BREAKING: Trump says that if the US lost to Belgium as a result of FIFA refusing to overturn Flo Balogun’s suspension, it would be “rigged” just like how the 2020 election was stolen from him.
He has to make everything about himself. He can’t stop lying.
Something that might have slipped under your radar. Sir Gareth Southgate turned down any sort of media work and punditry during the World Cup to ensure that there were no distractions or ‘media troublemaking’ for Thomas Tuchel and the England team throughout the tournament. He put the team’s interests above his own, which is what we’ve all come to expect from this thoroughly decent human being.
However far we now go in the USA, never forget who laid the foundations - someone who even after his exit is doing all that he can to help.
@AndrewRemainEU@RichardBentall They did this with Boris Johnson. Remember the Eddie Mair interview with him in 2013.
It’s laundering the sleaze.

The UK government is attempting to block the Scottish Government from having an Independence Referendum.
If you believe it is up to Scotland to decide their own future and their own independence.
Show your support.
A sad day but few care, especially the British right obsessed by the ECHR and its faux threats to British sovereignty. Today we lost ITV to US media group Comcast and EasyJet to US private credit company, Castlelake. Britain is ever more a vassal economy in thrall to the USA.
Sorry American soccer fans, but after listening to this demented pile of orange shit openly brag about his FIFA corruption, I hope Belgium beats the living shit out of Team USA tonight. Trump has singlehandedly turned millions of us into Belgium fans. 🇧🇪
"Dear Diary,
New accusations about my dodgy finances. Having found that saying "It's none of your business!" doesn't seem to work, I'm trying a different approach. This time I said The Times is just picking on me because they are so left wing. Mixed results so far..."

"Farage, father of Brexit, failed to declare £5m from a crypto industry billionaire
Turns out he was secretly taking money from a criminal too
Remember, when we vote for con artists and authoritarians, we're not their victims but their accomplices" 👏
Absolutely abysmal.
The man who lost a judicial review over his own corruption defends Farage’s corruption.
Entirely unsurprising.

🚩🚩🚩 Sunday Times: Farage’s path back to power was quietly funded by George Cottrell, a 32-year-old former US prison inmate and crypto operator.
Benefits allegedly included social media staff, bodyguards, and use of a London house near Buckingham Palace.

The wheels have not only come off for Nigel Farage, but they've caught fire and are speeding off down the road.
Everyone who has associated themselves with this grifter are now going to come under uncreased scrutiny — and not before time.
You don't have to lift many stones to see the creepy crawlies that live in the orbit of Farage.
For this particular tale of George Cottrell, the link to Brexit's Andy Wigmore is a strong one, but the darkest links are those to Montenegro.
As my prestigious colleague, @OneFinanceGuy, has been tirelessly pointing out for months, this Balkan nation seems to be the fulcrum on which much of the Cottrell empire rests.
As the character Deep Throat said in All the President's Men — just follow the money.
When I wrote last year about the three-month gap in Nigel Farage's register of interests, it garnered only some low-level attention. He was eventually found to be in breach of his duties as an MP for failing to register seventeen outside jobs.
SEVENTEEN.
They totalled £384,000, but this was judged to be inadvertent. He'd just forgotten almost half a million pounds worth of work.
But I, among others, pondered at that time, if he'd failed to declare these seventeen roles … what else could he be hiding?
Well, we are well and truly in the 'find out' phase now. Those stones are being lifted and lights shone into the darkest of his many, many cupboards.
And so far, the answer is … millions of pounds.
He has, quite literally hidden from the public eye, millions in undeclared cash, favours and services that were lavished upon him.
There is a set of seven ethical standards that all public office holders must adhere to in the UK.
The Nolan Principles.
Selflessness
Integrity
Objectivity
Accountability
Openness
Honesty
Leadership
Nigel Farage has obliterated the Nolan Principles.
Look at that list and tell me that he abides by a single one of those crucial tenets. Not a chance.
As with all things, Farage treats his role as an MP as a money making vehicle — nothing else.
Follow. The. Money.
Time is up, Nigel. Ticktock motherflipper.
Have a lovely Sunday, I'm going to look at some old planes and cars. 🛩️
Reform looks increasingly less like a political party and more a private syndicate, populated by hoods and dodgy donors, whose aim is Farage
‘s self-enrichment and, when/if he wins power, their own. The disillusioned working class just prey. Important, revelatory journalism.
I never thought I'd say this, but sometimes I feel a little bit sorry for Richard Tice and Zia Yusuf.
Richard pumped several million pounds of his own money into Reform to keep it afloat
Zia gave £200k
Nigel gave £0, despite being bunged £5m.
No wonder he kept it quiet
