A 2-0 win over Slovakia has given Northern Ireland more than a fighting chance of qualification for the 2026 World Cup.

They have not reached a men's World Cup since 1986 — could Michael O'Neill's side make history?

When I was 7, my teacher told us to write an article about “world cultures” for school over the weekend. I remembered it late on Sunday so in a panic I made up something called the "Icelandic Fish Festival", figuring said teacher wouldn’t know either way.

You don’t actually have to both sides this. The Jewish community in the UK is not the Israeli government. You can just condemn the murder of two British Jews killed in their place of worship and you don’t have to say a single other thing.

Starmer says past governments have been "squeamish" talking about immigration. Bullshit.

Starmer isn't bravely breaking a taboo. He's blaming vulnerable people & deflecting attention from the super rich who hoard power & wealth.

Black Leopard, Red Wolf by Marlon James is a malarial fever dream of a book. Very dense, deeply embedded in African folklore, perhaps a bit too literary for me but an extraordinary piece of work.
