It has been reported that a 125-decibel sound level was recorded at the Scotland v Haiti game during the pre match anthem singing of Flower of Scotland - the loudest ever noise level at a World Cup match. 🏴

Neale defend Ireland's €400m Budget for the EU Presidency.
The last 2 holders were Denmark and Poland.
Poland spent €95m.
Denmark spent €35m.
Every Member State takes on the rotating Presidency, it’s a treaty obligation, not an optional add to throw an arbitrary price tag on.

If Starmer is so worried about protecting children why didn’t he want a R@@& Gang Inquiry?

“We just cannot support this Bill”
President of The Royal College of Psychiatrists, Dr Lade Smith, told @BBCNewsnight that they do not support the Assisted Dying Bill due to concerns they say “have not been addressed”

My brief take on @GBNEWS re Labour's 2-tier social media ban for u 16s. Somehow Starmer forgot to ban Bluesky. They're such numpties: so keen to contol how plebs communicate, they forget to control their own comms & make their biases blatantly obvious.

Lauren Edwards MP, who is proposing to resuscitate the assisted dying private member’s bill, has no specialist education or experience in either its clinical or legal aspects. Nor does her CV show any prior interest in issues of individual decision-making towards the end of life

What dismal news that the Assisted Suicide bill is coming back. They are hoping to use the Parliamentary override to force it through without any of the improvements and safeguards offered in the Lords last time including by the Bill’s advocates like Lord Falconer. We’re going to be offered the same bill that left the Commons (left with lots of ‘oh the Lords will clean up that glaring problem, don’t worry just pass it’) on a take-it-or-leave-it, unamendable basis. Even if you accept the case for assisted dying this Bill is terrible, far too expansive and full of holes to be filled in after it’s in statute… but the advocates know they’ll never have a such a ‘progressive’ Parliament for years, so it’s now or never. So they’re trying to push through a dangerous bill that they admitted needed significant improvement, because it’s their last chance. They must be stopped.

It's back. Incredible how giving the state powers to assist people to die, is a now considered a higher priority for some politicians than fixing an NHS that struggles to keep people alive. Grrr.
NEW: The Assisted Dying Bill is returning to Parliament this week.
Labour MP Lauren Edwards will reintroduce it on Wednesday after coming 2nd in the private members’ ballot.
“The process has been frustrated by a small minority”, she argues.

Bluesky won’t be included in the under-16s social media ban.
Twitter will be.

Ditto.
This is an insult to millions of women who lost their breasts to cancer .

Dear Lush (cc Chelmsford City Council),
As a woman who had half a breast removed last year due to cancer, I am writing to raise my concerns about your “Proud of My Stripes” window display.
I am also, on behalf of other women who have experienced breast cancer, respectfully requesting its removal.
Because mastectomies are not a fashion statement, an identity marker or something to be celebrated.
They are something women undergo because they are ill, because they are frightened, because they are trying to stay alive.
Around 59,000 women are diagnosed with breast cancer in the UK every year. Many will undergo surgery - a mastectomy, lumpectomy or other procedure.
Others choose preventive mastectomies because they carry a high-risk BRCA gene mutation.
If a woman chooses to have her breasts removed to affirm a gender identity, that is her personal choice.
I honestly don’t know the number of women who have elective mastectomies for this reason.
What I do know is that it is a tiny number compared with those for whom breast surgery is medically necessary and not something to be celebrated.
I think I speak for many women who have experienced breast cancer - and for their families - when I say this:
Breast removal surgery is not something I regard as cute, playful or empowering.
Nor is it something I believe retailers should be celebrating.
For that reason, I am requesting that the display be removed and that @ChelmsCouncil apologise for promoting it on social media.
Yours sincerely,
Janet Murray

La FIFA preguntó a una japonesa que por qué recogen la basura en todos los estadios a los que asisten.
Ella lo explicó: "Es nuestra cultura. Pero también es una señal de respeto hacia el país y estadio que nos acoge y hacia nuestros jugadores. Para nosotros es un honor que nos reciban aquí y no podríamos dejar todo hecho un desastre".

Under Keir Starmer's govt, 16 year olds will be legally able to have sex and get the right to vote, but they won't be allowed to buy a pint or watch YouTube after 8.30pm.
Okeydokes, that seems perfectly sensible.

🇬🇧 More than 150 kebab takeout shops across Britain have been given government licences to hire workers directly from overseas through a new visa program.
Crucially, the licences not only allow the Kebab shops to hire workers from abroad, but once those workers are in, they will be allowed to bring family members into the UK.
There are over 1.8 million people unemployed in the UK, but yeah, why not bring in more overseas workers, because this is clearly a highly skilled job.
The UK is a joke

It's genuinely bizarre that despite all their coverage of Gaza, @RTENewsAtOne never reported that MSF stopped operating at Nassar Hospital because it was being used as a military facility by Hamas.
