🚨 NEW: Sagal Abdi-Wali is now the frontrunner to be Labour’s candidate in Holborn and St Pancras
She arrived in the UK as a child refugee from Somalia and is an ally of Keir Starmer
🇸🇴🇺🇸 A Somali referee got flagged at the U.S. border over suspected terror links.
His response wasn't anger. It was a call to his entire nation:
"It is up to all of us to defend the Somali name. Somalia belongs to us whether it is in a bad state or good state."

"Very poor white people” are being convinced that “very poor, hard-working brown or Black people” are responsible for the “problems caused by billionaire white men”, Allison Morris, Crime Correspondent at the Belfast Telegraph, says in the wake of the riots that spread through the capital of Northern Ireland overnight.
🚨 Andrew Tate addresses all non-Muslims:
“I assure you that 99.9% of Muslims think just like you and feel just like you and they are GOOD people.”
“There is a large propaganda campaign to get you to hate Muslims and think they are your enemy.” 😳
This man's name is Jimmy Corry.
The home he had lived in for 13 years in Belfast was destroyed in an arson attack carried out by the far right. Corry lost all of his belongings along with his home.
Despite having done nothing wrong, he became a target of racists.
The right wing and the far right have not tweeted about this Nazi who tried to behead a Kurdish barber with an axe.
Nigel Farage, Tommy Robinson, Robert Jenrick, Rupert Lowe, and all the usual suspects were silent. But they are very vocal about incidents like the horrific attempted murder in Belfast and Henry Nowak’s murder.
They are opportunists who use horrible incidents involving minorities to sow division and hatred.
A Saudi student was stabbed in the neck outside student accommodation in Cambridge by a cocaine user, and they did not say F all.
As a World Cup host, the U.S. shouldn't be flippantly barring officials from entering the country to do their jobs.
It's terribly backward.
It's also counterproductive.
Global sports competitions should improve international exchange and relations, not the reverse.
What an absolute disgrace. A FIFA-certified referee being denied entry to the United States purely because he is Somali.
The World Cup is meant to bring people together. This is racism, plain and simple. Shameful.

A young Palestinian fisherman from Gaza Mohammad Mousa Abu Jiyab posted a video of him fishing in the sea looking for food.
Israel didn’t like that, so they sniped him.
It’s necessary and humane to oppose his killers, their ideology, and their state.
BREAKING 🚨:
New York Mayor Mamdani condemns the Trump administration over how they are handling the World Cup, arguing that travel restrictions and visa denials are threatening the tournament's global spirit.
It's embarrassing for the US to prevent a FIFA accredited Somali referee from entering our country. If we accept hosting the World Cup, we need to welcome teams, officials, and fans from all nations. This is the "world" cup - not the "European" cup!
