What an obsequious, toadying, servile, brown-nosing, corrupt little cunt Gianni Infantino is.
The FIFA 'peace prize' is the most cringe-worthy, pathetic thing I've ever seen in my life.
Football deserves better than this travesty of a ceremony and ruling body.

It's Farage at his absolute weakest - thin-skinned, easy to offend, and nurturing a persecution complex.
He’s a vile man, no intellectual ability, just attacks anyone who disagrees with him.
A Trumpian drip.

BOE Cuts Banks’ Benchmark Capital Requirements.
Just as the AI bubble readies to burst, and shadow banking is running amok.
Lower buffers will reduce bank ability to absorb shocks.

Trump defends Mohammed bin Salman over the 2018 murder of journalist Jamal Khashoggi:
"A lot of people didn't like that gentleman... Things happen... He knew nothing about it."
A US intelligence report concluded that bin Salman personally "approved an operation" to "kill or capture" Khashoggi.

In 1974, our local Labour Party Young Socialist group invited a bloke who'd just sought asylum in Yorkshire. He was from Chile, a critic of Pinochet and had fled for his life. He opened our eyes to the world.
Not sure how he'd be treated now.

Less than a week ago, the PM warned about rising racist and divisive rhetoric.
Yet the government’s focus on asylum and immigration — while urgent issues like child poverty need their focus — risks fuelling that very division.

A strong immigration system doesn't need to be a cruel one.
It shouldn't need saying - but refugees & asylum seekers are real people, fleeing war and persecution.
This daughter of an immigrant is proud of our British and Labour values of respect and not turning our backs on people in real need.
