Elder statesman, social democrat, humanist, anti monarchist, pro Europe, an admirer of kindness and decency. Suppose they'd call me woke, whatever that means!
So the leader of world soccer feels it's appropriate to give the President of the United States a shiny trophy and call it a peace prize. Something both in the gift and sentiment will be regarded by the rest of the world as totally meaningless because it is!

According to a new study, members of Congressional leadership perform 47% better in stock market trades than their rank-and-file peers, thanks to access to nonpublic information.
Today would be a great day to ban ALL elected officials from trading stock, don't you think?

FIFA don't have any business giving Trump a peace prize, they're a soccer organisation and that's all they are. The fact that the boss is a friend of Trump is irrelevant

Daisy Cooper, "In 2017 there was not a single asylum seeker that arrived on a boat"
"Today we have 46,000 a year"
"And do you know why?"
"Brexit"
"Pushed through by Boris Johnson and championed by Nigel Farage"
*audience erupts in applause" #BBCQT

A big part of Farage's audience, not all by any means, is your average thicko, complete with beer belly, shaved head and multiple tattoos, that will not be the slightest bit affected by the current furore over Farage

Trump literally stole the world club competition trophy, no one had the balls to insist on him returning it. God knows how he'll behave at the world cup!

If the people are angry at our politicians now I can't wait till they see what Farage has in store for them. Pay as you go NHS, back to deep freeze EU relations, austerity, massive welfare and other cuts to pay for tax cuts. Remember REFORM is the tory Party on steroids
This Reform woman on #politicslive is a piece of work.
Very pushy and opinionated, she claims Farage is "good for the country" on immigration, but shows no evidence that she or Reform know or care about the needs of most working people.
It's a narrow focus just on gaining power.

You're right. Probably it was never envisaged that a creature like Trump could emerge!
Giving the president the pardon power was a mistake. The most corrupt president in American history is conducting a jailbreak for his fellow criminals.

Yesterday the President fell asleep, yet again, during a televised fake Cabinet meeting staged so that each of his courtiers could heap praise on him, praise for which he couldn't stay conscious. He woke up just long enough to spew racism. Why is this not being treated as an emergency? >

people who complain are garbage. So by definition he only wants citizens that don't complain, see where this is going?
Disgusting, racist, and a reflection of the rot that got him elected and is sustaining his presidency. 🤮🔥

I can't understand the constant news cycle over the Epstein files. Surely they've been in Trump's possession long enough to ensure they're completely scrubbed of any reference to him?

Farage.
Grifter-in-chief. Racist. Russian asset. Trump groupie.
He gets an MP’s salary and spends his time doing anything but.
A professional piss-taker and national security (and sanity) threat, leading the polls to be the next PM.
Come on UK.
Get some sodding self-respect.

There's a permanent, ongoing, forensic examination of every connection to Labour the right wing parties and client newspapers can find, no matter how tenuous, fatuous, or plain ridiculous, even chess competitions!

An indication of how desperate they are for dirt that they investigate a chess tournament when she was fourteen!
But ... "but he's an Oxford graduate and a former banker" - surely that qualifies him to know so much more than mere chess champions from Lewisham
Truly shocking that Rachel Reeves had the audacity to call herself the U14 girls chess champions when she won the U14 girls chess championship but some bloke thought she was talking about something else.
