Almost half of female footballers are considering leaving the sport because of financial concerns or psychological stress, a @FIFPRO survey of about 800 players says. Only 76% of players are always paid on time. 57% have struggled with their mental health.

Almost 10 years ago @FIFPRO published its very first employment report in women’s football.
The industry has developed remarkably in that time.
Yet, gaps remain and players are acutely exposed to those gaps. As investment continues to grow, better redistribution is needed👇
Women’s professional players are still earning low wages, working on insecure contracts & experiencing rising psychological stress. That is according to the findings of a new global survey of more than 800 footballers by Fifpro.

Putin told Iran the locations of our warships.
Today, Trump rewarded him by lifting sanctions and allowing American dollars to fuel Russia’s war machine.
Our troops are in harm’s way, and the President cut a deal with the adversary putting a target on their backs.
The United States is now officially allied with Vladimir Putin and Russia. We will fund Russia’s genocidal war machine in exchange for Putin helping Trump and the Republican Party in the midterms. One of the most shameful and disgusting days in the history of this Republic.

Artist Stanley Chow has hit out at the Tory party after water bottles which appeared to use his image of Andy Burnham were handed out at their conference in Birmingham.
Mr Chow produced an image of the Prime Minister in his iconic style, which was used by the Labour Party. But he said he became aware earlier today (October 4) that there were water bottles at the Conservative Party conference which featured the image, as well as the headline 'Bottler Burnham' and '0% strength'.
He then took to Instagram and shared a post which read: "It seems like Conservatives have been using my artwork without my permission at their conference party... regardless of whatever your political allegiances are, it's still copyright infringement... I'll be seeking legal advice."
BREAKING: Bridget Phillipson responds on behalf of Labour to the racist and antisemitic motion today. It’s strong and she doesn’t mince her words to be fair.
Bridget Phillipson MP, Chair of the Labour Party, and Minister for Women and Equalities, responds to the Green Party’s vote on Zionism at the Green Party Conference, said:
“It is shameful to vote against a two-state solution for Israel and Palestine and to condemn the vast majority of British Jews and Jews around the world as racist for supporting Israel’s right to exist. It is fundamentally wrong and the leadership of the Green Party must make clear that this will not be their position moving forwards.
“The Labour Party has always been clear that criticism of the policies of the Israeli Government is not antisemitic, and the Labour government has condemned Israel’s actions in Gaza and the West Bank. But today’s vote at the Green Party Conference crosses a line and should be condemned across the political spectrum.
“This vote underlines how important it was that we changed the Labour Party from top to bottom and ripped out the scourge of antisemitism from within the party.
"The Labour Party and the Labour Government will continue working every day to ensure our Jewish communities are safe, feel safe and have their rights upheld, as well as making sure we rid our society of antisemitism once and for all.”
