A federal judge has voided President Donald Trump’s requirement of a $100,000 application fee for H-1B visas, ruling that he lacked authority to impose the new policy for a program used by companies to hire highly skilled foreign workers in specialized fields. https://t.co/P7mG2iCGkP
What an absolute disgrace. A FIFA-certified referee being denied entry to the United States purely because he is Somali.
The World Cup is meant to bring people together. This is racism, plain and simple. Shameful.

CURRENT FUNDING IS ONLY ENOUGH FOR HALF THE POPULATION TO GET AN NHS DENTIST - just think about that
and tooth decay which is almost entirely preventable is now the number one reason for hospital admissions among young children.
This shocking situation cannot continue
Do you want Starmer to embarrass JD Vance on the world stage?
JD Vance doesn't want Americans to know this 🤫:
Compared to Americans, British people are less likely, per capita, to be:
killed
killed by a gun
killed by a knife
killed in a road accident
killed by a drug overdose
killed by their own police
killed by a far-right extremist
someone who dies by suicide
someone who dies prematurely
someone incarcerated in prison
someone who is morbidly obese
someone who dies from excess mortality
someone financially devastated by medical costs*
someone subject to weaker equality before the law*
someone living in a significantly flawed democracy*
someone who spends higher % of income on childcare
*Equality before the law:
The UK ranks significantly higher on the World Justice Project Rule of Law Index 2025 (14th globally) vs. the US (27th).
*Democracy:
The UK remains a solid full democracy (ranked in the top 20), while the US has fallen to 34th and is classified as a flawed democracy, with notable drops in civil liberties, government functioning, and checks on executive power.
*Medical costs:
The US is the only high-income country without universal coverage. It has high out-of-pocket costs and surprise billing, spends nearly twice as much per capita on healthcare as the UK, but ranks worse on life expectancy, preventable deaths, maternal mortality, infant mortality, amenable mortality, and overall health system performance.
But apart from that... 😂
Suddenly all the people who cared about human rights when Russia and Qatar hosted the world cup and suddenly quiet. .. No fancy documentary from the BBC on immigrants rights. No expose on Crime in inner cities (as we saw in South Africa)
Just silence.
Farage may have bigger issues than the hidden £5million when this investigation is underway - Goodwin, Orr and others with 'close' connections to Orban
Prosecute Orbán’s inner circle over ‘stolen’ billions, Hungary’s anti-corruption watchdog says https://t.co/CWIjm5bm1t
Israeli government minister
'We're carrying out a genocide . You can't stop us. We're going to kill every Palestinian. Ha, ha, ha'
@AndyBurnhamGM
'Oh, I couldn't really comment on that . Who can say what's happening?
I'm the Mayor of Greater Manchester you know ✨️ ☺️ '
Typical BBC News leading with a report by a Committee chaired by a Tory. He just happens to release his negative report on the same day Starmer is hosting Zelenskyy, Macron and Merz. It’s a stitch up.
A reminder: The Tories hollowed out Defence.

In February 2027 the UK can cancel its NHS contract with Palantir.
It must, we must remove this US spy company from the UK unless we wish to become a slave colony to the US.
Israel killed at least 14 people in Gaza and injured dozens on Sunday in strikes across Khan Younis, Gaza City, and Deir el-Balah. Meanwhile, Israel has closed all crossings into Gaza, blocking humanitarian aid from entering.
“The problem is not Netanyahu.”
“The problem is the whole of Israeli society.”
“About 70–75% of Israelis say there are no innocents in Gaza.”
“No innocents — in a land of children.”
“Israel kills children as a hobby.
“As a hobby.”
—Professor Norman Finkelstein
Later this week it will have been 50 days since @Nigel_Farage last held a press conference.
Given he's had so long to get his story straight, @annaturley is calling on Farage to answer 50 key questions about his secret £5 million "gift". It's time he finally came clean.
Israel responds to Iran's retaliatory strikes by cutting off all aid to Gaza.
This is a state which routinely collectively punishes civilians as a tactic of war.
This is monstrous, and it is also a grave war crime.
Every time I see Muhammad Ziauddin Yusuf pop up on #BBCLauraK
I'm reminded of how upset Nigel Farage would get at unelected people being platformed
"None of you have been elected, none of you have any democratic legitimacy for the roles you currently hold"
