The NHS cancelled all gender affirming surgeries in Wales. Those who had their appointments ripped away from them have been given a suicide hotline instead.

This happened because of transphobic pressure, and people will die because of it.

Hey @Channel4, do you know you won the rights to show WAFCON?

In case you missed it, it started today and there is a game currently in play

Disability accommodations aren’t taking anything from anyone.

The quiet room doesn’t force anyone to be quiet elsewhere.

The ramp doesn’t break the stairs.

“If we accommodate you, we’d have to accommodate everyone”

Yes.

Correct.

That’s the idea.

Precisely.

The killing of a Palestinian footballer by Israeli forces on Monday has reignited calls for Fifa to ban Israel amid its ongoing genocide in Gaza.

Saleem al-Ashqar, 32, was cycling in search of a gas cylinder when Israeli soldiers shot him in the town of al-Qarara, just outside Khan Younis.

The Khadamat Khan Younis goalkeeper was taken to hospital but died of severe internal hemorrhaging and organ damage, a spokesperson for the Palestinian Football Association (PFA) said.

“Despite medical efforts, the hospital's severely limited capabilities – exacerbated by the collapse of Gaza's health sector due to the ongoing war of extermination – made it impossible to control the internal bleeding,” Dima Youssef told the New Arab. “Given the severity of his injuries, Al-Ashqar passed away about two hours after arriving at the hospital.”

The goalkeeper’s death brings the number of Palestinian athletes killed by Israel since October 2023 to 1,009, including at least 567 footballers.

In a tribute on X, Turkey’s minister of sports Osman Aşkın Bak compared the 567 Palestinians murdered by Israel to the 572 footballers playing in the World Cup.

Spanish-Moroccan sports journalist Leyla Hamed wrote that Fifa suspends football federations “almost every week” but repeatedly refused to issue a decision on Israel. “How much investigation does the most documented genocide in history need?” she asked.

In 2024, the PFA asked Fifa to expel the Israel Football Association amid its genocide in Gaza.

This March, Fifa finally announced it would not kick out Israel but fined its football authority $190,000 on charges relating to “discriminatory and racist abuse”.

Meanwhile, it suspended Russia from the World Cup days after its invasion of Ukraine in 2022.

The body has been silent on the systematic targeting of Palestinian athletes since the start of the genocide in October 2023, drawing condemnation from advocacy groups including the Palestinian Campaign for the Academic and Cultural Boycott of Israel.

This man is going on two decades of consistently proving he is an absolute piece of shit and it’s so embarrassing that anyone still listens and supports him

It has been confirmed that asexual people will be protected in the conversion practices ban! I have spent years campaigning for this and look forward to continue strengthening the draft. I'm back in Parliament next week! Thank you to the allies who have fought alongside me. 💜

A real long shot but can people retweet this please.

Yesterday all my items were stolen in Eastbourne including my stats book which has 20 years worth of details in. Laptops, phones, clothes, shavers etc can all be replaced but this can’t and is useless to anyone else. It’s in a plastic folder you can see in the left hand side of this photo. Can anyone in that neck of the woods please keep an eye out. I’m gutted about this.

Suleiman Obeid, former Palestine national team player and known as the “Pelé of Palestine,” was killed while trying to obtain food for his five children.

One of Palestine’s most prominent football stars did not die on a football pitch or during a match; he was killed while searching for a meal to feed his children.

that’s the question isn’t it. what WILL she do? there are no youth clubs for her to attend. food, cinema tickets, any sort of third space activity is all too expensive. their parents are underpaid, saturday jobs don’t exist any more, children have truly been abandoned by the govt

Some of y’all aren’t scared enough about running out of potable water. We need it to survive, our pets and farms do too. Data centres are using it up and wasting it. They project we could run out by 2039. Thirteen years. Stop asking AI questions, it’s not worth it.

Scotland play Israel this week. Today Israeli authorities have abducted two members of the Palestine women's national team.

When will it be enough for the Scottish FA/UEFA/FIFA to take a stand?

Nigel Farage hasn't voted in Parliament for the last 11 weeks and has now missed 77 votes in a row, according to official records. The last time he turned up was to vote against adraft regulations for the Employment Rights Act, and that says it all.
