I worked for New York’s largest medical center at the start of the pandemic. There were morgue trucks on the streets. They set up emergency medical tents in Central Park. Healthcare worker colleagues died. It is horrific that RFK Jr is on national TV lying that ICUs were empty.

Can't be the first to say this, but (and yay UEFA - brilliant) this works equally well if you swap out "football" for maybe "water" or "a stable climate". Look at me being the revolutionary socialist. "No one has the moral authority to sell what they merely hold in trust for the next generation."

The moment external investors acquire ownership interests in FIFA competitions, football changes forever. Commercial return becomes a permanent obligation. Investor expectations become a daily pressure. From that moment onwards, every decision on the international calendar, every decision on competition formats and every decision shaping the future of football is no longer driven by what best serves the game, but by what best serves shareholders. This model has no place in world football. Football's future cannot be dictated by the expectations of those whose first duty is to maximise financial return. Nor can the interests of national associations, leagues, clubs, players and supporters become subordinate to investor returns. Football cannot mortgage its future for financial gain. Europe's position is clear. We will never lend this model our legitimacy. No one has the moral authority to sell what they merely hold in trust for the next generation.

The memes surrounding Binface V Farage are brilliant, share your favourites below, preferably with links to original creators, and if we get enough, we will collate and publish..... Via Penny Nite on Facebook.

Man spent five hours filling his bucket with fish, until he woke up to find every single one gone. On May 20th, a man was fishing off a dock when he started having one of the best days he’d had in weeks. Dock camera showed his Dog was feeding a Dolphin 🐬

In the last month Nigel Farage has spent around eight times longer promoting gold bars for money (4 hours) than he has spent doing his supposed main job of being an MP voting in the House of Commons (just two votes, taking approximately 30 minutes)

Massie: "I think it's ironic that we control the House, Senate, Supreme Court, and the White House, and we're yelling 'election fraud'? I mean, we won all the damn elections."

It tells you everything you need to know about Kemi Badneoch and Nigel Farage that as London schools, hospitals and transport networks all buckle under extreme record-breaking temperatures, they gather with fossil fuel lobbyists, climate deniers and the far-right to demand an end to Net Zero

As Extreme Heat Hits London, Fossil Fuel Interests and Global Far-Right Politicians Gather for a 'Glastonbury of Climate Science Deniers'

Nigel Farage and Kemi Badenoch are both scheduled to address the event, reports Max Colbert

It didn't use to be normal to hit even 32°C It's now happened every year since 2010 It certainly wasn't normal to hit 35°C It happened in just 10 summers in the 20th Century It's happened 9 times in the first 26 years of the 21st Century 6/

Six local election loses for Reform UK Ltd. If we didn’t have a corrupt mainstream media, Farage would be under pressure to resign?
