“No one has the moral authority to sell what they merely hold in trust for the next generation.” Well said UEFA 👏

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.”

"And the prime minister's car just driving up the Mall now, all four wheels on the ground, propelled possibly by an internal combustion engine, Keir Starmer and Lady Victoria no doubt in the back, continuing to respirate and draw oxygen into their lungs, on this unusually sunny..."

NEW: Nigel Farage to give statement on “my future in public life” at 2pm

spotted, spoil’d, corrupted

UEFA: "We express our disbelief at such an unprecedented, incomprehensible and unjustifiable decision" FIFA and Infantino's brazen corruption has made a complete mockery of the best sporting competition in the world Absolutely shamelessly pathetic

Has FIFA told us what the final score in Monday’s USA v Belgium game is going to be yet?

This is absolutely crazy #ENGvNZ #cricket

Taking a wicket immediately after receiving a standing ovation for your retirement is the most Ben Stokes thing ever. England Cricket legend. We will miss him so much.

Really, really, really object to any news corporations labelling people setting fire to cars, houses and attacking police as 'protesters'
