The World Cup host country usually sees a huge boost in its tourism – but in America, hotel rooms remain empty, and stadium seats un-booked.
Greed? The war in Iran? Or, is the Donald Trump effect putting people off America?

Denise- I say this to everyone. The thing that was killing me more than anything else was not the crack it was the vodka. Alcohol is the worst drug of them all. I was drinking a handle a day while smoking crack. It’s the hardest to stop and the easiest to start. It’s the only drug (outside of benzos) you can die withdrawing from. And I know why you drink. You drink because at first it works. Don’t want to feel the way you feel. Well for people like us we know the answer. But you can stop- but rarely alone. Ask for help. Get honest with someone you trust and tell them you need help. We are never alone. I see you. I hear you. The one thing we all have in common is pain. We think we are alone but we are not. I have faith in you. I really do and I don’t even know you. It’s so much better on the other side.

Lawyer Peter Stefanovic - whose political films have been watched over a billion times - breaks down Reform's Great Repeal Act line by line: strip day one sick pay, legalise fire and rehire, lift zero-hours protections, repeal the Renters' Rights Act, abolish the Equality Act, and leave the ECHR.
He also notes that almost half of Britons believe net migration has increased when it's fallen 48% to 171,000.
His conclusion: if the media explained Reform's policies, nobody would support them.

I’m fortunate I know , but the through of having to tolerate even the written form of this kind of language is awful . What happens to middle aged nostalgic men like this to make them even write like this . I guess it’s engagement farming protocol … how vile .
As so often find I agree with @matthewsyed - here arguing facts have been competed out of our politics - but dare I suggest what few ever say in media: the ‘print’ media and commentariat have often allowed fact-free news - or low fact news - to flourish…. on Brexit… on so much else… Musk has been able to find friends among the editors…and Vance…
@FraserNelson@FraserNelson thank you for being a sane and sober voice on this issue. it is so important that people who are perceived as on the right are telling the truth so that there is a possibility of people thinking twice before needlessly attacking immigrants.
@DMcWilliams_UK Douglas, pollsters have long established that no one feels crime is falling nationally even though it is.
Some stats mislead: murder stats don't. Nor A&E admissions for knife wound and assault...
It's not just the exploitation of a tragedy.
JD Vance's picture of Britain - where migrants have led to a crime surge - is the opposite of the truth.

Vance vigorously supported the mass pardoning of the January 6 rioters - nearly 100 of whom have already been arrested for other crimes. And he lectures Britain - a country with a fraction of his nation's per capita homicides.
82 years ago, 14,000 Canadians landed on Juno Beach, many of whom would never come home.
On the anniversary of D-Day, we pause to honour those who served and sacrificed. We remember that our rights, our freedoms, and our way of life were fought for and were won by those who answered the call.
As Pragg became the first Indian to win Norway Chess, fans in Oslo mobbed him as he left the venue. Excited to meet the champion, they gathered around him, and Pragg took time to interact with almost all of them. Such a lovely moment!
