Is this the best World Cup team photo of all time?

Bravo, Norway 🇳🇴⚔️

Pathetic little man. Helps fuel race riots to take the heat off the limited media probing into his crypto financing. Avoids anything but tame interviews which allow him to spout his slogans. Takes sides with a fascist South African tech bro also whipping up racial hatred against the elected PM of UK, the country he claims to love and wants to lead. Demands apologies for word slips on the BBC (which made him). Yet to apologise for the Brexit which has made British people financially worse off (not him though)

The idea that in recent days whole towns and villages were blatantly, deliberately cut off from the public water supply because water companies haven't invested in enough equipment to treat and supply water is utter madness.

Pacifist grannies hold placards supporting Palestine Action while fascist thugs openly give Hitler salutes on the streets of Southampton. Guess which of them gets arrested on terrorism charges.

[Marcus Chown @marcuschown]

I thought we had laws to prevent the incitement of hatred.

How come Farage does exactly this and gets away with it?

Time and time again.

The Farage riots are not universally known as the Farage riots for nothing.

And yet governments sit on their hands.

They are complicit.

[Chris Hinchliff MP @CHinchliffMP]

Politics must serve the public.

That’s why I’m calling to ban housing developer donations - their influence works against public good.

I also back Neil’s push to break the link between donors & public contracts.

Government must prioritise living standards over vested power.

Last month Keir Starmer spoke about “public ownership in the public interest” for British Steel. But he is ignoring another piece of critical national infrastructure that supports the economy – the water company that stopped meeting its licence conditions in July 2024.

As a result of Tommy Robinson & Nigel Farage the Sikh Community in Southampton may be the targets of racist right wing attacks-will Keir Starmer offer them the same level of Protection given to the Golders Green Community?

[Cat Hobbs @CatHobbs]

Are you hearing this Labour MPs? Your government has the power to stop this. To take failing water companies into special administration and permanent PUBLIC OWNERSHIP instead of letting them ignore statutory duties while continuing on a licence which gives them 25 YEARS NOTICE

[Zara Hussain @zarahussain999]

A British national living in Southampton had her car and property damaged. She said,

“I’ve never felt so unsafe in my house.”

She did not feel unsafe because of Sikhs, Muslims or migrants but because of other British nationals, a section of whom were far right.

[Richard Murphy @RichardJMurphy]

Why did the BBC describe rioters in Southampton last night as ‘protestors’. They weren’t protestors, they were rioters. Where has the BBC's objectivity gone? Why can't they tell the truth?

[Roger Gall @Shambles151]

Should Nigel Farage be arrested for willingly and deliberately inciting riots in Southampton?

Please RT after voting - thank you.

South West Water's £1.8m fine is pathetic. 16,000 households affected. >500 people taken ill. 10 people hospitalised.

22 convictions for SWW since 2014. Why do we reward criminal activity with a 25 year licence & fines totalling 0.04% of the money they've extracted since privatisation?

They should be fined into oblivion. https://t.co/9Cy725jiHD

[Shabana Mahmood MP @ShabanaMahmood]

The scenes this evening in Portswood are completely unacceptable.

The Nowak family made a powerful call to us all yesterday to not let Henry’s death be used to create further division, hatred or tension.

There can be no justification for hijacking this tragedy to stir up violence and disorder. Those responsible can expect to face the full force of the law.

I thank the police who have tonight shown great bravery and calm in the face of disgraceful violence directed at them.

[Chris Bryant @RhonddaBryant]

She’s right

[Channel 4 News @Channel4News]

Economist Mariana Mazzucato says Brexit led to businesses leaving the UK, shrank market opportunities and damaged investment.

She tells The Fourcast that Nigel Farage and Boris Johnson have still not been held accountable for what she calls one of the country's biggest economic mistakes.

Nigel Farage and Boris Johnson have both denied lying to the public.

[Feargal Sharkey @Feargal_Sharkey]

"Andy Burnham has launched a scathing attack on 'profiteering' water companies, demanding United Utilities cancel its final dividend payment to shareholders in August."

Now there's something we could all vote for, well done @AndyBurnhamGM

Tip of the hat sir. 👏👏👏

Rain on the Colne in #Denham this morning.
After the dry weather heavy downpours will see rapidly rising water levels but it is also a time when rivers are vulnerable to first flush pollution events from any hard standing.

Reform already has a dedicated television channel in the shape of GB News. BBC One could at least make an attempt at impartiality.
