The RNLI's Chief Executive having to make statements and write to members and supporters to explain/justify what they do is a low point for this country. And the vast majority of mainstream newspapers, TV channels - and politicians from Reform, Conservatives, and Labour - are responsible. For shame.

Over the past month, New York has welcomed the world. From neighborhood watch parties to the stadium, we’ve celebrated the communities that make our city the global capital of the beautiful game. Today, we close out a historic World Cup, proud of how New Yorkers showed up every step of the way.

Egyptian football coach Hossam Hassan explains that he was struck at how Palestinians in Gaza were watching and rooting for Egypt despite their conditions and he made a promise to himself that if he saw a Palestinian flag somewhere, he would raise it at the World Cup.

After a months-long occupation, Minnesota is still recovering from a retribution campaign waged by the federal government. Now, Minnesota stands with Houston in demanding accountability for the fatal shooting of Lorenzo Salgado Araujo. This bloodshed cannot be normalized.

Nigel Farage is a grifter. He always has been and he's continuing to grift. He knew he was heading towards a byelection anyway so has pulled the trigger early. The people Vs the establishment?! Reform are literally part of the establishment.

For most of us, seeing the Klan 2.0, a.k.a. Patriot Front, march through Washington, D.C., unchallenged by authorities overshadowed any celebration of America’s 250th anniversary. My ancestors lived through this. And no one today can say with a straight face that racism is behind us.

Farage is obviously trying to stoke up race riots and exploiting a man’s murder to achieve that. Henry Nowak’s dad said outside court that he does not “want the murder used to create further hatred, division or tension. This is not about racism this is a case about murder." Farage doesn’t care.

Can someone please explain why the Israelis taken by Hamas were “hostages,” but the thousands of Palestinians taken by Israel, who have been systematically abused, starved, tortured and serially raped to death are “prisoners” or “detainees”? I’ll wait.

Donald Trump is trading stocks in companies his government affects through policy decisions. He’s holding the stocks while pulling the levers that determine their value. It’s corruption, plain and simple.
