Gianni Infantino’s knack for cosying up to tyrants, grifters and human rights abusers with zero shame is genuinely astonishing. No one has turned football into a networking event for the morally bankrupt quite like him.

Today, we remember the 22 people who lost their lives in the Manchester Arena bombing eight years ago.
Our thoughts go out to their loved ones, as well as the countless people hurt physically and psychologically by the attack 🐝

The FAA approved another launch before the last crash investigation was completed — and it ended in another disaster.
Why is SpaceX getting a free pass from DOGE cuts? 🤔

Fans should not be paying the price for the historic bad decisions of ownership/management and the Glazers' debt interest.
We have always supported lawful protest for fans who are prepared to get off their backsides and walk the walk and we believe that's most effective when we talk the talk too.

Thought experiment for Labour…
With over 4yrs and a huge majority, why not stir it up? Pitch your tent defiantly on the liberal lawn, loudly reject the epic failures of Brexit and rightwing immigration ideology and see how many liberal votes you gain instead of chasing Reform into a toxic dead end?

What we are witnessing is the normalisation of extremism. If we allow the right to pretend that the German AFD is just another conservative party... or that Donald Trump is just another president... or that Elon Musk was just getting carried away with that salute are on a distinctly dangerous path.

England's children's homes run by private equity rake in millions.
Private firms own 83% of homes.
Average charge for a child in care is £281,000 a year. Some charge £63,000 a week per child.
