Really great finish to the Nottingham Poetry Festival. Cara Thompson turned synonyms from the dictionary into an exploration of her Caribbean-British heritage while Vanessa Kisuule's neighbour inspired a discussion about identity and belonging. Powerful stuff. Well done all. Here's to 2027...

The first ever Somalian to referee in the WC denied entry to the U.S, Iran fans banned from attending, astronomical inflation of ticket pricing, etc, etc. Mark the centenary of the Great Strike by refusing to play in this shambolic World Cup and send a message to the tiny fingered vulgarian.
