FIFA made plenty of promises about the treatment of migrant workers during the 2022 World Cup. But they simply haven't delivered.
We've been on the ground, where workers are telling stories of exploitation by On Time Express.
Here's Lamin's story:

Absolute disgrace.
Today, alongside former security guards from the Qatar World Cup, we met with the Minister of Overseas Pakistanis for one clear demand: #PayUpFIFA📢
Hundreds of workers who made the tournament possible are owed thousands, if not millions, in compensation. For what exactly?🧵1/2

A pleasure to speak today at the FM's anti-poverty summit and to see so many friends and fellow fighters to poverty reduction in Scotland.
Great to see so many political leaders there too - time to be brave.
The text of the speech I gave is here.

"American Girl in Italy" (1951) is one of the most iconic photos of all time.
It tells a powerful story and raises big questions: is it a staged scene? were these men harassing the girl?
I'm going to tell you the true story behind this photo 🧵👇

This is my son Charlie, he's 15. It's important that everyone understands he isn't a ref, he's a child who chooses to ref. If he refs your game, please treat him how you would want your child to be treated. I'm so proud of him. Charlie's Mum ❤️ – at South Shields, England

Had a great time @LGBTCentreMcr today, running #mediatraining through @Media_Trust for @justlifeuk in Manchester. A lot of fun and everyone learned something.

My personal experience of being blown away by Southgate’s fine young men.

@CarrieBrownTV recounts a heart-warming story from her time with the @England camp involving @sterling7, @trippier2 and her parents.

Forget Diego Forlan’s free kick against Ghana in the South Africa WC. Forget Benjamin Pavard’s Wonderstrike against Argentina in the Russian WC. Forget England's Road to Glory… There are more important World Cup Stories to tell… Here are the REAL stories behind this World Cup…
Gareth Southgate sets a great example here... if he can keep it together after getting knocked out of the World Cup, the rest of us should be capable of not falling out over u9s, u10s, u11s... football.
