FIFA’s plan to sell a stake in its commercial operations to outside investors is thankfully dead in the water, but what was behind this proposal? What would have been the implications for the beautiful game if Infantino had got his way? This is explored in today’s FREE ARTICLE.

Just putting it there: the last week has shown how Bluesky has grown into the most reliable, noise-, bot- and BS-free resource for anyone interested in football governance and politics. The coverage of Fifa's and Infantino's debacle has been fantastic. Size isn't everything.

Elaine in this article "can't remember the last time she used her oven" but also spends £200 a month on petrol (so driving probably ~50 miles a day?) (she's also a professional old person; she was on Good Morning Britain last year, and then also at the Nov budget, and the year before lmao)

'I can't afford to turn the oven on': 7.4m households struggling to buy essentials

As Andy Burnham promises “breathing space” for households, millions are unable to buy items such as clothing, heating and food.

Boris Johnson says Miliband's appointment as foreign secretary will 'delight the Kremlin'. In the spirit of transparency, he should now publish the texts he sent Lord Lebedev on the night he slipped his security detail on a lads' weekend at that famous castle in Perugia.

Gerard Lopez, the club killer. There is no better example of football's total regulatory failure at European level than to have allowed Lopez to seize control of club after club after club, only to destroy them in record time. Mouscron, Bordeaux, now Boavista.

Remember Boavista? The club in Portugal with a long history & big fan base where Reggie Cannon left to and then didn't get paid? The 120+ year club has been ordered to cease operations by 7/31. A thread of how it happened: 2001: The club wins it's first title, breaking a 55-year run of big 3.

Here's a gift link to my latest NYT travel piece, 36 Hours in Bruges. Brugge is a charming town with a lot going on, including an excellent new art space, Brusk (esp. the Bigger Picture exhibit). Cool bars, cafes & restaurants. Plus Greet Verbeke’s curios & antiques. www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

36 Hours in Bruges, Belgium: Things to Do and See (Gift Article)

Like the works of the Flemish painters who once inhabited the city, Bruges’s appeal lies in the details.

Microsoft is planning to build three massive AI data centres in Leeds. It’ll drain thousands of litres of water from the River Aire and become the city's biggest carbon emitter. We can still stop the council's final sign-off, but we need more voices. Add yours: you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/pr...

Stop the Microsoft AI megasite in Leeds!

Microsoft wants to build three huge AI data centres at Skelton Grange. It would drain the River Aire and become the city's biggest carbon emitter. We can still stop it - add your name to the petition.
