I'm clearly not an expat I'm happy to be an immigrant, living in Spain, socialist, late to life runner and obviously Up The Mighty Villa

I believe Clacton deserves an MP who will spend their time shining a light on everything the area has to offer. And why wait till I'm elected? I've been to visit one of the constituency's most stunning landmarks.

“If you are neutral in situations of injustice, you have chosen the side of the oppressor.” - Archbishop Desmond Tutu One side wants fascism. The other side wants healthcare as a human right. To even attempt to conflate the two is absurd.

So are we seeing American and Israeli mob like actions being used against Spain in the supposed Spanish migration Crisis ? Could there have been a more obvious manipulation? The reality is young people died in this manipulation, more blood on their hands

Secretary General of the Estonian 🇪🇪 Ministry of Foreign Affairs. With the correct take. I'm not a huge fan of Spains PM Sánchez but in crises you support and help first, horse-trade after. Its not about personal politics, it about valuable ally and member of OUR #EU

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.

No quarter given. Uefa wants Infantino dead. 'There are moments when institutions are judged not by what they are prepared to accept, but by what they refuse to compromise. The FIFA World Cup belongs to football. So long as Europe has a voice it will never be for sale.' www.uefa.com/news-media/n...

Statement on behalf of UEFA and its 55 national associations

UEFA and its national associations will not participate in FIFA competitions.

I got my Irish citizenship by going on the overseas birth Register but it didn't feel official until my passport arrived today, which also makes me a citizen of the European Union again 🎉🥳, So screw you Brexit !

BBC News at it again with one of their manipulatively framed headlines, interesting that they don't mention who the USA are 'Striking' but do mention an 'attempted' 'attack' on actual troops in a war by Iran. The headline trying to imply who the bad guys are here

After 17 and a half years today is my last day working in the NHS. I've worked under 12 Health secretaries. Every single one made it harder for us to look after patients and pursued an agenda of privatisation and outsourcing. The NHS thrives in spite of, not because of it’s political leadership.

The World Cup without UEFA means no Mbappe, no Bellingham, no Haaland, no Olise, no Yamal It means no England, France, Spain, Germany, Belgium It means no Zidane, Tuchel, Klopp The World Cup this year without Europe would have just been Argentina & Egypt in the final 8 UEFA must hold firm

So, I've officially closed down my Facebook account, it's something I've been building towards for awhile now, I even started downloading any photos I wanted over a year ago. I logged out of it a month ago and I really haven't missed the constant extreme far right propaganda & rage bait

France is suffering from the worst wildfire it has had since 1949, while Spain had its worst year ever in 2025 but this year's fires are set to beat that. Global Warming has many consequences.

So I went to see 'The Odyssey' and it was 'ok' I really like Christopher Nolan movies, but this just didn't blow me away, my kids and wife liked it, but I had that meh feeling. I suppose that not every movie can hit the spot
