Made it out of Ireland with 2 samples of Aughinish alumina powder to get tested.

It’s from two sources: at the refinery and from a worker who doesn’t want to be identified. He told me the biggest threat to his job is russian ownership and he wants it exposed & nationalised

[Hussain Shiyam 🇵🇸❓🎈 @ShiyamHussain]

This is utter bullshit. When Indonesia refused to grant the Israeli under 17 team visa’s for the 2023 U-20 World Cup, FIFA stripped Indonesia’s hosting rights and moved it to Argentina. So @FIFAcom can stop with the lies.

[Caolan @CaolanReports]

This is snowballing seriously fast. It genuinely looks like something is going to be done about the russian refinery in Ireland.

He is only 33 years old. This is the biggest moment of his career. He’s probably been waiting for it for months.

But who will talk about it? There are 48 teams, hundreds of players, and representatives from all over the world. Who will finally speak up?

[The Purple Pimpernel @Eyeswideopen69]

Why is Rob Kenyon refusing a routine DBS check that would make any historical criminal convictions or cautions a matter of public record I wonder?

[Trades Union Congress @The_TUC]

You voted against scrapping zero hour contracts.

You voted against banning fire and rehire.

You voted against day one sick pay for workers.

You said the minimum wage was too high for young people.

Reform politicians openly say they don't like trade unions.

You will always put the interests of your offshore crypto billionaire donors ahead of workers.

[Jorge Liboreiro @JorgeLiboreiro]

Ireland is battling a PR nightmare over its continued sales of alumina to Russia.

The scandal comes as Dublin prepares to take the reins of the EU Council presidency.

Here's what's happening.

For DBS checks to be conducted, proof of ID and address must be provided by way of original documentation.
The fact Rob Kenyon will not co-operate with the process suggests something is amiss.

[World Cup 2026 Daily @TotalFootball]

The Senegalese 🇸🇳 delegation gets this treatment on arrival in the USA. Full tarmac searches, shoes off, bags turned inside out like criminals.

This is straight up humiliation and a disgrace. They’d never put white boys through the same.

[Jeremy Corbyn @jeremycorbyn]

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.

[Farrukh @implausibleblog]

Mick Lynch repeatedly humiliates Reform UK's Laila Cunningham

She then accuses Mick Lynch and Labour of spreading lies to "win the argument" denying that Nigel Farage wants an insurance-based NHS

Here are two clips of Nigel Farage saying,

1. He doesn't want the NHS funded through general taxation

2. He wants an insurance-based system for the NHS

[BladeoftheSun @BladeoftheS]

The USA have blocked the Somali Referee Omar Artan from entering the USA, the Referee who is rated the best in Africa was blocked at entry, so he got the Somalian embassy to give him a Diplomatic Passport.

But the USA still refuses to let him in.

The USA need to be disqualified

[Socialist Opera Singer @OperaSocialist]

Rob Kenyon has missed his first meetings as a councillor in Makerfield because he refuses to sign the paperwork to have a DBS check done.

What is he hiding?

Never Vote Reform

[Sam @SamCKx]

Rupert Lowe, a 68 year old, privately educated, former investment banker, backed by the world's richest man, is trying to convince you he's not the establishment.

[Michael Lambert @MichaelLamberta]

Anyone ever find out what happened to our £28,000,000,000 spent on Test & Trace which didn’t really work or the billions spent on PPE which had to be burnt because it was out of date or unsuitable? And what happened to the charming Michell Mone, still on her yacht?

[Prem Sikka @premnsikka]

Sainsbury's boss eyes bumper £7.3m payday as shoppers reel from higher food prices.

Up from £5.4m last year – 200 times average employee pay.

Govts preach pay restraint to workers, silence on exec pay, shareholder returns.

Let workers vote on exec pay.

So GB News was set up as a propaganda outlet in the first place, Boris Johnson filled the BBC with personal buddies and Tory placemen, and it now emerges that former 'regulator' Lord Grade is openly biased in favour of rightwing politicians. See how it works yet?

[Tanita Tikaram💙 @tanita_tikaram]

The pretence that you are holding these awful people to account while continually platforming them & their hateful divisive politics makes the BBC slightly more vomit inducing than Reform . That’s quite an accomplishment.

[Keir Starmer @Keir_Starmer]

Our support for Ukraine is ironclad.

We will stand with Ukraine for as long as it takes. Ukraine’s security is Europe’s security.

Slava Ukraini.
