Hard to see what FIFA, the institution, is getting from this guy’s relationship with this guy? FIFA left badly exposed whatever benefit its president seems to derive in terms of status or whatever else. Some FIFA members must be thinking, “blimey - that’s our president.”

ICE detainee in Arizona dies after not receiving medical attention for severe tooth pain Emmanuel Damas, a Haitian asylum seeker, was being held at the Florence correctional center before he died

A Haitian asylum seeker detained by ICE died after being refused timely medical attention for a severe toothache.

At least 40 people have died in ICE custody since Trump took office — a two-decade high.

The monstrous cruelty of Trump's police state knows no bounds.

LIST OF BUSINESS FOR THE PRIVY COUNCIL MEETING, HELD BY THE KING AT BUCKINGHAM PALACE, ON 10TH MARCH 2026 PRESENT AT COUNCIL His Majesty The King

1. PRIVY COUNSELLORS Dame Sara Cockerill DBE, Sir David Foxton, Sir Robert Miles and Dame Amanda Yip DBE were sworn as Members of His Majesty’s Most Honourable Privy Council. An Order striking out The Lord Mandelson from the List of Members of His Majesty's Most Honourable Privy Council. 2. PROCLAMATIONS Three Proclamations determining the specifications and designs for a new series of coins:- 1. celebrating the Lunar Year of the Sheep; 2. depicting the music group the Spice Girls; 3. depicting six character tokens from the board game Cluedo; and an Order directing the Lord Chancellor to affix the Great Seal to the Proclamations.

The juxtaposition of the first and second items of business for this Privy Council meeting is hilarious.

The police had done nothing for six months, even though this was a terrorism matter, and then rushed through a charge without the requisite decision from the attorney general. There was then an attempt to reissue the charge even though they knew it was a day late. And the CPS, rather than accepting defeat at first instance, devoted time and resources to an appeal, even though the applicable law was long settled. Terrorism law should be taken seriously. It is a special body of law in respect of dealing with particular threats. But the case of Liam Óg Ó hAnnaidh shows two things. It shows the lack of seriousness with which the police take terrorism legislation, and it shows the utter seriousness of the CPS in trying to protect itself.

What the botched prosecution of Liam Óg Ó hAnnaidh says about the police and CPS

A series of unforced errors show that terrorism law is not taken seriously by those who should be enforcing it
