I’m a mother of six, and a Mormon. I have a good understanding of arguments surrounding abortion, religious and otherwise. I've been listening to men grandstand about women's reproductive rights, and I'm convinced men actually have zero interest in stopping abortion. Here's why…

When Russia hosted the World Cup in 2018, it had to suspend normal visa rules for the tournament. Foreigners with tickets could enter visa-free, using a scheme called ‘Fan ID.’

Russia also had to do weird stuff to keep FIFA’s sponsors happy. For example, small shops near Fan Zones and stadiums could only sell Budweiser beer on match days.

So yes, FIFA absolutely does dictate conditions to host governments when it suits FIFA. Infantino pretending otherwise is nonsense.

Why has the BBC got incels writing its headlines? This huge man, already a known stalker, grabbed this young woman by the hair, tried to sit on her, said gross things and tried to force her to kiss him, for 15 minutes until stopped. He absolutely does deserve this sentence.

What has happened at the #2026WorldCup over the last 48 hours:

• Swiss footballer Embolo's visa was put under review and he was only able to join his team days later.

• Iraqi national team player Aymen Hussein was held for questioning for nearly 7 hours upon entering the United States.

• The Iranian national team spent days dealing with visa procedures at the U.S. Consulate in Türkiye. The U.S. only allowed them entry on match days. Fifteen members of the delegation were denied visas.

• Omar Abdulkadir Artan, named CAF's Best African Referee of 2025, was denied a visa. Despite travelling to the U.S. with a diplomatic passport, he was refused entry and sent back. FIFA announced that he will not be able to officiate at the tournament.

• The South African national team arrived in the United States much later than planned because part of the delegation was not granted visas.

• Members of the Senegal national team staff were forced to remove their shoes and subjected to lengthy searches, sparking accusations of racism.

• The Uzbekistan national team was searched with bomb-sniffing dogs and the footage went viral in international media.

• Some Scottish supporters, despite being eligible to enter the U.S. visa-free under the ESTA programme, had their travel authorisations revoked just days before departure.

• Many supporters who had already bought tickets and booked accommodation had their visa applications rejected, resulting in financial losses.

@Nigel_Farage If you are the party of the workers, why did Reform MPs vote against these workers rights.

There is a lot of misinformation floating around about California’s election — including from the President.

This explainer is worth a watch.

And yes, for the record: we wish the votes were counted faster, too.

🚨 JUST IN:

​BBC compiled evidence of over 160 Palestinian children in Gaza deliberately shot in the head by Israeli snipers.

​The reports state: "Israeli Jews are hunting children for entertainment."

Well done to the social media person at Rowhead Farm near Stirling in Scotland for what is possibly the greatest Facebook post of all time …

[Mark Cockerton @CockertonMark]

I’m hearing that Farage is really upset that the riots he has incited are being called the #FarageRiots.
Probably best if we don’t refer to the riots that Farage incited as the #FarageRiots.
Please share to raise awareness of the importance of not using the term #FarageRiots

This is your reminder that JD Vance is the lapdog of Peter Thiel, a multi billionaire tech bro whose ideology involves the complete removal of democracy, in favour of a technocracy.

This is your reminder that Vance was linked to Georgescu in Romania who was arrested for collusion with Russia.

This is your reminder that Nathan Gill, Reform’s leader in Wales, was jailed for ten years for taking Russian bribes.

This is your reminder that the British frontman for MAGA is Nigel Farage.

This is your reminder that the US government has fallen to authoritarian far right extremism and is openly engaging in foreign interference.

This is your warning that tech billionaires are the only dangerous minority that anybody who calls themselves a patriot should be concerned about.

STOLEN. Overnight from outside my home in Canterbury. Honda CB500. V329DPN. They cut through the security chain. Reported to Police. Please repost. I am not optimistic about getting it back but the more people who see this post the more chance there is.

Farage is sick.

He's just made an "emergency address" where he exploited the tragic death of a young person, Henry Nowak, to push his hate fuelled agenda and try to deflect from the very serious allegations of bribery and misconduct levelled against him.

Farage is scum.

I spent two hours yesterday at Delaney Hall in Newark where 700 detainees are being held by ICE. What I saw and heard was horrific: worm-infested food, no access to medical care, no way to connect with their families.

Many of the detainees were lawful visa holders, including one 18-year-old who is missing her graduation and prom because she is being held in a cell.

This is not America. This is unacceptable, and it has to stop now.

Breaking news: Trump administration officials have pressed the Bureau of Engraving and Printing to design a $250 bill featuring the president’s portrait, in what would be the first appearance of a living person on U.S. currency in more than 150 years. https://t.co/S8sqdKSB7i

Billy Allison, the original founder of Raise the Colours, has been charged with murder and grievous bodily harm with intent after a man was badly beaten in a bar in Lichfield on Sunday. The victim died in hospital yesterday from his injuries.

He's due to appear in court today.
