Up.
Face like a claustrophobic stuck inside a mile-long hollowed out tree trunk. Hair like Boxcar Willie being probed by Country Music hatin’ aliens. Voice like a mic’d up Trump snoring his way through the season finale of ‘The Iran War’.
Morning.

Good luck to all of them, and congratulations to those winning prizes or receiving commendations.

Also, and this is a crucial lesson to learn, that they understand their chosen subject and can reference characteristics of their ‘clients’ work and personality into the solution.

Maybe Trump will win the World Cup after all.

Somali referee Omar Artan, who was set to be the first from his country to officiate at the World Cup finals, has been denied entry to the United States.

With the background of financial profiteering beginning to shadow this World Cup, it’s inspiring to listen to deeply human stories like this one. Nice to be reminded of what it means to the players (as well as the fans)

[Ben Jacobs @JacobsBen]

Diogo Jota's wife, Rute Cardoso, has written a letter to Scotland captain Andy Robertson ahead of the World Cup.

She thanks Robertson for his friendship, and for preserving Diogo's memory. Robertson adds he'll have Jota at the forefront of his mind.🙏

Shelf life.

Wouldn’t it be great if, first and foremost, we considered everyone as human beings, rather than any other means of dividing us?
Isn’t that where equality begins?

“Jacob Rees-Mogg has been excavated from a peat bog, dusted down, spray painted, broom handle stuck up his arse to keep him upright, and ventriloquised by a Tory party work experience junior … and he joins us this morning on …”

Up. Face like Marty Feldman after a swan dive into a bed of stingy nettles. Hair like the ripped up receipts preventing a refund for a dodgy Campervan’s flip-top lid. Voice like Joe Pasquale eating 50 packets of Space Dust. Morning.

[david f ross @dfr10]

Happy birthday @R0Poem

Up. Face, hair and voice like a vomit-soaked, rat-arsed Sooty, out all-night with Muffin the Mule celebrating the retirement of Barbapapa, drinking Castrol GTX cocktails, and having tongue-snogged Soo at a Milton Keynes dogging ‘rave’ organised by Rainbow’s Bungle.
Morning.
