How does the NI Executive continue to function when the two of the governing parties voted with the opposition to remove a sitting Government Minister? Like how absolutely dysfunctional is that?

Under new head of Paramount David Ellison, the studio has drawn up a list of actors who opposed the Gaza genocide and will not allow them to appear in its films and TV shows. Does this sound familiar? Also, "Ellison is reportedly aiming to take over Warner Bros. next."

It should go without saying at this point, but everyone who has been a party to this in even minor ways should either be fired in unemployable disgrace, or imprisoned.

Decision Desk has called the New Jersey governors race for Mikie Sherill. Yet another state where millions of dollars in anti trans ads didn't work.

In New York, Cuomo got more votes than Bill de Blasio when he won and yet was roundly trounced which shows the scale of the turnout.

This was my last minute Halloween costume. I was dressed as an Irish ma in 1986 called Sarah Problem.

I find it very telling that all Harris has to say about the ongoing (it hasn't stopped) genocide in Gaza is that she's glad the hostages are home. That's it. Nothing else. This is why the Democrats lost.

Over three fucking years later.

David Lammy getting a text after PMQs today

Just a wee socialist thought for the day People on benefits should be able to spend their money on whatever they want.

Mamdani wins NYC. Progressive Democrats outperformed their moderate colleagues just about everywhere in the 2024 election. Bernie Sanders still polls as the most popular active politician in the US. THE ESTABLISHMENT: “The left can’t stop losing, centrism is the way.”

Just had a lovely woman in our shop in Donegal, searching for her lost twin sister. Appreciate it if my Irish followers would retweet this. Thank you.

Absolutely insane. Labour would have purged and smeared someone like Zohran Mamdani. Wes Streeting's politics align far more closely with Andrew Cuomo. The lessons from Mamdani are about how to defeat both the right - and the bankrupt "centre".

I passed out before this happened. Watching it now, groggy and teary. www.youtube.com/watch?v=nKco...

I hope I'm wrong but to me it's obvious that the NI Assembly is heading for another collapse.

Hilary Cass is bringing three people with her to NI to "review" gender identity services at the request of our idiot Health Minister. Tenner says it's these three luddites.

"Blood spilled in Sudan can be seen from space. Nobody can feign ignorance about what’s going on" [Guardian US]

This is very important and urgent....

Ron McDowell is the Councillor for my area. You're more likely to find him in Tel Aviv than anywhere on the Shankill road.

In Ireland queer people are being openly bashed and assaulted in the street, migrants and asylum seekers are being burned out of their homes, and the Government is doing absolutely fuck all.

Yes Geert Wilders' party lost a third of its seats, but two other far-right parties gained 21 seats in the House of Reps, bringing their total with the PVV to 53 seats for the far-right. They only need another 23 seats to form a government. This isn't a victory for liberalism, I'm afraid.

Love this juxtaposition. The tower remembers.. What Lily Allen's boyfriend did.

I know SNAP is a US welfare system but the point is the same here. You could not PAY ME to give a fuck about what people receiving state benefits spend their money on, unless they are deliberately harming someone else by doing so. Mind your own business.

This is another example of bad faith conflation of the issue of neutrality with the issue of what the correct level of funding for the DF is. The people who have set the funding for the DF for the last several decades are not lefties, hippies and peaceniks, they are Fianna Fáil and Fine Gael.

What possible benefit would there be for Ireland to join NATO? So we can officially add Dublin and Cork the list of Russian nuclear targets? Amazing, lads.

Ladies and gentlemen, the “protect women and children” brigade

Jennifer Welch on Riley Gaines: “You’re an insufferable twat. Nobody likes you and no matter what you'll always have been the dumb bitch that tied for 5th place. Nobody likes you except for the other fake Christians that enjoy their spare time watching children get ziptied. So fuck you Riley Gaines”

Multiple accounts on ICE Watch Facebook pages are reporting that agents pulled a couple out of their vehicle in Aurora, Illinois, arrested them, and then abandoned the couple’s toddler in the backseat.

FOOTAGE OF HUNDREDS OF ASYLUM SEEKERS EATING TAXPAYER FUNDED MEALS My brothers in Christ. Where do you think the salaries for civil servants, MPs, police officers, soldiers, teachers, doctors, nurses, librarians, traffic wardens, prison guards, social workers etc comes from Fucking racist cunts.

Actor Alan Cumming says trans people are ‘vilified’ to distract from politicians’ ‘screwing up’ “We make it all about them, when actually it isn't about them. They are such a tiny part of our population and they are a population that we should respect and, in this case, celebrate. “

There is no ceasefire. There never was.

Oh wow I am so shocked. Gary is usually SUCH a nice man...

A "Debate" on immigration on the Stephen Nolan show. Look at that panel. So diverse.

I thought Doug Beattie didn't believe in pronouns?

Saying that it's "too hard" to get on the Irish president ballot when an independent woman got the entire Irish left to back her, got the biggest vote ever and beat two historically dominant parties is not just wrong - it is breathtakingly offensive and outrageously dishonest. #Aras25 #Speirgorm

President-elect Catherine Connolly has pledged to be an inclusive leader and a “voice for peace”, thanking those who voted for her and those who did not. The independent left candidate won 63% in a landslide. More on #VMNews

It's important to note that in the last Irish general election, far right parties got below 4% of the entire support of registered voters. No far right candidates were able to get nominated to even run for the Presidency. The platforming of far-right voices in Ireland is deliberate.

When you’ve pissed off WeRateDogs so much they’re calling you “fucking losers” on Main you have absolutely lost all merit in the court of public opinion

On course to end new HIV cases in the UK by 2030.

Ruth Dudley Edwards doesn't like Catherine Connolly as she is "in tune with the dangerously woke youth of her country". Amazing -- you couldn't ask for a better badge of honour than RDE waking up and making Tory noises about your candidate

Didn't see Ruth Dudley Edwards at Dangerously Woke Youth in the Top Hat in Dun Laoghaire in '91 - fecking poser #Aras25

Are the revisionists okay

If I was European Stalin, I'd put every columnist like this on live telly and get them to explain what woke meant

WOKE. CULTURE WARS. CULTURE WARS.

🔴 In the past 24 hours, Gaza’s Health Ministry reported an additional 63 killed (60 of whom were recovered from the rubble) and 39 injured arriving at hospitals. This brings the recorded death toll from the Israeli genocide in Gaza to 67,869 and 170,105 injuries (likely 3-5x higher).

STEPHANOPOULOS: I didn't insinuate anything. I asked you whether Tom Homan accepted $50k as was heard on an audio tape recorded by the FBI in September 2024. You did not answer the question. Thank you for your time. VANCE: No, George, I sai-- STEPHANOPOULOS: We'll be right back

These people are a cancer and the majority of Americans are letting it metastasize -

🚨 Do ICE have MRE provisions? Oh, no. That’s a damn shame. All that income and no place to buy a meal. Hey, I know what they can eat… 1/2

“I knew that homosexuality was a sin - I didn’t want to be homosexual. I went to my G.P and said I had read Freud’s book on dreams, that I suffered from homosexuality, and that I would like to change.” My new article now out in Irish Historical Studies: www.cambridge.org/core/journal...

100s of aid trucks making their way into Gaza but Israel wasn’t using starvation as a method of war? Only sick children were dying of famine? Pull the other one. They may think that their day or reckoning for genocide is over, and we should be doing everything to ensure it isn’t
