UEFA blasts FIFA proposal to allow for $10B in World Cup private investment
UEFA has rejected a reported FIFA proposal to sell stakes in the World Cup to private investors as a "line that football's governing institutions should never cross" and that the World Cup is "not FIFA's to sell."

Andy Burnham's proposals to help young people into work & provide more opportunities in technical education sound promising, but what about NEETs who need help right now? There's a cohort of young people whose lives were blighted by COVID who are emerging into the job market & really struggling.

The fact that J.K. Rowling successfully bullied Amnesty International into taking down a report that accurately called out her attack on trans people, especially trans women, is so repulsive and such a display of the power of her money, and her choice to put her vast fortune behind persecution.

He fell asleep in a meeting with Turkish President Erdogan, referred to Iran as the "Islamic Republic of Japan", TikTok as "Tic Tac", President Zelensky as "President Putin" & once again demanded the U.S. be given control of Greenland. He's much less dangerous while sleeping than when he's awake. 💤

A reminder of Starmer's pledges when he stood for the leadership. One of many reasons I don't trust him and think he's just a hollow shell of a politician, who stands for nothing.

Kare 11 local news just read, in full, this statement from Michael and Susan Pretti, the parents of Alex Pretti. "Please get the truth out about our son."
Statement from Michael and Susan Pretti
Parents of Alex Jeffrey Pretti

“We are heartbroken but also very angry.

Alex was a kindhearted soul who cared deeply for his family and friends and also the American veterans whom he cared for as an ICU nurse at the Minneapolis VA hospital. Alex wanted to make a difference in this world. Unfortunately, he will not be with us to see his impact.

I do not throw around the ‘hero’ term lightly. However, his last thought and act was to protect a woman. The sickening lies told about our son by the administration are reprehensible and disgusting. Alex is clearly not holding a gun when attacked by Trump’s murdering and cowardly ICE thugs. He had his phone in his right hand and his empty left hand is raised above his head while trying to protect the woman ICE just pushed down, all while being pepper sprayed. 

Please get the truth out about our son. He was a good man. Thank you.

When do you think ICE/MAGA will finally realise they're the bad guys? First they shoot a woman literally named "Good", next a nurse who treats military vets in Intensive Care. However the regime try to spin them as "domestic terrorists" surely at some point the cognitive dissonance has to kick in?

The message from the White House this morning is that, once again, it falls on ordinary American citizens to remain calm and professional when dealing with the heavily armed agents of the government because they are very emotional and might fly off into a murderous rage at the slightest insult.

There's something disturbingly uncanny about Kristi Noem. It could just be all the botox and plastic surgery she's had, that prevents her from displaying normal human emotions in her face, but I think it's also her complete lack of a soul.
