โNigel Farage is a privately educated former City broker, who has been a member of the political class for 30 years. He's a multi millionaire, he's got 5 properties. His party is funded by a billionaire. He couldn't be any more establishment could he ?โ

๐จ NEW: Nigel Farageโs ยฃ5m gift from crypto billionaire Christopher Harborne was reported to the National Crime Agency by his bank over fears it was laundered money

One phone call from President Trump to his buddy Gianni Infantino and โ boom โ FIFA overturns a World Cup red card suspension for the first time in tournament history so U.S. star Folarin Balogun can play Belgium tomorrow.
Belgium is already furious and โastonished.โ They should be. Contest this rigged nonsense publicly all day today and all day tomorrow.
The World Cup on American soil just became a Trump family business. So much for credibility, fairness, or rules. This stinks of corruption. โฝ๐๐บ๐ธ
๐ณ๐ด Norway manager Stale Solbakken with a strong response to Folarin Balogun's red card being suspended:
๐ฃ๏ธ Solbakken: "It is a big mistake by FIFA. It is not a great conclusion. He got a red card and the VAR concluded that it was a red card. That means you are suspended for one game.
I think what is really bad about that situation is, if the USA beat Belgium, they will always have that extra thing about it.
The Belgians will be furious. What about the next red card? What happens there? Will some committee take it away? Itโs a bad, bad, bad, bad decision that will hurt the World Cup and the United States."
๐จ ๐๐ฅ๐๐๐๐๐ก๐: The Royal Belgian Football Association has released a statement in regard to Folarin Balogun being able to play against them.
"The Royal Belgian Football Association (RBFA) is astonished by FIFA's decision to declare suspended United States player Folarin Balogun eligible to play in the USAโBelgium match on Monday, 6 July at 5:00 p.m. (Seattle time)."
"FIFA bases its decision on Article 27 of the FIFA Disciplinary Code. This provision states that the FIFA Disciplinary Committee may decide to suspend the enforcement of a previously imposed disciplinary sanction."
"However, Article 66.4 of the same FIFA Disciplinary Code clearly provides that a red card (sending-off) automatically results in a suspension for the team's next match, as has been the case for all previous red cards issued during this FIFA World Cup."
"Furthermore, and irrespective of the above, the decision is in direct contradiction with the provisions of the FIFA World Cup 2026 Competition Regulations, as set out in Article 10.5:
"If a player or team official is sent off as a result of a direct or indirect red card (second caution), they will automatically be suspended from their team's subsequent match. In addition, further sanctions may be imposed."
"The automatic nature of such a suspension was also explicitly reaffirmed in FIFA World Cup 2026 Circular No. 16, which was distributed to all participating member associations on 12 May 2026."
"The same rule is reiterated at every FIFA World Cup 2026 Match Coordination Meeting prior to each match and is included in all FIFA World Cup 2026 workshop presentations.
"In order to safeguard the legitimate rights of all participating teams and to protect the fundamental principles of fair play in our sport, both at this FIFA World Cup and at future editions of the tournament, the RBFA is investigating all potential options."
When an MP can pocket more in a couple of hours of โworkโ than a nurse earns in an entire year - as Nigel Farage has done - something is deeply broken in our politics.
This has to stop. Itโs time to ban ALL MPsโ second jobs.
From my speech in Parliament today.
Today I led a debate in Parliament to ban ALL MPsโ second jobs.
Nigel Farage didnโt show up to defend any of his - including the latest one, raking in ยฃ22,500 an hour to promote a gold dealer.
The gravy train must end. Watch the debate below.
Today I asked the Government why taxpayers are subsidising poverty pay.
The DWP says 1.2 million people are working full-time but still rely on Universal Credit because their wages are too low.
I asked whether large employers will be required to report how many of their workers need Universal Credit.
Work should pay enough to live on. No one working full time should go hungry.

BREAKING: I've secured a parliamentary debate next week on banning all MPs' second jobs.
Farage has pocketed over ยฃ1 MILLION from outside "work" since the General Election
Being an MP is a full-time job. No MP should be out chasing lucrative second jobs.
Let's end this racket!
At least the British people now know where they stand. Even if they vote in a PM with a massive majority he or she will be forced from office if the UK media decide they don't like them.
They will push and undermine until Farage is in Number 10. It's what their owners want.
