#BREAKING: FIFA says Belgium's appeal against Balogun decision is 'inadmissible'

very very funny to see American progressives not only praising the suspension of the Balogan red card but also attacking “Europeans” who aren’t happy about it, Americans just can’t help Americaning when it comes down to it

Trump has done such a massive disservice to the US football team and American fans with his intervention. He's essentially politicised the team through tainting them with his corruption. The rest of the world is now rooting for Belgium tonight for political reasons. That's not how sport should be.

Ppl talking about a Reform vote share "collapse" of two points. Behave. 26% of the electorate is still suffering from licks to the head by horses.

Cant really argue with the VAR. Sure it's a cancer in how it changes player behavior when they're looking for every decision, but it exposes refs like Alireza Faghani for how the games at this level are happening too fast for them. There's no incentive for putting your specs on if you have VAR.

Some groggy, monosyllabic dads dropping the kids off this morning. This is all going to show up in this quarter's GDP.

National Rail update: not enough staff

There are Jordan Hendersons in A&Es up and down the country today. He was selected for this exact reason.

no comment.

If you're late for work this morning you're automatically removed from the pool of promotion candidates. Stagger in.

What a fitting end for Neymar…shit talking the goalkeeper who won the game for his team while you score a consolation penalty

Wondering if VER/RUS/HAM keeps fighting they give Antonelli a 1 stop option.

Boring race. Bring back yo-yo racing. #F1 #britishgp

Reform UK and Farage now bank with Lloyds Banking Group. The about Know Your Client (KYC) review ensuring compliance with anti-money laundering and other assessing other risks should probably come early.

A sidebar to the latest Farage revelations is how absolutely correct NatWest/Coutts were to debank him, although they arguably handled it in such a way to gift him material for his complaint which ofc he ran with.

So many old stores going back years about Cottrell and Farage. Why does it take so long for the bulk of the media to catch up and realise that this all more than cheeky chapter bad boys of Brexit? www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

A reminder that "Posh George" Cottrell is considered "like a son" to Nigel Farage. www.theguardian.com/politics/art...

Schumacher vibes with that Hamilton pole #F1 #britishgp

I find this train of super rich unknowns that find Farage useful very fishy. $10b net worth and a shell company in the BVI. We know of no "venture capital" deals, only than house purchases and a dispute over a Picasso. www.telegraph.co.uk/politics/202...

Tuchel shouts at Djed Spence every match like I do at my son to get his shoes on for school every morning. Same response too.

I don't see why Mexico aren't heavy favorites. I'd really like England to win but this is mispriced

"They've persuaded themselves they're left behind when they're not..." Says a very astute man about Reform voters. Left behind is the 1 million young ppl not in education, employment or training as AI removes their entry level jobs.

Congo parks the bus now?

"Justin Kluivert, Quinten Timber and Crysencio Summerville all missed their efforts and were subjected to discriminatory, racist and hateful comments..." There's a symmetry here with 3 English players missing their penalties in 2021 and the response from deadbeats. www.bbc.co.uk/sport/footba...

This country and/or the Labour Party has gone nowhere in 20 years.

Give Antonelli 1 more lap to pass Leclerc then put him into clear, cooler air #F1

Toss up on long run pace between McLaren, Mercedes and Ferrari but in qualifying Mercedes has an edge of a tenth or two. #F1 #austriangp #FP1 #FP2

"Isn't in the EU's interest..." "Doesn't the EU need to show more flexibility..." I get the BBC World Service needs to reflect the 10 year thought loop of the British ppl but surely, if things are so dangerous out there, the UK should do all the hard work and relent on all red lines.

sorry what

"It is my strong belief that those who have come to the UK on care worker visas who have played by the rules and have genuinely contributed to our care system should not be required to wait longer to apply for settlement." I struggle to find anything controversial in this statement.

53 degree track temperature, 32% ambient, 35% humidity compounding the high altitude lack of oxygen. Wondering if we'll see more random power losses and shut downs and dialed back deployment. #F1 #austriangp

7 out of 10 Reform led councils have cancelled climate emergency declarations. Meanwhile. www.theguardian.com/world/live/2...

According to Michael Wolff, Nigel Farage has been in constant contact with Trump for two weeks. So we know where Trump's views on Burnham come from. The most sensible advice for Burnham would be that when he meets Trump he wears a black t-shirt.

Zelensky warned Lukashenko on June 19 to remove drone relay stations in Belarus within a week — or Ukraine would. Now Kyiv says the stations went offline June 22. meduza.io/en/news/2026...

Djed Spence, the first Muslim man to play football for England, refused to shake hands with alleged rapist Thomas Partey last night. Nigel Farage, self-appointed saviour of ‘Judeo-Christian values’, described alleged rapist Andrew Tate as ‘an important voice’ for men young men a couple of years ago.

"Sponser"

It's a very Asian thing to get a wedding invite through the door from a name you don't even recognise. You open it and it's a 5 day itinerary. And it's in India. And you're still one the wiser about who is asking you to come and why.

If people fall asleep in the the first half you might run out of time in the second. Weird lack of urgency from England until the last 10 mins.

Steve and I recorded this a couple of weeks ago for release today and, predictably, plenty has happened in the intervening two weeks to reinforce most of what we said to each other. cakewatch.fireside.fm/tenyearslater

Fair play to the Brexit voters who are brave enough to say it was a mistake. The ones still trying to save face with juvenile reasoning: they don't even believe what they're saying.

The UK ten-year yield is 4.78% this morning showing a small improvement and is taking the change of Prime Minister very calmly so far.

A 12-month GBP/USD risk reversal of −1.265 means that options traders are much more worried about a significant fall in sterling over the next year than they are excited about a significant rise in #sterling – chart #BloombergTV live

I can't recall ever seeing a business with financials like OpenAI's. Capital expenditure in the last financial year: $46 million. Future purchase commitments: $665 billion. www.theinformation.com/articles/ope...

Matt Charley or right. There are some in the Labour Party who think walking around in a t-shirt is enough for Burnham.

Reminded of how quickly the Conservatives' polling improved when Thatcher announced her resignation in 1990

Getting to our 7th prime minister since 2016 I wonder if anything happened back then that so destabilised our constitutional and political order?
