World Cup 2026: BBC pundit Micah Richards pays tribute to father after death

Micah Richards has paid tribute to his father Lincoln, who died shortly before the BBC pundit went on air for England’s World Cup semi-final defeat by Argentina. Former England right-back Richards was one of the experts on BBC One for the coverage of the Three Lions’ 2-1 loss. “Not long before going on air today, I received the awful news that my father Lincoln had passed away,” wrote Richards on Instagram.

On Monday, Joan Sebastian Guerrero was shot and killed by ICE agents in Biddeford, Maine. Reports say Guerrero was authorized to legally work in the US and not even ICE's target. @annayeo.bsky.social was on the ground Tuesday in Biddeford and spoke with locals—including one man who knew Guerrero.

This morning in Biddeford, Maine, a 26-year-old man said goodbye to his wife and daughter and left for work. Moments later he was dead, shot in the head by ICE agents, the second man ICE has killed in six days. ICE is killing our neighbors. ICE cannot be reformed. Abolish ICE.

New review by K. Piddo p' Odoki for Abigail George's @abigailgeorgepoet.bsky.social 'Did You get Married to Her When I was in the Mental Hospital?' ZamaShort #12. #booksky 💙📚 #poetry

There are works of literature that ask to be read, and there are works that demand to be survived. Abigail George's latest prose poem sequence belongs firmly, unflinchingly, to the second category.
