In 2023, Indonesia were stripped of the under-20 World Cup for refusing to allow the Israeli team entry.
Fifa's justification then was the vague "due to the current circumstances".
Quite a contrast to the hardline "FIFA is not involved in host immigration processes" now.

Sky's @cathynewman interviewed Reform's Zia Yusuf about the murder of Henry Nowak, then faced a deluge of online abuse, including misogyny and death threats.
She looks at a small sample of the posts and explains why journalists should "call it out" ⬇️

Henry Nowak's mother has said:
"We are a family who have friends across faith and race, and so did Henry. We want his memory to help bring our society together."
And there you have it.

Barely a month ago this man was imprisoned for the violent rape of a Sikh woman believing that she was a Muslim. No Douglas Murray articles in the Spectator, no Baroness Fox speech in the Lords. No riots. Two tier? Too right bbc.com/news/articles/cpqxrz…

I’ll tell you one thing.
I would LOVE IT if he beats that horrible, cruel bastard of a disease. Love it.
Thoughts and prayers to a man that, despite being dead against our club as a player and a manager, I could never quite bring myself to dislike.

Wish Kevin Keegan well. One of the best players in the world.
For all that “I’d love it” stuff, he was quality with MUFC fans at Porto airport in ‘97.
I’d also interviewed him in Newcastle when he said: “Newcastle United is a football club. Manchester United is an institution”

Lord Sugar says Boris Johnson and Michael Gove should be 'in jail' for 'lies' they told about Brexit.
In an interview with the Sunday Times, the businessman said Brexit was the 'worst thing I have experienced in business.'

An embarrassment to the UK
Nigel Farage has gone all quiet about his friendship with Trump.
Let’s not let him distance himself from the trainwreck. Please share this fawning video.

This coffee shop in Kyiv opened yesterday, then got hit by a russian air strike just hours later.
Today, they're still open and people in Kyiv are lining up to buy a coffee to support them, stepping over debris and broken glass on the way in.
FYI, the coffee is excellent 🇺🇦

@supertanskiii found the clip of Farage explaining how politicians exploit the system by hiring their wives…
So here’s the follow-up. 👇
Years later, Farage is confronted over doing exactly that himself hiring his own European wife as secretary.
His excuse?
“No British person would do the job.”
While spending years attacking European workers.
This interview is an absolute car crash.

Farage, with a very different accent, explaining how to exploit and profit from the very same system that he claimed to rail against.
Including using one’s wife to account for financial irregularities.
Well, it apparently works when trying to explain away house purchases, eh?

This government has delivered the biggest single month drop in waiting times in 17 years.
We are fixing the NHS so it’s fit for the future.
ALT Graphic features image of Keir Starmer and NHS staff with the words: Waiting lists are their lowest in three years, 515,000 fewer people on waiting lists since 2024.

Net migration has fallen by 82% since its peak.
Some are claiming that emigration is the reason - but it isn't.

Rachel Reeves cutting VAT on family summer activities is exactly the kind of practical politics people want to see.
Helping families afford days out, freezing fuel duty and easing pressure during the holidays instead of endless culture wars?
More of this please.
