Lula’s victory will be greeted with horror in Silicon Valley. Outside the EU, Brazil has been the biggest holders to account of US tech firms. And Facebook’s actions before the election deserve proper scrutiny
Lula victory speech: "We had to overcome foreign interference through digital platforms, which we will have to regulate. We cannot have monstrously huge corporations earning millions & billions, paying no taxes to this country & trying to steer this country's election results."

Trump just called Obama’s crowd size small. 🤣 This is the video he doesn’t want you to see. Get this everywhere!
🚨OBAMA IS LIVING IN TRUMP’S HEAD RENT FREE: “TRUMP: You know, my competitor was here yesterday. He didn't have a crowd like this, I can tell you. You know, they used the word sparse. This is not sparse.” When it comes to comparing Obama’s size, Trump will NEVER measure up!

Still absorbing the utter brilliance of this movie. Beautifully acted, scripted ,and filmed, it lives as hauntingly in the present as it does in the past. Deserves all the prizes

Over 500,000 people marched in France last weekend. The vast majority were unmasked and white. They were protesting against the cost of living and poor public services. Don't fall for the rightwing spin.

Before Google’s arrival a few months ago, an estimated 250,000 trees occupied the 330 hectares (815 acres) of forest near Muhos in rural northern Finland. Now they are all gone, the tech company illegally stripped the entire area to build a datacentre theguardian.com/environment/…

So Kemi Badenoch wants to pay for new prison cells by cutting £1bn from culture, media and sport? That means youth clubs, leisure centres, sports pitches, arts projects and music venues, places that give young people somewhere to go and learn teamwork and self discipline, all of that: gone. That’s not tough on crime, that’s building a pipeline into the very prisons you're promising! And this from a party that added fewer than 500 prison places in a decade, and left communities like mine fighting to keep leisure centres open in the first place. Disgraceful.

The front page of @ScotNational tomorrow is what every UK newspaper front page should look like. But, as throughout the entirety of the genocide, it stands alone with a moral backbone, not afraid to tell the truth about the horrors the rest of the press whitewash.

Sadly there was a climate & nature shaped hole at the heart of Burnham’s speech. Just the same old words on a “pragmatic” approach to North Sea drilling. There’s nothing pragmatic about pouring fuel on a scorching earth - he should rule out #Rosebank & Jackdaw now @fossilfreeLDN

How wonderful to see the big, beautiful brain of Maynard Keynes made the hero of J Graham's new play. Stellar acting by Rory Kinnear & delicious performance by Natalia Osipova as Maynard's great love, Lydia Lopokova I loved writing about them in my biog. Bloomsbury Ballerina.
