The dream for the world’s most elite football clubs is going down in flames, now that all the premier league sides have backed out.

Any club involved in the the ‘European Super League’, that has been dubbed the billionaire boys club, will have to face consequences.

That was the warning from Football’s ruling authority earlier this week.

Coaches, fans and players protested their outrage for a break-away league.

Manchester City was the first club to cut the cord, less than 48 hours after the super league founders said this would save football.

Like a domino, five other English Premier League teams backed down after UEFA warned they’d be banned from every competition.

It’s hard to imagine the super league can still proceed ahead without any English sides.

Manchester United’s executive vice-chairman resigned from the top job, with calls for the rich owners of the other Premier League Clubs to step down too.

John Henry, the owner of Liverpool FC, took full responsibility and issued an apology to fans, players and Jürgen Klopp.

To say fans were excited their clubs made a back-flip and are boycotting the super league…is an understatement…

The fantasy league is being shattered by those at the heart of English football.

So, no matter how much money is at stake, the clubs are nothing without their supporters.

And despite the disaster, this has united fans together, speaking as one… for the love of football.

PM Keir Starmer faces pressure over Epstein links and party unrest, with approval at 20% amid resignation calls.

British Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer is under intense political pressure as he risks becoming the first UK leader linked to the Epstein scandal. His approval rating has plummeted to just 20 percent, leaving him vulnerable to criticism from within Labour and raising fresh questions about his leadership.

The party has faced further turbulence following the resignation of Peter Mandelson, who stepped down amid revelations over his ambassadorial appointment and an ongoing police investigation. This latest development has intensified scrutiny on Labour’s senior figures and added to concerns about instability at the top.

Opposition from Labour lawmakers continues to grow, with increasing calls for Starmer to resign despite support from cabinet members. Many fear that a leadership challenge could deepen divisions within the party and create wider economic uncertainty.

Protesters clashed with police in Sydney, resulting in 27 arrests amid tensions over Israeli President Herzog’s visit.

Tensions flared in Sydney on Thursday as protesters clashed with police during a rally opposing the visit of Israeli President Isaac Herzog. Authorities arrested 27 people, including 10 accused of assaulting officers, after crowds attempted to breach barricades near the city.

Hundreds of police were deployed to enforce new protest restrictions, introduced following recent violent demonstrations, and pepper spray was used as officers tried to maintain order. Protesters waved Palestinian flags and carried signs condemning the ongoing conflict in Gaza, voicing anger over the timing of Mr Herzog’s visit.

The unrest highlights the ongoing tensions surrounding international politics and local security measures, with authorities balancing the right to protest against public safety concerns.

Australia’s major parties restore Coalition unity after three weeks, with Nationals frontbenchers rejoining shadow cabinet and ministers pledging commitment.

Australia’s Liberal and National parties have agreed to restore their historic Coalition partnership after a three-week split, marking their second reconciliation in under a year. The deal ensures stability ahead of upcoming political challenges.

Under the agreement, Nationals frontbenchers will return to the shadow cabinet by March 1. This move signals a return to unified leadership as both parties aim to present a stronger front in parliament.

As part of the compromise, three senators who broke party solidarity during a recent vote face a six-week suspension. All shadow ministers will also sign an agreement to uphold cabinet unity and prevent future splits.
