The game for the soul of football tonight The brilliant AFC Wimbledon vs Franchise United in the Carabao Cup #WIMMKD

Didn’t like the sound of this rebranding when it was announced Chelsea’s American owners ripping up tradition for pointless marketing

Farage told Congress last year that he never bans journalists from his events. He spoke at the behest of an anti-abortion group, the ADF. It's ironic, and pretty revolting, that Reform banned me from its conference after I reported that three anti-abortion groups are speaking at this year's event

Zia Yusuf has tweeted this about the leader of Camden Council, Sagal Abdi-Wali, who has lived in Camden for over 35 years, after arriving as a child refugee in the early 1990s. (Nadhim Zahawi, born in Baghdad to an Iraqi Kurdish family, came to the UK as an 11 year old:should be asked about this)

Net migration is at its lowest level, outside of the pandemic, for fourteen years, small boat numbers are collapsing and yet you still can't move for 'migrant crisis' stories in the British media

This is racism, straight out of the Trump playbook. Reform are trying to turn our great country into a franchise of Trump's America. There are countless British patriots who came here from overseas, many of them refugees we proudly welcomed. That's the kind of country we are.

Reform UK, the self styled party of the ‘working family’ once more acting against the best interests of those needing and deserving support www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Well that’s a blow for the those that argue against switching to green energy because it’s disadvantageous compared to China: China now produces more energy from solar than coal power

The clear benefits of ULEZ: doing exactly what it was intended to do - improve the health of those living in the city! www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Actual disability benefit fraud costs the UK under £100 million a year Money laundering (through banks, shell companies, CRYPTO & luxury property sales) that costs the UK over £100 BILLION a year So yeah. Let's get the disabled. They're the ones ripping us off innit? www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Whether you believe climate change is natural, human-caused, or a combination of both, one thing seems sensible: if our actions may be increasing global temperatures, reducing those actions is a reasonable precaution. We buy insurance hoping we never need it. Looking after the planet is no different

Can someone explain to me why the POTUS constantly feels the need to comment on the Mayor of London? You don’t see or hear the UK Prime Minister talking about just how bad the Governor of Texas is, or the incompetence of Tiffany Henyard. Does Sadiq Khan live rent free In DT’s head?

Private Equity Firms have one goal, to make money for their members/investors. Why are they interested in the FIFA World Cup? To Maximise the revenue THEY can make from it Not develop the game; not develop the member associations and not benefit players or fans Infantino must go !

If you were horrified by the political interference that saw Folarin Balogun's one-match ban into a suspended ban at the FIFA World Cup imagine the interference that ‘outside investors’ might exert if Infantino gets his way ‘In the interests of maximising revenue we need to…’

Climate change doesn't have to be about politics. It's about risk management. If there's a chance our activities are making global temperatures rise faster than they otherwise would, taking sensible steps to reduce that risk is a rational response and not an ideological one. Change or burn !🔥

Reading about POTUS signing an executive order to determine signage at Smithsonian. Genuine question from a curious mind on this side of Atlantic why is the president involved in such micro level management of a museum? Surely this is a delegated task (if one at all) what’s the reaction stateside?

Curious to know how Everton fans would feel if David Moyes announced ‘our priority this season is to win the League Cup, a trophy that rather astonishingly has never been one by this great club’ (He hasn’t by the way, but…)

UEFA banned two Spanish players for a game each for singing ‘Gibraltar is Spanish’ FIFA don’t have the integrity to ban Argentinian players at the World Cup for their post match Falklands banner

FIFA are a disgrace breaching the laws of the game to have a Super Bowl style half time show in the World Cup final The sooner there are new leaders (!) at FIFA, the better The quality of the game will suffer for a show few if any fans want to see included in the game

Love the final bit of V/O: "Sky News has not contacted any members of Mr Farage's family about the story." Might as well say: "We have NO idea what he's on about, daft prick." A x

Someone, preferably a qualified referee explain to me the difference between the Caicedo challenge that led to his booking and the Khusanov challenge on Pedro that wasn’t a penalty they look pretty much the same to me other than one is in the area ?

The staggering incompetence of Blue Co spending under the current sporting directors at Chelsea should lead to mass resignations across all levels at Stamford Bridge It won’t !!

Why hasn’t the US moved to a convoy system to escort ships through the Straights of Hormuz? I’m pretty sure the Royal Navy could fist down the plans from Western Approaches and share them with the US Navy

How infuriating to hear the chairman(?) of Asda on the Today programme implying that land use for solar farms might significantly hurt UK food production. It's nonsense. Golf courses use more than solar ever will & beef/lamb production is huge yet provides a tiny fraction of our protein & calories.

If Chelsea somehow win the FA Cup If Spurs get relegated If Arsenal blow the league and finish second Then somewhere in SW6 there’s a Chelsea fan with a lamp and no wishes left

Six managers in four seasons: the problem isn’t the Head Coach at Chelsea it’s the strategy imposed from BlueCo: who thought they were being innovative with recruitment but no successful club globally has ever made their approach work. You need some experienced players to lead !

The USA World Cup is just the gift that keeps on giving The first open sale of tickets show organisers charging up to $10,990 (£8,333) to be at the final In its World Cup bid, the US, Canada and Mexico said tickets to the final would cost a maximum of $1,550 (£1,174).

Don’t the June 2025 US attacks on Iran, "completely and totally obliterated" Iran's key nuclear enrichment facilities? And yet eight months later….

The Daily Telegraph currently owned by a private equity vehicle RedBird IMI - based in the UAE and led by Italian American Gerry Cardinale and Sheikh Mansour bin Zayed Al Nahyan. Patriotic news. For patriotic people. Who don't want to pay taxes.

Infantino’s apology over his ‘no Brits arrested’ at Qatar World Cup missed the point - when a senior FIFA official makes comments like that it legitimatises the appalling treatment of fans overseas by heavy handed police forces

I regularly travel on trains operated by Transport for Wales, Avanti West Coast and Northern. Despite remote nature of some of the TFW they and Avanti manage to maintain decent WiFi - Northern Rail on the other hand appear to operate trains fitted with 1990s dial up modems

Worth remembering when looking at the horrific scenes in the US right now that both Reform and the Tories have pledged to bring in ICE-style organisations to the UK if they win power

Something you may have missed this weekend. UK business growth jumps to 21-month high Growth in the UK’s private sector has increased this month at its fastest pace since April 2024 on the back of an upturn in the services sector, according to new figures. www.dissmercury.co.uk/news/nationa...

23 games into the league and Arsenal have already conceded 17 goals: so many people said this side was going to beat the Chelsea record of just 15 in a season They’ve all gone quiet now

Why did none of the journalists listening to Trump asking if NATO would come to the aid of the USA, ask him who are the only nation to invoke article 5? And exactly who supported them at that point? #MissedOpportunity

We’ve seen boxers punch themselves out but is Jake Paul the first ‘boxer’ (sic.) to run themselves out by running laps around the ring and not throwing punches? #JakeJoshua
