This. Every single intervention I hear from Claire Hanna MP is considered, eloquent, reasonable, convincing.

My nephew, who has complicated health needs, was looked after by a Sudanese paediatric surgeon yesterday; can't speak highly enough of his kindness, professionalism and expertise.

The domestic abuse backgrounds of arrested rioters is even starker for Belfast

'Where are all these men when women are being murdered in N Ireland?' Claire Hanna SDLP www.facebook.com/stories/1010...

The horrific knife attack took place in North Belfast. The attacker is in custody thankfully. How do loyalists respond to the attack? They burn their own community in East Belfast *sigh*

Why is there a supplement craze if they don’t even work? www.npr.org/2026/06/05/n... @planetmoney.bsky.social Little evidence effective. Possibly harmful. Disagree with Marion Nestle. Supplement industry exploitive & normalizes health misinformation. Placebo effects can't justify this BS.

We can't look away from the images of families fleeing burning houses without calling this out as a pogrom, whipped up by influential actors who care nothing for the people of Belfast: www.irishnews.com/news/norther...

This one. Nae riots. www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2026...

Sarah Montgomery too 😡 www.google.com/url?q=https:...

Just for reference. Armstrong killed 2 individuals in Belfast about 10 years ago. He almost decapitated one of his victims with a samurai sword. Not a lot said about it.

How many women in Northern Ireland have been stabbed to death in the last few years without loyalists needing to riot over it?

“His is a special kind of loathsomeness: a blend of historical deafness, grotesque stupidity, and comically ludicrous self-importance. As if the little people’s rage against immigration somehow is superior to the war with the Third Reich and entitles this comic-book nobody to lecture actual heroes.”

🔥 🇬🇧 @mrjamesob.bsky.social on Trump’s ‘Meet The Press’ tantrum: “ABSOLUTE MELTDOWN… his own relationship with his own lies is what came to light in that clip, and the fact that it is so fragile. He knows the most cursory scrutiny can make the whole thing come tumbling down.”

Ossoff: "While you pay more for everything, Donald Trump wants your tax dollars for what many are calling the Jeffrey Epstein Memorial Ballroom."

Enten: "So fewer Americans think it's acceptable to put President Trump's name on government buildings right now than believe that the earth is that or the moon landing is fake"

‘Moral bankrupts’: Pirlo and Materazzi provoke fury by attending ‘Football Day’ in Russia

Donald Trump has decided to use his DOJ lickspittles to try to intimidate an 82-year-old woman whom he owes $88.3 million after a trial jury found he sexually assaulted her three decades ago. www.nytimes.com/2026/05/27/u...

A President ordering the Justice Department to criminally investigate a woman who won a sexual assault lawsuit against him makes Watergate look like an unpaid parking ticket.

Badger used to call every night, and we became quite comfortable with each other; but haven't seen him since this time last year

This is so sad. “Nights are the hardest. “I can’t sleep because of our own situation,” Ms. Uccello, 49, said over coffee on a recent afternoon. “I can’t sleep because of what I know what’s happening around the world. I can’t sleep because my former colleagues and friends are also suffering.”

If the swelling profits of the pharma industry, with no related rise in benefits, weren’t problematic enough, the wellness industry—selling health/wellbeing products to pple who are well + don’t need them—is worth ~3 x value of the pharma industry. www.bmj.com/content/393/...

Father of the Bride #Jaipur Incredible few days

The more things change, the more they stay the same—cynical old men suckering gullible and vulnerable young men into doing their dirty work for them. happening in #Iran now, I saw it for years in Northern Ireland. Farrell, Liam. Are You the F**king Doctor?:

Dealing death is much more antiseptic when you are thousands of miles away; you don't actually understand what it is you do, see a young man's head exploding, smell burnt flesh, comprehend the thousands of individual tragedies. Farrell, Liam. Are You the F**king Doctor?
