The Maccabi Tel Aviv midfielder Issouf Sissokho urged his teammates to make their supporters smile against Aston Villa, after away fans were banned from the politically charged Europa League match on Thursday. The Israeli club's fans were prohibited from attending on public safety grounds but, despite the ban, West Midlands police have been granted section 60 stop-and-search powers and plan to deploy more than 700 officers around Villa Park to cope with protests and potential unrest.

If Communist Candidate Zohran Mamdani wins the Election for Mayor of New York City, it is highly unlikely that I will be contributing Federal Funds, other than the very minimum as required, to my beloved first home, because of the fact that, as a Communist, this once great City has ZERO chance of success, or even survival! It can only get worse with a Communist at the helm, and I don't want to send, as President, good money after bad. It is my obligation to run the Nation, and it is my strong conviction that New York City will be a Complete and Total Economic and Social Disaster should Mamdani win, he wrote.

Last week, MAGA had a total anti-Indian meltdown on social media, revealing a deep, ugly racism toward South Asians. It comes amid the first real rebellion about rampant and increasingly open antisemitism within the MAGAverse, creating a massive rift between traditional conservatives and a younger, rabidly anti-Jewish contingent called groypers whose leader, Nick Fuentes, recently posted that he is "team Hitler."

Now if, like Musk's own children, you're not a member of the Elon fan club, you can probably imagine why Musk took on this project. Here's a man who purchased Twitter a few years ago specifically to refashion it into a neo-Nazi disinformation machine (check), insinuated himself with the second Trump administration so that he could hollow out the federal government (check), and designed electric cars that spontaneously combust, burning their liberal owners to death (check).

Bruce MacInnes was told by Tory party officials that his repeated allegation that Israel is committing genocide in Palestine constituted allegedly antisemitic, discriminatory and insensitive and highly offensive language, which resulted in his suspension from the party last year. MacInnes, who says he did not initially know about the disciplinary proceedings despite the party claiming they had emailed him, is bringing legal action against the party for 30,000 in the high court for breach of contract and discrimination based on belief.

Nick Fuentes, a 27-year-old white nationalist livestreamer, routinely uses his platform to deny the Holocaust, praise Adolf Hitler, denigrate women as "baby machines," and make wildly racist statements. Fuentes' abhorrent views have propelled him to far-right celebrity status, and he presides over a movement of "groypers"-young, highly online incels, neo-Nazis, and racist shitposters who follow him. Over the years, Fuentes has been crystal clear about his ultimate goal:

The Paris criminal court gave two-year sentences to Georgi Filipov and Kiril Milushev, described as the perpetrators, and four years and three years respectively to Nikolay Ivanov and Mircho Angelov, considered the operation's masterminds. Angelov is still at large. All four were also banned from entering French territory for life. The trial was the first of its kind in France, one of a series of similar crimes suspected of having been orchestrated by a foreign power with the aim to destabilise.

Party chief Peadar Tóibín 'shocked and disgusted' after bigoted posts from private chat exposed Aontú has sacked the leader of its youth wing and dismissed five other members after it learnt of the existence of ­secret WhatsApp groups where some Ógra Aontú members posted racist and antisemitic comments. The Sunday Independent has seen a collection of the inflammatory posts that led Aontú to dismiss six members of its youth wing from the party, while three others remain suspended pending further investigation.

He said: Mandami is a job-killing socialist, and he's not a Democrat, right? He shouldn't be in the Democratic Party. He's an admitted socialist. He should be in the Socialist Party. And as good of a campaign as he's run, I have very strong disagreements with his views, whether you're talking about government-run grocery stores, obviously his continued anti-Semitic rhetoric, refusal to condemn phrases like globalizing Intifada, which is a call for the killing of the Jewish people.

Birmingham's safety advisory group is meeting next week and is expected to produce proposals about the extra resources West Midlands police would need to allow the match to go ahead safely with away fans. The force last week barred Maccabi Tel Aviv supporters from the match because of concerns that officers would not be able to police it safely. They cited violent clashes and hate crime offences at a Maccabi Tel Aviv match in Amsterdam in 2024.
