What on earth is ITV talking about re. Sheinbaum's popularity? She's the most popular incumbent in the democratic world.

[Tom Rennie @tomrenniesoccer]

Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum has popularity ratings of over 60%. What is Jon Champion actually talking about there? She’s often discussed as the most popular leader in the world.

[Ben Studd @benstudd]

@harryxstuart What on earth is he on about? Sheinbaum is one of the most popular leaders in Latin America.

[Stand Up To Racism @AntiRacismDay]

Racist pogroms are taking place in #Belfast. The far right have mobilised in other cities.

We have to stop them weaponising the horrific knife attack to whip up racist violence. Read our statement ⬇️

Black people are almost 9 times likely to be stopped and searched, 5 times more likely to have force used against them. Much more likely to be charged and to be refused bail - National Police Chiefs' Council.
Real discrimination. Real two tiers.

Banning Cenk Uyghur and Hasan Piker from entering the UK is an absurd and cowardly decision from an increasingly authoritarian government.

Let us call this what it is: an attack on the freedom to criticise Israel, as well as the UK government’s own complicity in genocide.

[Zack Polanski @ZackPolanski]

This is a really grim decision alongside Cenk.

People often talk about dangerous road we'd go down under a Reform government - this is another clear warning we're down there already.

A Labour government doing everything possible to silence criticism of the Israeli Government.

@reluctantnicko I was at the game and as soon as it happened I yelled out: 'how do you even see that!?'

It's honestly baffling how he makes some of these passes.

Qué linda final de Conference habrá entre Rayo Vallecano y Crystal Palace.

Equipos de la gran capital, pero de la periferia. Barrios de la clase trabajadora. Resiliencia y orgullo local. Ejemplos de proyectos deportivos inteligentes.

El futbol no es solo de los de arriba.

[Ben Studd @benstudd]

@BBCMOTD @TomDutty Admin must be a QPR fan (or a Brighton fan on a wind up). Sean Derry made more than twice as many appearances for Palace, coached the U21s and first team, and Jesse was at the Palace academy since the age of six.

@ThePalaceWay If they're going to activate Lerma's contract extension for next year might as well give him another loan. Perfect replacement for when Lerma moves on.

❗️TRUMP HANDS OFF VENEZUELA! 🇻🇪

Yesterday the illegal show trial of President Maduro continued with a hearing in New York.

📢VSC held a vibrant protest & rally outside the US Embassy demanding an end to US aggression against Venezuela and the release of Venezuela's President.

[VSC @VenSolidarity]

🇻🇪🚨 JOIN THE PROTEST AT THE US EMBASSY IN LONDON – THURSDAY, 5.30PM 🚨🇻🇪

Trump bombed Venezuela in January and captured President Nicolás Maduro.

This Thursday, 26 March, the case is in court in the US.

Defend international law – oppose the show trial of Maduro!

[Richard Burgon MP @RichardBurgon]

I’m on my way to Cuba for an emergency 3-day visit.

I’ll be delivering medical aid to a children’s cancer hospital and joining an international delegation of MPs opposed to Trump’s new ban on any fuel entering the country.

This cruel policy is putting lives at risk. It is an inhumane attempt to strangle the Cuban people. And Trump is even threatening that Cuba could be “next” after Iran.

We must take a stand.

[Palestine Solidarity Campaign @PSCupdates]

PSC condemns the illegal war of aggression launched by the US and Israel on Iran. By supporting Israel’s genocide against the Palestinian people, the British government has helped to give the green light to this criminal destruction of human lives

Powerful statement from 17 Trade Union General Secretaries opposing Trump's illegal war on Iran.
