People who pre-registered for tickets for the next world cup are astounded at the prices. A news report from NBC News reveals that the cheapest seats for New York for instance start at $620 dollars, but are already on the re-sale market for between $1500 and $2400 dollars per seat.
----------------------------------------------------------------------

This World Cup could be a disaster. You already have Trump saying he won't allow Iran to attend the draw. There could be big issues for fans and maybe even teams if ICE are allowed to run riot.

Trump has also floated the idea of moving games away from cities he deems unsafe, or more appropriately Democrat cities.

Can easily see it being a horrible experience all round for the fans.

It's about time MPs salaries were based on their attendance record both in the HOC and in their own constituencies.

I've no idea why that thought suddenly came to mind.

Agreed... House of Lords too.

I'd bet Farage has a low attendance record as he's a fraud

Can't remember who it was, Starmer maybe, but someone said a few weeks ago that they've never seen Farage actually say anything positive about Britain and it really is true.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
that was the main theme of Starmer's speech at conference last week. And of course, he is dead right.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Farage has no plan on the economy. Until he does then I dont see reform as a threat to anyone. 10 seats if they are lucky next election

Yes but Starmer got alot of criticism when he first got in for talking the country down and only changed his outlook when Trump won and his positivity was compared to Starmers misery.

Hilarious on QT when that mouthy facker who now leads the Greens was giving it the usual stuff about Farage being a Fascist/Naaazi and it was pointed out to him that as a man who claimed he could enhance the size of a woman's breats by hypnosis he probably should shut up. I wasn't expecting to hear that when I turned it on!!? Haha.

Great to see that Sky are having to mess around with the sound on their darts coverage as "Keir Starmers a Wancerrr" is being sung loudly by the audience.

You underestimate how willing the electorate is to vote for someone based on one single issue.

Farage calling the Truss budget the best budget of his lifetime should have been enough to consign him to the dustbin, yet here we are with them polling at 35% all because of migration.

The amount of airtime Reform and Farage get is so disprortionate for the amount of MP's and substance to any of their policies outside of immigration. It's expected from our lopsided towards the RW press. I'm.disappointed in telly/news channels for over platforming this nonsense and lies. They can't just be doing it for the subsequent clicks & engagement for revenue.

He's got his own hour of hate programme on GBeebies. Why do the supposed more sensible, sober outlets give him and his shady party even more airtime?

Case in point, the SNP were polling around 50% in Scotland for the better part of a decade

He does, though. Reform does have an economic policy package. It’s just completely incoherent, populist gibberish.

Isn’t the prize for events that occurred the year before though? He wasn’t president then but he may win it next year if he has his way

It may be unpalatable, but I hope that’s a posthumous award.

Thinking you might mean Armenia old chap.

Why no-one has mentioned the peace he brokered between Narnia and Tattooine through trade tariffs is beyond me.
