Nathan Gill is no fringe politician. He was the leader of the Reform Party and before that UKIP in Wales. A Brexit Party MEP. A friend and ally of Nigel Farage, who in 2016 called him: "terrific," and "as honest as the day is long." This is a MASSIVE story

World Cupâs dynamic pricing model lays bare Fifaâs singular motive: profit, at all costs
At one point not long ago, the world governing body at least tried to look like it cared about growing the game worldwide. Not any more If thereâs the tiniest sliver of an upside to the latest news about ticketing for the 2026 World Cup, itâs that we can finally dispense with the pretense that Fifa is interested in growing the game any more. Fifa confirmed on Wednesday that it will, for the first time, use a dynamic ticket pricing model for the tournament, which will be co-hosted by the United States, Mexico and Canada. While tickets will initially range from $60 for the cheap seats in some group-stage matches to $6,730 for the best vantage point at the final, those prices will then be algorithmically handed over to the market to respond to demand, which will probably cause them to skyrocket. After all, the first tranche of tickets goes on sale through an application and lottery system next week, but the World Cup draw will not take place until December. The gap between ticket sales and the assignment of teams to those actual matches all but guarantees a surge of demand for a diminished supply. Continue reading...
