I wish my nan had asked for my consent before she hugged and kissed me. I nearly swallowed her false teeth once.
Today I join others from across our game and call for Gianni Infantino to resign as FIFA President.
Infantino has debased the office that he promised to elevate. He has lied, deceived and tried to feather his own nest at the expense of the game he is supposed to serve.
He has lost the support of his senior staff, his closest advisers, the vast majority of people who devote their lives to this sport and even, it would seem, the FIFA Peace Prize winner.
It is too late to save his dignity but it is not too late to save football. He should go. Now.

ANDREW NEIL: In 55 years of covering politics, I’ve never accused
ANY government of congenitally telling untruths. But Starmer
has taken lying, gaslighting and deceit to a new level

Just to be clear... Lord Mandelson, a proven liar, failed security vetting to be the UK's most senior diplomat trusted with vital state and security secrets - but no one at the Foreign Office bothered to tell the PM or anyone else at Number 10 about it.
Do they seriously expect us to believe this claptrap? Just how dumb do they think we are?!
The Prime Minister is either a liar or a fool. Either way, he has to resign.

“The Prime Minister lied.
It’s now in the national interest he goes.”
Keir Starmer’s words…not ours.
We’re only holding him to the standards he set himself.

BREAKING NEWS: “Starmer denies knowing he was Prime Minister”
Sir Kier Starmer has revealed that no one told him until last Tuesday he won the 2024 election and had become PM.
He told Beth Rigby “I was totally kept in the dark by my officials. I’m really angry about it.”

Keir Starmer never wanted a grooming gangs inquiry. It's why his planned inquiry is set to be a sham.
But we can make him reveal the full truth about these horrific crimes.
More than 18,000 people have already told him that they want the truth. Here's how you can help 👇
Replying to @Katie_Lam_MP
You can read our concerns about the consultation at the link below.
It only takes a moment to fill in your details. We'll then submit a response to the Government consultation for you.
We need to uncover the full truth about the grooming gangs.

We are sending our kids to school to memorize facts that AI can retrieve in 0.3 seconds.
We're grading them on essays that AI writes better than their teachers.
We're preparing them for jobs that won't exist by the time they graduate.
The entire education system is training humans to compete with machines at what machines do best.
That's not education. That's sabotage.
The schools that survive will teach thinking, not memorizing. Creating, not repeating. Discerning, not obeying.
Every other school is a museum that doesn't know it yet.

We Are Failing A Generation of Kids!
Delighted to see such a big piece in The Guardian today detailing my thoughts about the growing use of screens in our children's lives.
Over the past decade, childhood has fundamentally changed. Many young people are now spending significant portions of their lives in digital environments designed to capture and hold their attention.
It is so clear to many healthcare professionals that this rapid increase in screen time is having a devastating effect on the health and wellbeing of our children. There are multiple potential issues including anxiety, depression, worsening eyesight, visual problems and lower quality sleep.
Another concern of mine is that these devices (especially social media use) train distraction. Everything good in our lives comes from our ability to be present - our relationships, self worth and contentment.
We are failing our kids. Our job is to protect them and put safeguards in place like we do with gambling and pornography.
Successive governments have been weak and allowed tech companies to decide what is best for our kids. A few weeks ago, there was hope that a social media ban for under 16s would be forthcoming in the UK but, unfortunately, it seems as though the current government are trying to stall this with another 'consultation'. This has been going on for far too long. We already know enough. How many more kids need to be negatively impacted before action is taken. It is time the politicians acted and did what we expect them to do - protect the wellbeing of our children.
This is not about blame. Teachers and parents are struggling and need the government to help. As @JonHaidt eloquently says, this is a collective action problem.
We are in the middle of a widespread social experiment that no one consciously signed up for. And it is our kids who are paying the price.
What do you think? Do you think we should ban social media for under 16s? What about the rapid increase of screen use in schools? I'd love to hear your perspective below!

Nothing, as far as i'm aware. Regulation can seem very lax
Stories coming my way at the moment seem endless.
Christian Brown retweeted
War is back in vogue and a zeal for war is spreading. The principle established after the Second World War, which prohibited nations from using force to violate the borders of others, has been completely undermined. #Peace is no longer sought as a gift and a desirable good in itself. Instead, peace is sought through weapons as a condition for asserting one’s own dominion. This gravely threatens the rule of law, which is the foundation of all peaceful civil coexistence.
