Lula has won the Brazilian presidential runoff. But, as @brumelianebrum wrote on Saturday, the first round results still spell trouble for the Amazon. Seven of the forest’s nine governors now have ties to Bolsonarism... prospectmagazine.co.uk/polit…

Brazil is a warning for the world

The return of Bolsonarism could mean the death of the Amazon. Other countries must take heed

LULA WINS! A huge victory for the workers of Brazil, for the left globally, for the planet, for peace over war. He has defeated the US & its corrupt lackeys, Big Tech & Trump. What has just happened in Brazil could happen across the world: the forces of justice, equality, peace & antiracism can defeat our corrupt, mendacious, racist, warmongering political establishments. Viva Lula Viva Viva Brazil Viva ✊✊✊✊✊✊
COMBATE |🇵🇷

Lula Da Silva: "The world spends $2.7 trillion a year on weapons while people starve." "With every war Israel starts, somehow the last shot always has to land in Lebanon." "They talk about Cuba being socialist, while Haiti starves next door -- and nobody says a word."

Burnham is acting like the Prime Minister of and for and only for Manchester
YES Brechin@BrechinYes2Oct 25
Burnham tells us there is a new AI development centre on its way just after the budget. Guess where it's being situated? Of course in his North. Manchester. He gives the go ahead for the Jackdaw Gas Field. Guess where the revenues go? London. In Scotland? When will we ever learn.

We’ve covered 4 elections and 3 coups (or coup attempts). Today’s Lula rally on São Paulo’s Avenida Paulista was the biggest political demonstration we have ever seen.

Ex Conservative Prime Minister Harold Macmillan ripped apart Margaret Thatcher's privatisation while she was doing it at a Tory Party conference, "Selling off the family silver" she's is just selling off the nations assets because she has run out of money.

“No war is inevitable, no life is worth less than another.” “When some were betting on bombs, we said no to war.” “When it was demanded we raised military spending to 5%, we said no to cutting the welfare state.” We need these principles from MP’s in Westminster.

Durante estos años, España ha defendido en el mundo el sentir de su gente: que ninguna guerra es inevitable, que ninguna vida vale menos que otra. Los mismos principios. En todos los conflictos. Sin dobles raseros.

More than third of post offices in TG Jones (formerly WH Smith) stores to shut by early 2027 WH Smith was bought by private equity, shut-down shops. Many towns/districts are without a bank branch or a post office. Cuts footfall, bad news for traders. theguardian.com/business/202…
