Today’s lesson is that a united Irish left can win elections and win well. #presidentialelection #Aras25

Will Heather visit the disenfranchised in the six counties during her campaign or will she be true to FFG practice of ignoring us. #aras25 #aras2025 #speirgorm

Next Irish president is a likely to preside over preparations for Irish Unity. As potentially the most important constitutional issue of their term, would like to hear candidates discuss Unity and media raise questions and issues during their campaign. #Áras25 #Áras2025 #speirgorm

British still flying reconnaissance flights over Gaza to assist Israeli genocide but deflect spotlight by going after Kneecap, who’s crime was to draw attention to Gaza. By the way Belfast is full of UVF flags but you don’t bother about that. #speirgorm #kneecap #gaza apple.news/AyWnYRItOSdO...

Yes it does. A cowardly decision by Government. #Speirgorm

All news outlets are referring to ’hostage’ release. He was a soldier in an elite military group controlling the fences of a concentration camp. #Gaza

NEW: 67% in NI and 62% in Ireland in favour of unity within the EU, however opposition to a united Ireland in the EU is higher in North (27%) compared to South (16%), while a higher proportion in the RoI (22%) say they don’t know, in comparison to 7% in NI. www.europeanmovement.ie/em-ireland-e...

The only leverage he had was to threaten to pull out of the competition. Instead, by announcing that he won’t, before even commencing discussions, demonstrates that that this is just a penurious public relations exercise. #speirgorm #eurovision #ireland

Have had my Irish passport for 51 years and still can’t vote for a symbolic President who represents the Irish nation. www.irishtimes.com/politics/202...

I love the moment where something I have a passing interest in just fully blossoms into my next obsession. #speirgorm

Good thing about RAF fly past is that it leaves fewer aircraft to airlift bombs into Tel Aviv. Interesting all these people in uniform on the balcony with high ranks, lots of ribbons and medals, who have never served anywhere in combat.

First Canada, now Australia electing centre left Governments in a snub to the politics of Trump. English Council & Bye elections however buck the trend reflecting the underlying British love of military and ‘strength’ abroad but are assured their media (and history teachers) will hide it from them.

'Galic perfidy, or the national troops attachment to their general' by Cruickshanks. #OTD in 1792 Théobald Dillon, an Irish officer in the French army, was murdered by his own troops at Tournai. #WildGeese #18thC 1/6

Irish Unity would upset stranglehold Fianna Fáil & Fine Gael have had on Politics for past 100 years. Their unwillingness to face issue is based purely on self interest and preservation of their gripe on power. It’s why Micheal Martin and vested interests like Irish Times oppose it so vigorously.

@esri.ie making the case for Irish Unity on just about every matrix.

British using their power to shape the historical record, ensuring that their version of events is the one that prevails. A demonstration that those who have the resources and influence, control the narrative.

If America thinks TikTok is too dangerous in Chinese hands because of fear of political manipulation, maybe Europe should consider X and Facebook in same light and take similar steps.

Dáil “speaking time’ row is really about FFG not wanting to admit Michael Lowry is an important and influential part of their Government. #speirgorm #ireland

A northerner should run in the Irish presidential election as a reminder of the abject failure of consecutive governments to give Irish citizens in the North a vote in presidential elections. We can run for the office of the president, but we can't vote for our president.

Yesterday, British soldiers that murdered captured IRA men at Clonoe were officially exonerated. Irish Government are still acquiescing to British power and assisting in the implementation of double standards. But then Northern Nationalists never mattered to Irish Gov. #speirgorm #ireland

As Conor McGregor wants to raise his profile as an advocate for Ireland, let’s remember the occasion he wore a poppy, an emblem commemorating the British Army. #speitgorm #ireland #StPatricksDay

Molotov-Ribbentrop 1939 Pact vibes, but substitute USA with Germany and Ukraine for Poland.

Timeline on here is full of Americans discussing “St Patty’s Day”. Does anyone know who she is? #ireland #speirgorm #stpatricksday

Should “a right berk” now be spelt ‘Burke’? #speirgorm #ireland

Weir is former RUC officer, who cooperated with producers of documentary “Unquiet Graves” covering RUC & UVF murderous campaign. He also accused British Military Intelligence of attempting to get Glenanne Gang to attack Beleeks Primary School, to massacre children. But no rush to investigate that.

Think #FantaFuhrer deserves its own hashtag.

Serving foreign stew instead of neeps and tatties? #speirgorm #ireland

Long before Zelensky’s row with Trump in the White House, an Armagh man had already told a US President where to get off! www.rte.ie/brainstorm/2...

My latest on Trump’s presidential checkmate when it comes to accountability and where that leaves us if he refuses to obey the courts open.substack.com/pub/asharang...

Northern Ireland doesn’t work. So long as principle party of Unionism engages in what is fundamentally sectarianism, it never will. Principle party of Unionism will always engage in sectarianism because reason for Northern Ireland’s existence is de facto Unionist supremacy. #speirgorm #ireland

The world is 700% richer than in 1970 but the average person is only 8% richer. Because the richest 0.01% are 4000% richer. We are all being robbed every second of every day, and it doesn't matter how much profit or growth there is. It will never reach you.

Ireland is due to spend substantial amounts on defence. It’s important care is taken on who equipment is purchased from. British have Trident missile system, costing 31 billion and further 3b annually that is serviced & maintained in USA. Are they guaranteed to get them back? #ireland #speirgorm

Looks like they’re bringing back the “Jerry Springer Show” but this time with a double act.

Control of almost all forms of information by right wing media owning billionaires is leading to a populous that will vote against its own self interests.

I’ve been contacted by someone saying this👇🏻is the bigger discussion point. And that “This is the second poll I've seen where this little nugget has been buried under the headline of how people would vote if it was today.” First screenshot from today. Second one from last year.

“41% would vote for United Ireland if vote was “THIS WEEK”. That’s without knowing the terms! What about civil service pensions, state pensions etc etc? Biggest stumbling block to UI is FFG Gov. who intentionally frustrate Unity. #Ireland #speirgorm m.belfasttelegraph.co.uk/news/politic...

Hmm, I wonder how they knew.

Listening to the BBC commentary, you would think Wales had won. #speirgorm #ireland

Caesar’s kingly ambitions were his downfall, undertaken by Senators.

As someone who lived through the “Troubles”, nothing that the British state got up to surprises. They controlled the narrative and acted with impunity. #Ireland #speirgorm

Britain is mass surveillance state that abuses human rights. Public Order Act restricted peaceful protest like Just Stop Oil Nationality &Borders Act redefined refugee & restricted asylum rights NI Legacy Act allows state forces avoid justice & hide State involvement www.bbc.com/news/article...

Irvine was pictured standing with around 1,500 loyalists in formation at a parade organised by the Shankill UVF.

Fianna Fáil have always been party of builders, developers and institutional investors. It’s in their interests -to maintain high prices by restricting supply, -maintain complicated & slow planning system, -discouraging & delay social housing. This Government has no interest in fixing housing.

GFA was basically a truce for people exhausted by war. Alliance party are a Unionist party who don’t like being called a Unionist party. Brexit changed everything. #speirgorm #ireland sluggerotoole.com/2025/02/16/i...

World order has changed totally. Thankfully Ireland didn’t join NATO but we do need a defence association of European countries by Europeans because in new world, Ireland is at risk and isolated. Believed in Irish neutrality, but regrettably it’s benefits have ended as bullies take over. #ireland
