Big new story from @annaisaac.bsky.social. Cottrell transferred $2m to his mother before she made Reform & Tice donations. The even bigger question now is where did Cottrell’s money come from? And this is where I think a very big problem lies.. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

My only take on Erling Haaland hype is that he grew up under Democratic socialism in Norway which boosts one of the highest happiest indexes of any country globally & I can’t but feel that come across in his attitude both as a player & human. He seems to be having fun. Like many whose needs are met.

I am profoundly ashamed of how our government treated the Iranian soccer team. They were classy the whole time. But FIFA cheated to get them out. And we treated them like shit. Not the fans. The fans were great. But the officials and organizers were ghastly. We started the war with Iran.

Half the uk population are women, therefore half the electorate, are women. Nigel Farage backs his candidate in Makerfield, who thinks women belong in the kitchen & can't drive. You don't have to vote Labour, just don't vote Reform. It's that easy.

Nigel Farage’s partner, a former waitress not known to have any private money, bought a £1 million house for cash shortly after he secretly received £5 million from a Thailand-based cryptocurrency billionaire - the same house that he claimed, months previously, that he was about to pay for himself.
