@SamaHoole A fleece is worth less than the cost of shearing, so shearing is mainly for health reasons, much better than meds or dipping that allow the sheep to shed its fleece, the flight costs and B&B for the shearers must be astronomical and in no way could it be a profitable operation.

🚨🇲🇽 President Sheinbaum TURNED DOWN her World Cup ticket over the ridiculous prices, choosing to gift it away and watch Mexico's victory with the people at a free local screening instead.

🚨📢| José Mourinho on the Somali Referee Drama and the 2026 World Cup:

“It’s not about UEFA appointing the Somali referee for the Super Cup between PSG and Aston Villa,” Mourinho reportedly argued. “We need to blame FIFA for all this drama. Why take a precious tournament to a country that’s not traditionally known for football passion in the same way, and then have all these issues with people getting denied entry? This must be shaping up to be one of the most chaotic and boring World Cups ever.

not just about welcoming him back home as a hero or finding him another stage. Things have to be done properly next time-proper planning, better coordination with hosts on visas and security-or the World Cup will start losing its credibility. Football’s biggest event can’t keep getting dragged into these avoidable messes.”

Richard Burgon highlights the stark double standard in UK policy:

"Imagine if this weekend in London there was a Russian real estate event selling Ukrainian land. The government would ban it immediately.

Instead, we have an Israeli real estate event openly advertising the illegal sale of land in occupied Palestinian territories. The government recognizes Palestine. Why isn't this banned?"

John Healey’s replacement as defence secretary is Dan Jarvis, who was listed as a friend of Israel before LFI removed this webpage.

Judge Johnson’s rogue manoeuvrings in the rigged trials of the Palestine Action activists have so incensed the legal profession that thousands signed a petition demanding that he take the chance last Monday to recuse himself from the sentencing hearing.

He, of course, refused to do so.

They call his behaviour during the trial “biased” and “discriminatory conduct” and have referred him to the Judicial Conduct Investigations Office.

Here is David Whyte, professor of law at Queen Mary’s University of London, who handed the petition to the JCIO, explaining another reason why so many legal professionals are outraged by Judge Johnson’s actions:

He has shown exceptional “cruelty and vindictiveness” in holding the activists in remand for more than three times the normal maximums, even when the prosecution was not asking for them to be remanded, and for refusing them bail between their convictions and sentencing.

The Court of Appeal is due to issue a ruling on the government’s appeal against an earlier High Court decision declaring Palestine Action’s proscription unlawful this coming Monday, days after Judge Johnson’s sentencing of the Filton activists.

If this is all starting to look like theatre, that it because it is. In dictatorships, these are called show trials. Everyone understands that the outcome is predetermined. Everyone understands that justice is non-existent. The verdict is entirely political. It is a faux-legal rationalisation of what the security state wants.

Judge Johnson is the perfect judge to play that part.

The courts will do exactly what is expected of them unless they are worried that public revulsion will discredit their decision. Now is the time to raise our voices.

"Si los israelies no donan su propia piel ni sus órganos, por motivos religiosos, ¿como es posible que tengan el mayor banco de piel y órganos del mundo? ¿De donde lo sacan? Están expoliando a un pueblo hasta llegar a quitarles la piel".

La activista turca Aycin Kantoglu, miembro de la flotilla humanitaria Sumud, se cuestiona de donde salen los órganos y la piel que compone el banco donante más grande del mundo de "Israel".

Infantino claims he can't do anything about Referees, players, journalists and fans being banned from the World Cup because in every country there are Governments.

In 2023 Indonesia refused to let the Israeli U23 squad have visas

FIFA instantly moved the tournament to Argentina

One of the most beautiful moments before Spain vs Peru pre-World Cup did not come from a goal, a tackle or a piece of skill. 🇪🇸 v 🇵🇪 💘

It came from kindness.

As the players walked onto the pitch, Peruvian defender Fabio Gruber noticed that the young boy with Down syndrome accompanying him was feeling cold in the stadium. Without hesitation, he removed his own jacket and gently placed it over the boy’s shoulders.

In that simple act, football showed its heart.

Moments like this are why the world loves football.

As we head towards the 2026 World Cup, may we see more of this spirit on and off the pitch.

[Clive Lewis MP @labourlewis]

The many takes flying around about John Healey, resignation gossip and national security spending miss a fundamental point.

In Finland, where people have a strong social safety net and a real sense of shared national purpose, around 80% say they would be prepared to defend their country. In the UK, that figure is closer to 30%.

That should tell us something.

Until we change the financial architecture of our economy and bring the essentials of life out of the grip of corporate extraction and into public ownership, we will always be told to choose between bombs and butter.

But the reality is we need both.

Modern hybrid warfare means every public service is part of our national resilience. Energy, water, housing, health, transport, food security and social care are not separate from defence. They are defence.

If we want people to defend the country, we have to build a country people believe is worth defending. A thriving state. A fair economy. A society where everyone feels they have a stake.

I spoke about this on Peston on Monday night.

[Mosab Abu Toha @MosabAbuToha]

Just in: A video from inside a court in occupied Jerusalem shows Dr. Hussam Abu Safiya appearing via video link and attempting to speak with his attorney before Israeli court security blocked the screen and terminated the call, preventing journalists from filming the exchange or the video appearance.

I listened carefully to what the attorney was saying to Dr. Abu Safiya. It appeared that Dr. Abu Safiya could not hear him. The attorney repeatedly stated that he could neither see nor hear Dr. Abu Safiya after his “captors turned off the camera.” He also informed him that some people were present in the courtroom to show their support and that they were waiting for the judge to arrive so that he could be brought back on screen before the court addressed the appeal.

This is Israel’s democracy. Dr. Abu Safiya has been subjected to starvation, abuse, and cruel torture, and this latest development only adds to concerns about the conditions he has endured and the lack of public scrutiny surrounding his case.

Starmer held an emergency COBRA meeting when a mentally ill man stabbed his friend in the morning, then went to Golders Green and attacked Jewish people.

Now there’s been an actual pogrom in Belfast and racist riots in Southampton — where’s the emergency COBRA meeting?
