Trump booed while Mamdani cheered at NY Knicks game

Tommy Robinson in Russia with alleged sex abuser, Elon Musk’s father

In what may be his strangest move yet, Tommy Robinson has released a video of himself with Elon Musk‘s father, Errol, an alleged sex offender. Tommy Robinson is in Russia with Erroll Musk, who has been accused of sexually abusing five of his children and stepchildren. pic.twitter.com/kHKxFiVpC4 — Mukhtar (@I_amMukhtar) June 9, 2026 For clarity’s sake, we’re not saying it’s a ‘strange move’ because Errol has faced accusations of sexual abuse. After all, hanging around with alleged sex offenders is par for the course with Robinson. What’s not standard practice, however, is pissing off his wealthy backers and as we’ll get…

Somali referee dropped from World Cup after US visa denial

Somalia’s top referee, Omar Abdulkadir Artan, has been dramatically ruled out of the 2026 World Cup after being denied entry to the United States, ending what would have been a landmark moment for Somali football. The 34‑year‑old, voted Africa’s best referee in 2025, was set to become the first Somali official to take charge at a men’s World Cup finals. Instead, he was forced to fly back to Istanbul after being turned away at Miami International Airport. FIFA confirmed the decision late on Monday, acknowledging that one of Africa’s most respected officials would not be part of the tournament after US…

Christian Eriksen doing well at home after collapse during friendly

Christian Eriksen’s collapse during Denmark’s friendly against Ukraine sent a jolt through the Nature Energy Park crowd and brought the match to an immediate halt. What began as a routine warm‑up fixture ahead of the summer schedule turned into a moment of collective fear, one that revived memories no Danish supporter ever wanted to relive. The 34‑year‑old midfielder went down shortly after the hour mark, appearing to clutch his chest before falling to the turf. Players reacted instantly, waving urgently for medical staff while forming a protective circle around him. The stadium, loud only minutes earlier, fell into a stunned, suspended…

ICC prosecutor suspended over alleged sexual misconduct in ‘politically motivated smear campaign’

The International Criminal Court’s (ICC) chief prosecutor Karim Khan has been suspended from his duties following an investigation into allegations of sexual misconduct. Khan has now been referred to disciplinary proceedings which will see a vote by all 125 ICC member states, with the upcoming vote set to decide his fate. However, prior reports regarding the investigation suggested that three judges found that the evidence was not conclusive, despite a UN probe initially finding a “factual basis” for the allegations of sexual misconduct raised by a female aide. Khan has refuted the allegations levelled against him as a “politically motivated smear…

DWP’s new AI jobcentre built a CV for a parrot, what will it force disabled people into?

Keir Starmer has launched the latest crap policy that he thinks will save his failing premiership: an AI jobcentre advisor – because that’s exactly what the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) need. DWP and AI needs to walk the plank The Prime Minister announced at London Tech Week that the DWP had developed the new ‘AI work assistant’. Starmer called the tool a ‘jobcentre in your pocket’ and said it would help unemployed people find work and help build them CVs. Science editor at The Times, Tom Whipple decided to give it a go, with a twist. He wrote on…

Reform council accused of banning displays for Refugee Week and for Pride month

The Reform-led council in St Helens has instructed all local libraries to take down displays promoting or funding anything relating to Pride or Refugee Week. This Orwellian – and bigoted – move comes just as Refugee Week is set to commence, between the 15th and 21st June, and shuts down the long-seen practice of libraries highlighting resources which increase understanding and compassion towards marginalised communities. At the same time, the council have afforded £200k of taxpayers’ money to pay a consultant to ‘educate’ elected Reform councillors on the inner workings of the council over four years. This follows a comment made…

Polanski accuses Telegraph of ‘making up quotes’

Zack Polanski has accused the Telegraph of fabricating quotes. And he’s got good reason to do so, because the way the Telegraph presented the following information clearly gives an entirely false impression: We're at the point where the Telegraph are literally making up quotes. I said when veg is sold for pennies in supermarkets, it's a sign someone's not being paid properly. Farmers being paid a pittance for their produce. Workers on less than a living wage in supermarkets. https://t.co/rQOSII9l1p — Zack Polanski (@ZackPolanski) June 9, 2026 ‘This is not a quote’ Something we should explain is that there are two key…

Netanyahu’s order for 70% Israeli control of Gaza is not ‘self-defence’ – it’s ethnic cleansing

The International Centre of Justice for Palestinians has commented on Israeli plans to seize control of even more of Gaza: Benjamin Netanyahu’s order to the IDF [Israel’s name for its military occupation forces] to seize control of at least 70% of the Gaza Strip is an egregious violation of the so-called ‘ceasefire’ that Israel has violated more than 3,000 times since October. Increasing Israeli occupation of Gaza has gone unchecked and the so-called ‘yellow line’ has continually expanded, with Israeli soldiers operating an open-fire policy on any Palestinians who finds themselves within the no man’s land, most of whom are in…

53% of left-wing ex-Labour voters ditched party over genocide

The Labour right and their friends in the media are constantly urging the party to become more regressive to appeal to Reform voters. As we’ve reported in the past, though, Labour actually lost four times as many voters to parties on its left. And now, we have a clearer picture of what pushed them in that direction.   EXCLUSIVE: More than half of former Labour voters who intent to back a centre or leftwing party in the next general election have cited the government's record on Gaza as a reason for abandoning Labour, new polling shows. — Harriet Williamson (@harriepw) June…

Senegal enters the 2026 World Cup finals with a rare blend of ambition, experience and renewal, in an attempt to rewrite one of the most beautiful stories in African football on the world stage. Although the ‘Lions of Teranga’ were unable to go beyond the quarter-finals of the 2002 World Cup, the signs leading up to the current edition suggest that the West African side possesses the qualities to make it one of the leading contenders to play the role of ‘dark horse’ in the tournament.
