spender in the world.

Expect US/ Western instigated unrest in Brazil after Lula's election win.
Lula needs to clamp down on the fascists. Life in prison for those caught in acts of treason.

You taught us this just as well / That the rich man heaven is the poor man's hell

If capital celebrated the first round of the Brazilian elections, it’s mourning the second round. The São Paulo stock exchange fell 17 percent this morning – the steepest fall since 1992 – and the Brazilian real suffered its biggest drop against the dollar in more than 30 years.
“Markets were broadly positioned for a Bolsonaro victory”, and clearly they really liked the idea of deregulation and austerity, pushing the cost of capitalist crisis onto the poorest households. We needn’t feel too sorry for these scoundrels.

The media tried to paint Lula as the Brazilian Biden. Nope. Biden is a senile war criminal directly responsible for most of the ethnic cleansing in Gaza—and a serial loser.
Lula is a working class hero and one of the most skilled politicians to have ever lived.

Raphinha, who plays for Barcelona, will be remembered as the most famous footballer to openly show his support for Lula against far-right Bolsonaro in Brazil’s elections.

This election is a win for 10% of all species on Earth that live in the Amazon. A win for 400+ Indigenous groups who are its best protectors. Sustainability is not charity. It's strategy.

Latin America has not fallen to the Monroe Doctrine yet.
The ‘B’ in BRICS resisted the will of Washington through mass mobilisation.
The US vassal candidate Flávio Bolsonaro was defeated. Lula Da Silva has triumphed.
Brazil will not go the way of Venezuela or Argentina.
Lula Da Silva has won Brazil’s🇧🇷 Presidential election.
Despite fierce US-Israel axis pressure, Brazil did not become the next Latin American country to fall to the revived Monroe Doctrine.
A major assault against the BRICS project has been thwarted.
Through popular resistance and mass mobilisation, the might and will of Washington’s empire of hypocrisy and barbarism can be thwarted.
Here is Lula in 1978, leading the metalworkers’ union strike against the US-backed fascist dictatorship, in which he secured wage increases. He was imprisoned by the dictatorship.

When you thought the election was all bought and paid for, then democracy kicks you in the face. #LulaPresidente

Jair Bolsonaro thought he would be free tomorrow.
Now he will spend the rest of life in jail.

It's a paedophilic rape cult with thousands of kidnapped men, women, and children held in rape and torture camps across occupied Palestine, starved, beaten, tortured, burned, raped, mutilated, terrorized for being Palestinian.
Zionism cartoonishly evil, Zionists are despicable

You mean the same racist hypocrites who are now denying that the victims of Zionism are victims of racism but who will remind you that the victims of Nazi racism must never be forgotten?
illinois cook 🇵🇸 retweeted
In Britain, the establishment liberal position is that it’s racist to describe Zionism, a Racist ideology, as racist, and if you say that it is, clearly, racist, then some of the most racist people in the country will accuse you of being a racist.

Después de perder la primera vuelta, André Janones abrió el canal de WhatsApp 'Ejército de Lula', que pasó de 50.000 a 10 millones de afiliados, para contrarrestar los bulos y la desinformación de la extrema derecha de Bolsonaro.

Not a single new water reservoir has been built since Water Privatisation in 1989, despite UK population growing from 57 million to 69.5 million.
Failed state. Westminster betrays its citizens to enrich unaccountable offshore private equity.
Exclusive from @breeallegretti
Ministers have been secretly warned that some English reservoirs are at risk of running dry, hitting water supplies to homes in the run-up to Christmas
The government’s emergency committee, known as Cobra, is meeting up to twice a week to discuss the situation in the southwest of England and Sussex
A secret “reasonable worst-case scenario” was drawn up, anticipating that several reservoirs’ water stocks could fall to 0 per cent — dubbed “day zero” — within weeks
Officials warned that without action, supplies to some homes could be affected, along with disruption to the construction of a nuclear power station and operations at a prison
Wimbleball reservoir, which supplies more than 400,000 people in Somerset, has 13 per cent of its capacity, while Ardingly, which serves 280,000 customers across West Sussex, is at 17 per cent
Ministers battling to avoid reservoirs running dry by Christmas
