This is so predictable & still fails to address continuing US "lawmaker" support for so-called "settlers" stealing land, destroying property, maiming & killing those who don't adhere to their extremist interpretation of a "faith" in which none of this is condoned www.irishtimes.com/politics/202...

Oh wow, on #r4today Badenoch claiming they can / will scrap the TCA with the EU because it will make scraping the #ECHR in that context irrelevant & she’ll “discuss” all of it with NI politicians & do it anyway Supercharging the clown car idiocy of Brexit… 🤔

Desperately sorry for Moody & his family on this devastating news Watching Rugby League on Saturday & how it has become even further combative in recent years, made me wonder how many more players we’ll see in coming years diagnosed with MND while RFU, IRL et al debate the possible causes 😡

You have to feel sorry for poor Sofie. They're all at it now @rafluton.bsky.social

The lazy political solution for everything that doesn’t fit in the “too difficult for now” bucket

This is stupid Support for PA as an entity takes focus away from ethnic cleansing & genocide of Netanyahu & his murderous IDF & so-called settlers In light of recent Manchester attack & extreme right wing plotters it’s also a stupid distraction for the police www.theguardian.com/world/2025/o...

With the Tory conference starting shortly, here are 3 parody speeches from the past. First, Rowan Atkinson. youtu.be/YaGdwfykYGY?...

“Tony Blair will bring peace to Palestine” claims rep.

The dogs in what's left of Gaza's streets know the Trump / Netanyahu scheme is a scam whose strategic intent is ethnic cleansing at best Trump's interest is a Peace prize & Netanyahu's is to stay out of jail, eliminating any opposition in the way Both aims are at odds with those of Palestinians

"Leprechaun!" "Overrated!" “Take out the Irish trash!” I'd always hoped NY golf "fans" could rise above the increasing racist demeanor of US sporting occasions. Sadly even the Ryder Cup is not immune @moiradonegan.bsky.social www.golfdigest.com/story/ryder-...

Looking forward to watching the #WRWC matches today. A win for rugby whatever the result #RWC @talkrugbyunion.bsky.social

It would be great if #Ryanair came to the realisation one day that their passengers aren’t just cabin baggage But for the mainstream media to assume all state pensioners are digitally dim & incapable is simply demeaning www.birminghammail.co.uk/travel/ryana...

For #bbc UK news, #refuk intellectual giant Danny Krueger relaying his master’s voice is more important than this👇 #bbcqt Funny old world init? Ex-Reform politician admits Russia-linked bribery charges www.bbc.com/news/article...

It's IMO striking that the actual case that the UK should join its European peers and have a proper, free and universal ID card all involves things that improve the lives of the people who actually voted Labour in 2024, who are of course inferior to people who voted Labour in 1979.

When the President uses federal law enforcement for his personal revenge, it puts all of us in danger.

If Keir Starmer (or anyone else) is looking for a few words to counter idiotic GBeebies questions on whether UK is still a “Christian country”, he could try: “Love thy neighbour” 💚 It’s not difficult www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Is it really *that hard* to say that it is totally morally wrong to say to people who have come here legally, worked, paid taxes, built their lives here, contributed to Britain, that they have to fuck off now, rather than "unfunded".

Kate O’Connor and Cian McPhillips begin new chapter in Irish athletics history

The #WRWC 🏉 has been a brilliant example of sport & sports-womanship (🙄) But the disparity between professionals & amateurs has been stark; highly skilled teams being overcome by the sheer heft of a professional team Canada’s team needed crowd funding to take part; let’s hope rugby wins next week

Wonderful to read the long list of top US companies which rely on H-1B visas, finally beginning to understand how neither Licknuts nor Trump have a clue what they’re doing

Robert Redford playing a gentle incarnation of death, coming for a frightened old woman in The Twilight Zone episode "Nothing in the Dark" (1962). An extraordinary performance then, terribly bittersweet today

On #r4today they played out to a beautiful choral performance from the BBC Proms on Saturday For some peculiar reason it reminded me of opening to this moment from 1994 when Irish Dance was shaken to its core (in a good way) youtu.be/zy79KKpQ988?...

'There is nowhere in the Bible where we are taught to honour evil and how you die does not redeem how you lived. You don’t become a hero in death when you are a weapon of the enemy in life' – Rev. Howard John-Wesley on Charlie Kirk. Powerful and necessary.

“We shouldn’t speak ill of the dead” as my mother would say; but there are always exceptions…

Often conveniently overlooked how Afghanistan was given up to the Taliban by Trump 1.0 which makes this travesty of betrayal inflicted on the most defenceless population on the planet even worse If hell existed there’d be a special place reserved for Trump, Musk & their sycophantic groupies

No argument how Mandelson should never have been brought back as US ambo. But it's really hard to take Trott seriously Shadow education secretary Laura Trott said the Conservatives would "use every mechanism that is available to us to force the truth to come out" www.bbc.com/news/article...

Elon Musk openly called for violence on our streets yesterday. I hope politicians from all parties come together to condemn his deeply dangerous and irresponsible rhetoric. Britain must stand united against this clear attempt to undermine our democracy.
