"Questions about [my] money could go on for years," says Nigel Farage, when asked about the secret deal he struck with the convicted fraudster George Cottrell before agreeing to return as leader of Reform UK.

A World Cup with no participants – it could be Gianni Infantino’s boldest move yet | Marina Hyde

You’ve got to admire the Fifa president’s chutzpah in trying to flog off football’s greatest prize. If only Uefa wasn’t being so pesky about it all, says Marina Hyde

theguardian.com

My entire life I’ve never called it the FIFA World Cup. I’ve always called it the World Cup. Fans don’t give a shit about FIFA. If national teams showed up for a World Cup tournament not held by FIFA we would all watch it. World Cup is the brand. FIFA is nothing.

Nigel Farage (2016), "It's legitimate to say.. If people feel that voting doesn't change anything" "Then violence is the next step"

Wowza they REALLY don’t want to talk about #MissingMitchMcconnell 🤔😬

Sure did! 😬

The whole problem, in one post.

I have no interest in reducing my impact. I eat whatever I feel like eating and am more than happy for others to make that decision for themselves. Militant vegetablists are the modern day Crusaders, imposing their morality on others without so much as a please or thank you. Tedious people.

I’m confused. Who is META’s target customer with this ad? 🤔

When Elon Musk says "zero" children died in Africa from his DOGE cuts, he really means zero children died who are *worthy of any concern.* It's vile coded signaling to his global fascist audience. From me and @polphilpod.bsky.social, a deep dive into Musk's fascism: newrepublic.com/article/2135...

The Real Reason Elon Musk Keeps Insisting DOGE Cuts Killed “Zero” Kids

In his explosive interview with The Economist, the SpaceX billionaire inadvertently revealed something darker about his true vision for the future—and about his affinities with global fascism.

PARIS (AP) — A wildfire in southwest France grew so powerful that its smoke column became a thunderstorm, generating lightning that struck the ground and ignited new fires beyond the original blaze, French officials said.

Just loving how John Cleese, now reduced to one of his own caricatures, rages about immigrants coming to the UK and failing to accept "our" culture, from his home in ... (checks notes) ... Nevis in the Caribbean.

Yes & herein lies the problem. When Labour was dragged to the hard left by Corbyn, centre-left Labour MPs fought for their traditions and their principles. When the same thing happens in the Tory party, centre-right Conservative MPs go gently into that good night.

The Tory MPs left who are properly centre right at heart are resolutely keeping their mouths shut, having learnt from the Johnson purge in 2019 that they’ll just be replaced by people who will do as they’re told, regardless of the damage to the Party.

A WOMAN who lives in Dubai thinks she is the best judge of what makes a good British citizen, while her boyfriend avoids tax and is under investigation for dodgy donations. What an absolute joke. Except it's real.

Elon Musk, owner of X, has called the editor of the Economist "a traitor to the West, plain and simple" after her recent interview with him. He now argues that "anyone who opposes remigration is a traitor" Musk has been socialising violence since Aug25: "fight or die, that's what it comes down to"

AOC Makes A Great Point 👉.......

When the community note proves that the reason the initial post made him sound like a piece of shit is because he's a bigger piece of shit than the initial post made him out to be.🤷‍♂️

Where there's smoke, there's fire. Or in the case of Reform: Where there's fire, there's a fuck-tonne more fire.

I watched the Odyssey and I'm disgusted by the lack of historical accuracy. The actors weren't even speaking ancient Greek! Τί οὖν διὰ τίνα αἰτίαν διήνυσα πάντα ταῦτα τὰ ἔτη ἐν τῷ σχολείῳ μανθάνων τὴν γλῶσσαν τῶν ἀρχαίων Ἑλλήνων? Unbelievable. I'm outraged.
