This statement by UEFA on FIFA attempting to sell off the World Cup gave me goosebumps, what a statement - the beautiful game deserves no less “As so long as Europe has a voice, it will never be for sale.”

In politics, we’re torn between ideals and practicalities, aspirations and realities, the world as we want it, and as we find it But one day a manifesto comes along that reconciles both in every pledge. A rare moment of clarity and hope

This is deeply troublesome. Basically means (although unlikely to happen, due to data location etc etc) existing eu safeguards of your data which lives with a US cloud provider (Apple, google, Microsoft,Amazon) are null and void. Would expect clarification from EU very soon.

‼️⚖️ The US Supreme Court has declared all independent authorities unconsitutional – effectively blowing up the EU-US deal on data transfers. Click the link below for noyb's full assessment of the situation, and prepare for a Schrems III case! noyb.eu/en/us-suprem...

The sitting president of the United States had to pay $5 million to a woman he raped and defamed, and not one person in his entire cult of a party is calling for his resignation. Not one.

He’s a lunatic

“£240 Billion of income that has disappeared” So far… And Farage wants to scrap Labour’s reset, scrap the Brexit deal altogether in fact… and go to a leave-the-ECHR-no-deal Brexit. Has the country completely lost its mind? When will this idiocy stop? Prejudice as policy is ruinous.

it cant be said enough that all tech smart guys and billionaires thought this guy would be great and now the world economy is fucked we're like a week from gas rationing and their guy is threatening nukes.

I’m pretty sure there were 1/2 million people marching in protest, supporting the difference between right and wrong. Hardly seen a peep about it in the papers. In Victorian England factory owners tried to surpress the workers, this feels like. 21st century version

Free and fair elections are the cornerstone of our democracy. But right now, they’re under attack. Several Republican-controlled states have redrawn their congressional maps to give themselves an unfair advantage in the midterm elections.

this is an absolutely astonishing feat of independent journalism, top to bottom, and proves that the only way to truly fight billionaires is not being funded by them. just…read the whole thing.

My local hospital(s), of which I am a frequent visitor, would not function without immigration. I owe my life and my daughter’s life to these people. Play assistants, porters, consultants, neurologists… So many not born here have saved my family.
