On this day in 1967, Che Guevara was captured by army forces in Bolivia. He was executed on the orders of the CIA the next day.

Just over a week later, speaking to a rally of more than one million people in Havana, Fidel declared 8 October the 'Day of the Heroic Guerrilla'.

Just days after the killing of Charlie Kirk, Elon Musk joined other right-wingers in ratcheting up his rhetoric.

In a downright dystopian and often factually inaccurate speech to a massive anti-immigrant rally in London, Musk urged attendees to “fight back” against their political enemies.

I am getting sick of certain politicians telling the people of Wales that they don't deserve their own democracy.

Let’s stop discussing whether Welsh democracy is allowed to exist, and focus on how to make it work.

President Trump on Monday complained that reports of domestic violence are inflating crime statistics and implied they should not be considered “crimes” at all.

"If a man has a little fight with the wife, they say this was a crime, see?" www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

The one crime Trump doesn't seem to have a problem with? Domestic violence.

"If a man has a little fight with the wife, they say this was a crime, see? So now I can't claim 100 percent [reduction in crime]," the president said Monday.

‘Fire chiefs have warned that many stations are no longer fit for purpose and some are posing a serious health hazard to firefighters. It comes after a decade of what one chief fire officer said was in effect the service ‘being defunded’, with an estimated £1bn in govt funding cut during this time.’

Not even 9am. So far on Radio 6, the news bulletins have featured a mother saying her daughters aren't safe because of asylum seekers, a Tory politician lambasting Labour for crossing numbers & Badenoch encouraging councils to lodge legal challenges against hotels. An endless stream of hateful bile.
