Badenoch claimed Labour had tipped the balance too far against workers and in favour of welfare.

The FIFA Peace Prize ceremony at the World Cup Draw, with its blatant political pandering, was one of the more embarrassing episodes even in the history of an organization famously rife with fraud and corruption, Louisa Thomas writes.

I give you @David_Cameron The man that put PARTY ABOVE COUNTRY to simply resolve an argument with the eurosceptic ranks of the Tories and therefore gave rise to the shit we are now in. A weak man, and a fool. #BrexitBrokeBritain

Never, ever, ever, ever in the entire history of humanity has one human being’s ego needed to be stroked so much. It’s so fucking pathetic. And shame, shame, shame on all the ego strokers.

Excellence from the greatest of football writers.
The Adoration of the Maga. A few thoughts. It all felt a step too far by Gianni Infantino. The award of the inaugural Fifa Peace Prize felt more to do with its president’s desire to please powerful politicians as much as Donald Trump’s love of such glitzy, expensive offerings of

I can’t believe UK media has spent the last 2 weeks discussing whether it ‘s fair to call Farage a racist based on his teenage behaviour… As titillating as it is to question accounts of the bullying behaviour of a boy Nazi they could just look at what he does as an adult 🙄

Nathan Gill was the Reform Party leader in Wales and he’s just been sent to prison for 10 years for taking £40k off a Putin stooge to peddle pro-Kremlin propaganda. Farage has been desperate to distance himself from Gill, but pls watch this by @ABarrosCurtis , for the truth 👇

CEO-to-worker pay ratio in 1965: 20-1 CEO-to-worker pay ratio in 1990: 75-1 CEO-to-worker pay ratio today: 280-to-1 Trickle-down economics was always a sham. Nothing has ever trickled down.
