It appears my countrymen have arrived in the Americas and culturally appropriated a statue of George Washington.

Knife attack victim Stephen Ogilvie — whose stabbing sparked two days of race-hate rioting — was previously tortured by a UVF-linked gang led by a double killer and overseen by a Shankill Butcher.

Yes!! Excellent!!

Rebecca has never read Leviticus 🤦‍♀️

I bet this hurt him more than losing the Iran war.

I know it’s a very high bar, but this is the most ridiculous thing you’ll read about today 😳

Thousands have turned out for an Anti-Racism rally in Belfast city centre, organised by United Against Racism and supported by Trade Unions

Donegall Square getting filled up nicely. A couple of fash vloggers scowling outside the Ivy.

Really important win for journalism but it’s the last paragraph that really struck me Palantir has to pay 95% of the Swiss magazine’s costs - which are $11,000 A case like this in the U.K. would cost *millions* in legal fees. Why it’s so easy for rich to suppress criticism

As emus defeated Australia algae defeats America…

What an unbelievable honour to receive an MBE! Music has been my life and I’ve been very lucky to share this journey with many amazing people and fans, and I’m very grateful for all the support along the way.

Coming together well

Hundreds of strangers in Belfast working together. Doing shopping, providing accommodation, driving kids to school, people to hospital appointments. Have just been told of a woman close to us who hasn't left her house since Monday so we'll be sorting her out today and getting her anything she needs

Sorting through my books. Amazing what you find within the pages, innit? 1995 ad for Sainsbury’s and Vodafone. Ha!

For decades, Dan Patrick has sold out the poor, the sick, and the vulnerable to enrich his donors. Love feels like blasphemy when you worship power.

Friday 12th June 2026: The Leader of the Free World has said that a deal is very close. According to him, a deal has been "close" 39 times The Leader of the Free World called the opposing party's draft deal to end the war & open me “weak & pathetic” I am still closed (in case you were wondering)

This might be hard for Americans to hear, but the USA getting humiliated by its abject failure as a power during this Iran War might be the best thing possible at this time. The country needs to understand there are consequences for electing a crook.

Biddy Baxter laughs ruefully and pours another glass of wine.

They both need to go immediately

No one who opposes justice in Northern Ireland for those killed and injured by the Brits has any chance of Labour leadership. Our armed forces cannot and should not be above the rule of law.

Don't ask me why and how I found an Austro-Hungarian rechenpfennig (counting token) in an old cupboard while cleaning.

In case you were wondering why the Belfast Pogrom is so serious …

Agreed: politics is the art of persuasion, and Labour has lost faith in its ability to make and win arguments. There's a lot of talk at present about "respecting voters". The best way to respect them is to tell the truth: to treat them as adults who can take bad news and who understand trade-offs.

Naomi Wolf's long held "Worst Take on Belfast" is truly under threat

🔍 FACT CHECK We examined a claim by DUP MLA Jonathan Buckley that people of Somali descent are more likely to commit crimes than other immigrant groups in the UK. 📊 To assess the claim, we reviewed the available data and consulted expert analysis. 👇

There was more outrage in the Qatar World Cup for alcohol being banned than there is in this World Cup for people being banned.

Always loved a bit of Hockney

The most disgusting behaviour I’ve ever witnessed in public spaces was directed at Sadiq Khan by ‘anti-Ulez’ protesters, who of course received way more coverage, much of it friendly, than the scheme’s incredible success ever will.

"30 women have been murdered in Northern Ireland in the last six years - not one road was closed, not one protest. What was the connection? They were murdered by white locals."

“People in Northern Ireland have muscle memory of violence, murder and riots in our not-very-distant past. We also have muscle memory on how to organise and help each other through.

👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

The thing is, Mahmood's policies aren't landing. They're angering unions / left of the party, they are incoherent and the public they're courting don't care/understand what is happening. Why keep her around? Tells me Burnham (team?) probably not v.good at this stuff.

To rely on AI is to subject oneself to a lifelong humiliation ritual. You must be willing to become a dogshit merchant that accepts, sells and defends dogshit.

G'night! Don't let them get you down

It’s that time of year when you’re surprised to realise that it’s nearly 11pm!

Northern Ireland, functionally, has no immigration. Net immigration last year was about 8000 people in a population of 2 million, and that was a record.
