Russell Brand has been found guilty of rape and sexual assault. I'm shocked because I was certain he would get away with his crimes.
The fact that Brand is a rapist was an open secret on the British comedy circuit. A friend of mine knows one of his victims.
One of the things I learned over the last few years is how many people in the entertainment industry are good, decent people and how many are compromised by their own desire for power, money and clicks.
Francis and I shared what we knew about Brand with people who were thinking of working with him and many of them immediately recognised we were telling the truth and stopped any association with him. Others, not so much.
This is even more true of his former employers like Channel 4 and the BBC. I am not saying everyone at those organisations knew but many people definitely did and they not only didn't say anything, some of them actively protected him.
I hope the verdict today brings closure and peace to his victims and serves as a reminder to powerful people who abuse their position to take advantage of others that they won't get away with it forever.

The fake news media is now saying that Republicans could lose Kansas, Iowa, South Carolina, Texas, Michigan, North Carolina, Alaska and that others such as Mississippi could be within the margin of error. Basically the Democrats can sweep every seat this election. I’ve never seen a bigger bunch of baloney. It’s all fake and absurd.

That’s a shame Michael because with the amount of shit you talk you’re going to need 2; one to wipe your arse and the other your mouth.
Trump could have won the Vietnam war in a week by bombing the US’s ally. What a complete idiot this man is. Brains of a rocking horse. Yet everyone cheers. Fucking morons too…..
"Avrei potuto vincere la guerra del Vietnam in una settimana. Hanno continuato a bombardare le foreste per anni invece di puntare su Ho Chi Minh City".
Ho Chi Minh City (allora Saigon) era la capitale del Vietnam del Sud, alleato degli USA nella guerra.

I’m currently studying sports journalism at Sheffield Hallam University and I’m looking for a work placement for next year to gain experience in the industry.
I've been running the podcast for the past five years, which has given me valuable experience and opportunities in media but I’m now keen to build on that experience and develop my journalism skills in the industry.
Please see the link to my work -youtube.com/@lukewalsh2007?s…
I'll be based in Sheffield next year but am happy to travel for the right opportunity.
All retweets appreciated👍

15-year-olds Yana and Masha. 💔 Killed by a Russian missile strike on Chernihiv on today.
The girls were 10th-grade students. They had their whole lives ahead of them. If only it weren't for Russia.

14 dead at a train station in Dnipro.
Two 15-year-old girls killed by a cruise missile in Chernihiv.
Three dead in a Kremenchuk apartment strike.
56 injured, including 10 children.
This is the reality of the Russian invasion.
Yet the Trump administration just publicly called Putin a "humanitarian" while waiving sanctions, lifting tariffs, and authorizing the import of Russian diesel.
We are no longer just abandoning a democratic ally; we are actively funding their slaughter.

The communists, fascists and assorted contrarian cranks all align perfectly on this issue: squarely on the side of Russia and against Britain.

You know, I've been racking my brain trying to remember when else in history a great military power launched a war of aggression against a neighboring country, failed to defeat it on the battlefield for years -- and then the leadership of another great power (which the aggressor had regarded as its archenemy until just yesterday!!) engaged in petty, sordid collusion with the aggressor, made a complete 180-degree turn, and began actively working to force its undefeated victim into capitulation and extinction as a nation.
I'm honestly trying to think of historical precedents -- but it seems that never before in the history of this world under the heavens has there been such a spectacular display of deranged idiocy.

There are people out there claiming PIP for their "social anxiety" and this guy's fully Hawking and still managing to orchestrate international terror. Be inspired.

No, @elonmusk, the U.S. stopped funding Ukraine last year. In fact, U.S. companies make money on American weapons for which we Europeans pay.
The more you meddle in our politics and the more you play politics with your products, the more you damage your brand.

As an African immigrant, lefty/liberal white women like her are the absolute worst creatures on the planet. They grow up privileged in the West, then try to lecture us who actually had to move here LEGALLY on how they know more about our own race, struggles, and wear oppression as a cloth
They claim to care about black lives they don't. They only want to hear narratives that they can larp as white saviors for. Their so called empathy is very shallow and fake. As you can see by how she doesn't even think of the shop owners livelihood and employees. The working class
Which is why they get so pissed off and vitriolic when you call them out on their bullshit. These white women don't care about truth, can't think. All that matters is the feeling they get from being "white saviors". Except they're not saving anything. They're destroying everything

My latest: Ukraine’s Starshield access is still crippled, no-one is taking the blame, and Ukrainian soldiers and civilians are dying because of it.

A Ukrainian soldier serving in Iraq in 2003. Ukraine deployed more than 6,000 troops to the U.S.-led Operation Iraqi Freedom; 18 were killed and 40 were wounded.
At least they were humanitarian missiles this time eh @SteveWitkoff
🚨 Explosions light up Kyiv’s night sky as Russian strikes injure 15 people
Overnight on October 22, Russian forces once again attacked the Ukrainian capital. Powerful flashes lit up the city as explosions echoed and air raid sirens blared.
The strikes damaged metro infrastructure on the Southern Bridge over the Dnipro River, forcing authorities to restrict traffic.
Kyiv had already been targeted by another Russian attack the previous evening, leaving six more people injured.
