Uefa showing Infantino that FIFA is a federation... not a feifdom. Good show 😁 #Infantino #UEFA #FIFA #WorldCup
Reform UK... Jenrick, Tice, Farage, et al... are on the back foot with no answers in regard to potential money laundering investigation. #ReformUK #Jenrick #Tice #Farage #UKPolitics www.theguardian.com/politics/liv...
This is Pamela Walford, standing as an "independent" in the Clacton by-election Pamela is a member of Reform UK & stood for them in the Maldon constituency during the 2024 GE Reform are running a shadow candidate in #Clacton to split the anti #Reform vote #UKPolitics @electoralcommission.org.uk
Well done & congratulations Spain 🇪🇸. Absolutely deserved. The right team won. #Trump #Netanyahu 😂😂😂
Of course Trump has back peddled on the 20% tarrifs in exchange for protection... Because he can't protect anyone in the Strait of Hormuz... he can't deliver the goods! #Trump #USA #GOP #USPolitics #Iran #StraitOfHormuz
Gaza has not gone away! The genocide & ethnic cleansing is continuing! Food & aid is still being blocked! Attacks on civilians including aid workers are daily! Israel is a murdering oppressive state! Netanyahu is a war criminal? World...SPEAK OUT & ACT! #UnitedNations #Israel #Palestine
Trump announces the US will charge all the nations a 20% fee for something he won't be able to DELIVER ... safe passage of the Strait of Hormuz... A leopard never changes it's spots! An action which will also impact on world oil prices. #Trump #USPolitics #OilPrices #GOP #MAGA
Polling done by Ipsos in the UK has Count Binface MILES ahead of Nigel Farage. 33% of Brits would prefer the Count wins the Clacton by-election than the Reform leader, who is on a meagre 21%.
Reform UK... Including Farage, Jenrick, Zahawi... the lot of them... are rotten to the core. #UKPolitics #ReformUK
"... if he wants to spend the summer arguing with a bin I won't stop him" 😂 🤣 😂 #Farage #Clacton #UKPolitics #ReformUK
Despite what he says, Nigel Farage has claimed £161,180 since becoming an MP for office expenses. #Farage #ReformUK #UKPolitics
Trump is a cheat. Infantino is a cheat. FIFA is a cheat. ⚽⚽⚽⚽⚽⚽⚽⚽⚽⚽⚽ Come on BELGIUM 🇧🇪 ... do the business. Beat the USA 🇺🇸 for all of us. @ussoccer.com #GianniInfantino #WorldCupFinals2026 #RBFA
Smashing result for England. Cracking second half after a shaky first. 4 - 2! Well done England! #FIFAWorldCup #England #Croatia
If, from his annual chech up, his height & weight are true, Trump is very over weight & bordering on obese. #Trump #MAGA #USPolitics #USA 🇺🇸
With the death of tenor sax 'Colossus' Sonny Rollins, at 95, this is a 'moment in time' for the jazz world. The last of the jazz giants who appeared on the photo 'Great Day in Harlem' from 1958, where the cream of the jazz world appeared together for a photo, including ... #Jazz #SonnyRollins
Smashing result for Bolton Wanderers FC ... 4-1 against Stockport in the League One Playoff😁. Championship next season. Well done all. Great atmosphere in the Yarrow Bridge in Chorley while we watched the game. #EnglishFootballLeague #Championship #BWFC
Come in Chorley folk.... Let's keep Reform out... Vote Green 💚 Don't forget your ID to vote 😊
Come on Donald was it a legendary "Project Epic Fury" or was it a skirmish? And while we are at it... Is is "Project Freedom" or "Project Leave'em"? 😂 🤣 😂 🤣 😂 🤣 😂 🤣 #Trump #GOP #MAGA #WhiteHouse
Reminds me of a recent visit to a care home & a lady with severe dementia, trying to connect with a 3 year old, said "Come & have a go if you think you're hard enough" Very sad for Donald but I think the time has come... #Trump #GOP #MAGA #USPolitics www.aol.com/articles/cre...
Doesn't mean it didn't happen though 😡 #Trump #Jesus #Christians #MAGA #GOP #USPolitics
Today the Church celebrates the life of Dietrich Bonhoeffer (1906-1945) executed by the Nazis just days before the end of WWII. His words still ring true today including... "Silence in the face of evil is itself evil: God will not hold us guiltless. Not to speak is to speak. Not to act is to act"
Israel is killing unarmed civilians in Lebanon 🇱🇧! Why? Because that's what Israel does... kills unarmed men, women & children; commits crimes against humanity, war crimes, & genocide; & oppresses people from other ethnic groups & religions. #Netanyahu is a war criminal. #Israel #Lebanon #Palestine
