In August 2024 Rodri and Álvaro Morata were rightly banned for one match for singing “Gibraltar is Spain”.

Now the Argentine players who celebrated with the “Falklands are Argentine” banner must be barred from the final.

"The World Cup might not be ours, but the Falklands definitely are"

Downing Street has responded to Argentinian players holding up a provocative banner after last night's World Cup semi-final

Robert Jenrick: “Nigel Farage had the courage to put himself up for a by-election, which very few people do.”

Tim Stanley: “Well you didn’t.”

[Reform UK Exposed 🇬🇧 @reformexposed]

Nigel Farage v the establishment.

Educated at the £30k a year Dulwich College, a trader with Credit Lyonnais. Joined the Conservatives in 1978.

Fast forward to last week, where he spent 3 hours dining at Harry’s of Mayfair, the ultra-luxury private members club instead of voting in Parliament.

It was revealed this week that his close aide and donor Posh George had been gifting and donating to him. He’s called Posh George for a reason - a financier from a family educated and rubbing shoulders with royalty.

His speech yesterday was made at the top of Millbank, the HQ that has been used by Cameron and Blair.

Oh, and watch out for photos of him sipping champagne wearing his MCC tie at Lords this week too.

And he wants you to believe he’s one of you, Clacton.

.@AliFortescue asks former Conservative chancellor Sir Jeremy Hunt about what he makes of the video footage of Sky News doorstepping Nigel Farage.

[ALASTAIR CAMPBELL @campbellclaret]

Very good point @Jeremy_Hunt … I remember leaving my house with my daughter (then 8) and being filmed as we walked down the road. “Don’t worry” shouted a TV Cameraman “we’re rolling you from waist up so she’s not in shot.” ��How is she supposed to know that?” At times we had cameras outside 24 hours a day. My sons got hassled and pushed. Annoying at times. But whether we like it or not part of being a controversial political figure. Farage’s kids could walk down any street with nobody having a clue who they are. As it should be if they don’t want to be in the public eye. But his pathetic whine yesterday brought to mind the saying about heat and kitchens. As for being the most attacked politicians of modern times never forget that Jo Cox was murdered during Brexit campaign which he then said was won “without a shot being fired.” Finally - the claim that his car was mobbed and written off by fifty thugs. Yeah, and he didn’t tell the cops or claim insurance (presumably part or the establishment) and none of the 50 phone obsessed yobs filmed it. A chancer and a grifter and he is being found out. Finally. Ps latest @RestIsPolitics discusses

Nick Robinson to Zia Yusuf: "You say this is all about standing up to the establishment.
"You're a multi-millionaire. You made your money selling luxury helicopter charters and rare wines to the super-wealthy.
"Nigel Farage is a public schoolboy, a former commodities trader who gets £5m gifts from his friends and lives in a 5-storey house next to Buckingham Palace courtesy of a man convicted of fraud.
"Do you really think you are in a position at Reform UK to claim not to be part of the super-wealthy, self-serving establishment?"

[Jay @JibbaJabb]

" Nigel Farage is a privately educated former City broker , who has been a member of the political class for 30 years. He's a multi millionaire , he's got 5 properties. His party is funded by a billionaire. He couldn't be any more establishment could he ? "

Labour, Tories, Lib Dems and Greens: I demand you stand down in Clacton. I will be a unity candidate and pledge to build at least one affordable house.

Nigel Farage says he wants The People versus the Establishment. So be it.

Leave him to me.

🚨 NEW: Nigel Farage’s £5m gift from crypto billionaire Christopher Harborne was reported to the National Crime Agency by his bank over fears it was laundered money

[@guardian]

[Jonathan Pie @JonathanPieNews]

This is the most Nigel Farage thing Nigel Farage has ever done. Stand down in the safest seat Reform holds, then stand again so he can win it back and say: “See? 20,000 people voted for me, so we can all forget about my dodgy billionaire mate.”

He is such a fucking drama queen.

Pinocchio looks so shifty here. If any other UK party leader took a secret £5m bung from a Thailand-based crypto tycoon, and didn’t declare it, Farage would demand their resignation. And be right too.
