'Of all Gianni Infantino’s delusions, perhaps the most dangerous is that he regards himself as a head of state.
'Hawking a slice of the World Cup, for all its flaws the most cherished competition in sport, should be the cue for outright rebellion. Uefa should have the courage of its convictions and issue a warning to secede. For what would the event be, ultimately, without Europe?'
@oliverbrown_tel says, in Infantino's warped realm, too much is never enough 👇

He can’t help himself but brag and boost his own ego.
Even when this admission should result in the US being disqualified.
And all the while MAGA cultists applaud this blatant corruption.
The game is well and truly gone
Trump on Balogun: "I saw the play, and I'm a person that loves sports ... that wasn't a foul. That wasn't even an infraction ... this referee, who is a little bit suspect if you check his past. He made a call that nobody could believe ... he's our best player, or one of our best players. And he gave him a red card. I didn't know what that meant ... yes, I asked for a review by FIFA."
It's time to lower people's bills.
It's time to tackle poverty.
It's time for a country where we don't just survive - but thrive.

One element of the political policing intimidation attempt is over.
We played a historic set at Glastonbury. Whole area closed an hour before due to crowds. A celebration of love and solidarity. A sea of good people at the world's most famous festival.
Shortly afterwards we learn of an active police investigation. An investigation that followed after the Prime Minister himself said it "was not appropriate" we played Glastonbury.
Walk off stage to the rapturous sounds of good people and into the creaking scheming sounds of the establishment.
This "investigation" was reported across the world's media often with wildly misleading headlines.
Every single person who saw our set knew no law was broken, not even close....yet the police saw fit to publicly announce they were opening an investigation.
Why open and publicise an investigation into fuck all?
This is political.
This is targetted.
This is state intimidation.
After the media damage is inflicted and seen by millions of eyes - you receive a private email to say there's no evidence and no action - that is seen by two people only.
There is no public apology, they don't send this to media or post it on police accounts.
We will continue to fight.
We will continue to win.
Politics aside, it should be a point of pride that our Deputy Prime Minister is a northern working class woman from a council estate who has done well for herself
So Farage says he will cut fuel duty by 20p a litre costing £9.4billion but giving no details how he would pay for it. The IFS is right, Reform would crash the UK economy even worse than Liz Truss. Don’t believe a word Farage and Tice say. They are just populist fantasists.
