🚨BREAKING: Didier Drogba says if the USA didn't want other Countries citizens in the US they shouldn't have bid for the Fifa world cup 2026 and says denial of Iran supporters and Somali referee Omar Artan is totally unacceptable, Football should be separated from politics

"When a country bids to host the biggest football tournament on the planet, it knows exactly what comes with it. Players, referees, officials and supporters from every corner of the world are part of the package."

"I look at the situation involving Somali referee Omar Artan and I feel disappointed for him. FIFA selected him because he earned that opportunity on merit, yet he was unable to participate after being denied entry."

"Then you hear about Iran's football federation claiming that its supporter ticket allocation was withdrawn just days before the tournament. If true, that leaves ordinary fans paying the price for issues that have nothing to do with football."

"The people suffering are not politicians. They're supporters who save money for years hoping to follow their national team at a World Cup."

"Football has always been one of the few things capable of bringing different cultures together. The moment politics starts deciding who gets to be part of that experience, everyone loses."

"I played in World Cups and international tournaments. The beauty of those events is seeing supporters from dozens of countries sharing the same streets, the same stadiums and the same passion."

"No fan should be judged because of their nationality, and no referee should miss the biggest moment of his career because of political circumstances beyond his control."

"FIFA, governments and football authorities need to find solutions because the headlines right now are about visas, travel restrictions and disputes instead of the football itself."

"The World Cup should belong to the world. That's what makes it special. The game must always come first, and politics should never be allowed to overshadow football's greatest celebration."

Palantir's co-founder claimed "the NHS makes people sick".

Yet this US tech giant now runs the NHS data platform.

There are serious concerns about its access to patient data and human rights record.

The Government should use the break clause to kick Palantir out of our NHS.

[Mehdi Hasan @mehdirhasan]

I’ll be on @BBCNewsnight tonight at 10.30pm talking crime and immigration; the US/UK not-so-special relationship and a chaotic and anti-immigrant World Cup.

I’ll also plug @zeteouk 😉🤞🏽

Far Right thugs are using another tragedy to riot. Disgusting.

[Niazullah Khan Niazi ASC @NiazullahKPTI]

We demand the immediate release of Imran Khan and his transfer to Shifa International Islamabad. Never in the history of Pakistan any national leader has been treated in this way when courts are meant to be free from pressure.

[Mehdi Hasan @mehdirhasan]

My full interview on Sky News today on the launch of Zeteo UK, media failures on genocide and fascism, and whether interviewers should call out lies on air.

[Zack Polanski @ZackPolanski]

An event is planned to be hosted in London proudly promoting the sale of land on illegal settlements in the occupied West Bank.

This is obscene. I've called on @MayorofLondon and @YvetteCooperMP to stop the event and for this govt to take real action on illegal settlements.

[Saul Staniforth @SaulStaniforth]

.@mehdirhasan: ".. we shouldnt pretend that impartiality means you must take a middle position between two sides. Take the genocide.. the number of times that Sky & the BBC have given Israel a pass or taken an Israeli denial as fact when we know its not"

Frost didn't like that

[Ounka @OunkaOnX]

Richard Burgon just exposed the most glaring double standard in British 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?"

[Suppressed News. @SuppressedNws1]

WOW.

AlJazeera just dropped a ONE HOUR documentary about ISRAEL’s CRIMES against the PALESTINIANS.

This is very HARD TO WATCH.

[Sangita Myska @SangitaMyska]

I don’t think you’re in a position to call anyone a liar..

🚨 BREAKING: Top journalist Miguel Delaney drops a massive bombshell on LBC.

He confirms the Trump administration is actively violating international World Cup contracts by completely refusing to guarantee basic freedom of movement for participating nations.

[Gabbar @Gabbar0099]

Just found out that in 2021, the UN tried to declare food a human right, two countries voted against it.

The United States and Israel.

[Mehdi Hasan @mehdirhasan]

Me: "For example, do you use the word 'lie'? "
Host: "Yeah."
Me: "You say to guests, 'You're lying'?"
Host: "Well, no, because it doesn't happen very often."
Me: "It doesn't happen very often?"
Host: "Yeah."
Me: "Guests don't come on Sky and lie very often?"
Host: "No, but look..."
Me: "I think viewers would disagree."

Thank you to @SkyNews for hosting this important conversation about critiques of mainstream media coverage, as Zeteo UK launches this week.

[Saul Staniforth @SaulStaniforth]

.@mehdirhasan: "I'm very critical of the msm.. its what you're not doing well that we want to do better"

Frost: "What are we not doing well?"

".. when it comes to the rise of the far right & fascism.. the genocide the Gaza.."

A FIFA referee has spent more time in federal custody for being Somali than anybody on epstein's list who raped kids.

[Declassified UK @declassifiedUK]

🚨BREAKING -- Around 100 public figures including Sally Rooney, Greta Thunberg, Steve Coogan, and Mohammed El-Kurd have signed an open letter warning against "unjust" terror sentences for Palestine Action activists.

"To bypass the jury and sentence a group of protesters as terrorists would constitute an extremely grave miscarriage of justice, with consequences far beyond this case alone", the letter states.

🚨 DISGUSTING: Sky Sports confirms Washington humiliatingly blocked Africa's prominent top referee, Omar Artan, from the World Cup.

Despite having a valid visa, the Trump administration deported him to Türkiye over a travel ban. A total betrayal of fair play!
