just now (1055+ words) At a gaudy and gauche World Cup draw, Gianni Infantino went all out to flatter the world's most precious ego It had about as much drama and suspense as reading a dictionary or watching election results come in from North Korea. To the surprise of no one, Donald Trump won the inaugural Fifa peace prize on Friday at a cheesy, gaudy and gauche World Cup draw expertly designed to flatter the world's most precious ego.

The government has committed itself to a national inquiry on grooming gangs, but it has been thrown…...

As chairwoman of the Equality and Human Rights Commission, she has found herself at the centre of one of the most toxic and politically charged debates in Britain. Falkner, 70, whose tenure at the EHRC came to an end last week, was responsible for trying to draw the line between women's rights and trans rights. At times, the hostility has been overwhelming. Falkner was on the receiving end of relentless abuse from trans activists, and eventually had to leave social media entirely. Some of the messages directed at her and others were so extreme that she became afraid that she was going to be attacked on her way to work, and began changing her daily route. "You're afraid that somebody will flip and attack you,…...
