Why has this platform been overflowing with ill-informed anti-Muslim hatred over the past few days? Could it have anything to do with the person who owns it? (Elon: you can ban me if you want. If it is over this post, I will regard it as a badge of pride.)

I do not agree with @elonmusk's assessment as to the better candidate to be mayor of New York, but it is as much my business as it is his. And I cannot stand the barely disguised racism of his reference to the other principal candidate in the election. Bar me if you will, Musk.
Remember to vote tomorrow in New York! Bear in mind that a vote for Curtis is really a vote for Mumdumi or whatever his name is. VOTE CUOMO!

Karma will come for you some day, you horror.
Trump: Biden was always a mean sob.. Not working out too well for him right now. So, when you start feeling sorry for him, remember he’s a bad guy. *Biden was recently diagnosed with an aggressive form of prostate cancer that has spread to his bones. https://t.co/XfEzx4WdH9

Ah, he has Maradona on his side... got to be totally virtuous then?
Eric Trump: "Make no mistake, he is heaven-bound. He’s probably too humbled to say it. I can say it as his son because I've seen the hand of God on him for a very long time.”

I know none of them needed to be taken hostage in the first place, but @LauraLoomer has just displayed in public precisely where her own morals and concern with the truth lie. (Is there any evidence at all for saying that Mohammed raped and murdered women anyway?)

Obviously this film will emphasise King Kenny's time with Liverpool more than his time with Celtic, but I am pleased to see that he does also feature in the Hoops here. This one will be a must see.
Delighted that ‘Kenny Dalglish’, directed by Asif Kapadia, will have its world premiere at the Rome Film Festival on 21st October. It’s an honour and a huge thank you to everyone who helped make it happen. ❤️ YNWA #KennyDalglish

And proudly proclaiming the annexation of the Golan Heights...
So in summary, Trump does whatever Zionist megadonor Miriam Adelson tells him to do and Adelson loves Israel more than America, and that's why Trump has been committing genocide in Gaza and bombing Iran while stomping out free speech against Israel in the United States.

Oooh, look at the look on CR7's face at the end... (and it was a magnificent goal!)

Greta Thunberg here... the text accompanying the image is clear.
🚨 “My name is Greta Thunberg . I'm a citizen of Sweden. If you are watching this video, I have been abducted and taken against my will by Israeli forces.. Please tell my government to demand my and the others' immediate release.” JUSTICE FOR GRETA https://t.co/sg5p8Dq4LI

Also from Keir Starmer: 'We do not want to become an island of strangers'. The man is a slimy opportunist.
“You mentioned your grave concern about the Reform policy to deport people who already live here. Do you think that’s an amoral policy?” - @bbclaurak “Yes I do” - @Keir_Starmer 👏

Worth reading as a counterpoint to some of the ludicrous claims made about asylum seekers in hotels in the UK...
Asylum seekers are not housed in fancy hotels. ⚠️ 🚨 This is the reality ⬇️ "As I eat a meal cooked on the floor of a shower, I realise nothing has prepared me for what life is like for the residents of an asylum hotel." https://t.co/oX8bJm8Rz7

Is this picture for real? Was she really carrying a bag with a huge dollar sign on it? Where is the t-shirt with the slogan 'swag'? Was anything nicked from Windsor Castle on the night?
WHY IS SHE DRESSED LIKE THE FUCKING HAMBURGLER 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

An important read here from William Dalrymple, who is always very good on setting historical contexts.
Britain must help establish a Palestinian state It has a historical responsibility to do so My piece @NewStatesman

As Trump brings two tech giants with him to Windsor for the state visit to the UK, and Starmer boasts about the Tech Partnership which he has reached with the USA, just what does it involve? Why is nobody talking about this?
Here it is. The UK digital slavery deal in which we invite the worst companies on the planet to feast themselves on our national assets & compromise our national security. This isn’t just naive, it’s dangerous. We have just tied ourselves to a technofascist surveillance state.

Better late than never, but clearly reactive rather than proactive. Starmer is pathetic.
BREAKING: Lord Mandelson has been withdrawn as UK ambassador to the United States. Speaking in the House of Commons, Labour minister Stephen Doughty confirmed the prime minister's decision to remove Mandelson from his post

'It's not really political, but I'm just reminding all these foreigners whose country they are in'. 'It's all grassroots, but I got the flags from Tommy Robinson'. I don't know if the man in this video is an idiotic dupe, but what he represents is deeply sinister, either way.
NOTHING will prepare you for this 45-second story arc. From "I'm just doing this because I love the flag, it's totally grassroots, and I'm not part of anything political"... to who *actually gave him* the flags. Anyone who believes it is an innocent movement needs to see this.

Yes, fine words here from former Scottish First Minister Humza Yousaf. I sincerely hope the saltire does not end up going down the same path into the gutter as the St. George's Cross sadly has in recent years.
The Saltire doesn't belong to one group, it belongs to us all. It's a symbol that welcomes all who call Scotland their home, not a symbol to try and shut people out. We can't afford to be passive, we need to mobilise & confront the forces of hatred that are trying to divide us.

Good luck to big Ange. Somehow I suspect his recent claim to have 'always won a trophy in his second season' could come back to haunt him this time. But I wish him the very best. He undoubtedly sets very high standards.
Nottingham Forest is delighted to confirm the appointment of Ange Postecoglou as the Club’s First Team Head Coach. Postecoglou has been in management for over 25 years, arriving on Trentside with experience of regularly competing and winning trophies at the highest level.

Wow! I think we need this guy on the mainstream TV in the UK. Watch as he eviscerates Farage in a way that I have never seen done on British news programmes.
Nigel Farage looks uncomfortable as Jamie Raskin uses his opening statement to absolutely demolish him
