AFCON confirms it is a joke competition by stripping Senegal of the win and awarding the win to Morocco. This after some horrific refereeing decisions against Senegal during the game saw tjeir players leave the field. Very dodgy. #afcon

🚨🤯 SHOCKING Extreme far-left “activists” have robbed a Tesco. They claim to have “liberated” the food. Whatever the cause, this is theft — pure and simple. Retail crime is out of control, and it is not a victimless crime. This mob should be prosecuted.

Well done to him. But just a reminder that football didn’t begin in 1992. The youngest-ever scorer in England’s top division was Jason Dozzell (16 years and 57 days), for Ipswich against Coventry in 1984 (I was at the match, oddly enough).

@UKLabour Tice: Tax avoidance operates within the letter of the law. Rayner: Tax evasion is a criminal offense involving deliberate dishonesty to not pay taxes owed.

So you price young people out of the labour market with huge rises in the minimum wage and national insurance. Then you subsidise employers to employ young people. Government is brilliant. Simply brilliant.
🔴 The Telegraph understands that Pat McFadden will announce on Monday that employers will receive a £3,000 taxpayer subsidy for hiring under-25s who have been on Universal Credit for more than six months Find out more ⬇️ https://t.co/AJWCO9vfg4

Seems @susannareid100 and @edballs were right to ask Zack Polanski so many questions about his past life as a hypnotherapist in 2025, now the @RadioHumberside interview from 2013 has been unearthed Cc @GMB @BBCNews

Here’s what @ZackPolanski doesn’t want you to know 👇 ✂️ He was 'proud' of the Lib Dem coalition, whose austerity drove Londoners into poverty 🔁 Only discovered his Green values after being blocked from becoming a Lib Dem MP in 2016 🎭 Nick Clegg was his hero, now it’s Corbyn

What I find remarkable about this is that someone who preyed upon women, and their vulnerability, for money, now is presented and accepted as the politician most supported by young women. He is a fraud, a quack, a huckster, and yet they don’t care. https://t.co/hGWSiTFshD

A newly unearthed interview from 2013 casts doubt on the Green Party leader's claim to have apologised.

They say capitalism makes the rich richer. Capitalism also lifted 2 billion people out of poverty in 30 years. Socialism has never done that. Not once. Not anywhere.

What utter tripe. Giving a kid a meal doesn't "lift them out of poverty", and it is ridiculous to suggest otherwise. But we also know that this isn't actual poverty, but relative poverty - which is about comparing to what others have, not that they haven't got enough.
Labour MPs just voted to expand free school meals to half a million more children, lifting 100,000 children out of poverty. The Tories and Reform UK voted against. Only Labour will give children growing up in our country the best start in life.

This photo from London at the weekend speaks a thousand words - pro Islamic Republic merges with the Palestine Solidarity Campaign, Stop the War, the Socialist Worker and even the Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament (the irony is off the scale!). Just out of sight are the unions.

Socialism is the theory that if you abolish profit, bread will somehow bake itself out of moral superiority.

The British anti war movement is on the streets marching against a war we’re not fighting and in support of a regime that butchered 40,000 of its people in 3 weeks, has an age of sexual consent of 9 and hangs gay men from cranes until long after they are dead.

It is quite scary that this man is in a senior cabinet position in the UK government
Britain’s former foreign secretary,David Lammy, a man I have seen in attendance at Nato meetings, announces Cyprus is part of Nato… what a bloody clanger, and goes a long way to demonstrating how many parts of SW1 simply don’t understand how Nato works.

This looks like it is straight out of the Orwellian "Ministry of Truth" play book. Are we really trying to terrify our children out of sharing memes or links they find funny? Is this what the UK has become?
🚨The UK Government are now making ads which feature terrified children being arrested for sharing memes online designated as 'terrorist content' The UK is a police state

🚨NEW: Ed Miliband has finally published the text of his secret energy deal with China. This is a huge victory for transparency after months of pressure from the Conservatives. So what has Ed signed us up to? He's committed us to 'cooperate' with the Chinese on: -Electricity
This is an astonishing exchange. Ed Miliband dodges the question SEVENTEEN TIMES on why he won’t publish his secret China deal. What is he trying to hide? Well done @BradleyThomasUK.

With every viewing it gets worse. This playacting is a cancer to the sport ‼️😵 https://t.co/XDwqfIcu9Y
