@AngelaRayner @AndyBurnhamGM @andy4makerfield Traitors, all of you.

@DawnButlerBrent @AndyBurnhamGM I’m surprised at you. I thought you had more integrity. Makerfield was already a Labour seat and this campaign is a ridiculous farce.

@IsabelOakeshott A White Brit was literally jailed last month for a public attempted beheading.

But Reform, Farage, Lowe, Musk etc didn’t make outraged posts about that case.

Because REFORM rhetoric was her gateway to far right groups (whose members openly support Restore).

Who would you prefer as UK Prime Minister?

[Reform Party UK Exposed 🇬🇧 @reformexposed]

2 things, 1) he wasn’t back doing his plumbing job after Question Time, he was out campaigning with @ZiaYusufUK as per his video and 2) his other job is being a Councillor in Wigan, which he’s not signed on for or done a single meeting for.

Why not report that @Daily_Express?

What has happened at the #2026WorldCup over the last 48 hours:

• Swiss footballer Embolo's visa was put under review and he was only able to join his team days later.

• Iraqi national team player Aymen Hussein was held for questioning for nearly 7 hours upon entering the United States.

• The Iranian national team spent days dealing with visa procedures at the U.S. Consulate in Türkiye. The U.S. only allowed them entry on match days. Fifteen members of the delegation were denied visas.

• Omar Abdulkadir Artan, named CAF's Best African Referee of 2025, was denied a visa. Despite travelling to the U.S. with a diplomatic passport, he was refused entry and sent back. FIFA announced that he will not be able to officiate at the tournament.

• The South African national team arrived in the United States much later than planned because part of the delegation was not granted visas.

• Members of the Senegal national team staff were forced to remove their shoes and subjected to lengthy searches, sparking accusations of racism.

• The Uzbekistan national team was searched with bomb-sniffing dogs and the footage went viral in international media.

• Some Scottish supporters, despite being eligible to enter the U.S. visa-free under the ESTA programme, had their travel authorisations revoked just days before departure.

• Many supporters who had already bought tickets and booked accommodation had their visa applications rejected, resulting in financial losses.

Please share this. If we stay silent today, we normalise this tomorrow.

The exclusion of Somali referee Omar Artan from the World Cup is deeply troubling. As a British journalist of African origin, I am angered not only by what happened to him, but by the cowardly silence of FIFA and CAF. If they will not defend an African official at a World Cup, what do their commitments to inclusion and equality really mean?

[Mirror Football @MirrorFootball]

Omar Artan's inability to work at the World Cup - and FIFA's refusal to stand up for him - is a disgrace

It is also a direct result of Gianni Infantino cosying up to Donald Trump, writes @felixkeith

[Snr. Cde. Robert Kabushenga @rkabushenga]

So all referees should boycott officiating @FIFAWorldCup matches in solidarity with Omar Artan, the Somali referee denied entry into the US. African football teams should refuse to play in protest at the humiliation of our champions Senegal. Then we shall see solidarity in action rather than empty bellicosity

[Mukhtar @I_amMukhtar]

Big up, Uncle Ian Wright for speaking up, and he's 100% correct.

Look how Qatar got dragged when they were hosting the World Cup.

[Michael Lambert @MichaelLamberta]

Anyone ever find out what happened to our £28,000,000,000 spent on Test & Trace which didn’t really work or the billions spent on PPE which had to be burnt because it was out of date or unsuitable? And what happened to the charming Michell Mone, still on her yacht?

[Harry Eccles @Heccles94]

This is the tweet that @ZiaYusufUK wants us all to forget.

Don’t let him! RT!!

[Just Dave now @justdavenow89]

If Brexit happened again tomorrow how would you vote

please repost after so its not echo chamber vote thanks

[Steve Hook @steve_hook8]

@harrison_alan @loubrimg @Keir_Starmer Same here. I've already told her that I hope she's deselected for 2029.

[Steve Hook @steve_hook8]

@PaulVick138203 @helloKi30596224 Wilson for me. But Starmer is the best for the last 15 years.

[Yorkshire girl @helloKi30596224]

As a Labour supporter or member are you disgusted by the behaviour of Andy Burnham and his disrespect for Keir Starmer?
Please RT for a greater sample

[Steve Hook @steve_hook8]

@RupaHuq @EalingLabour @shawgareth You're ridiculous.

[JBL @johninsouthfla]

The BBC refuse to hold scammer Farage to account. MPs are meant to declare ALL gifts over £300 in the calendar year leading up to their election.

I refuse to look away. Repost if you feel the same.
