Will UK Chancellor redistribute? End two-child benefit cap, cost £3bn-£3.6bn. Abolish VAT on domestic fuel, cost £2.5bn. Increase income tax personal allowance by £1000, cost £8.4bn. Taxing capital gains at same rate as wages, generates £14bn+ more in NIC. Another world is possible.

Nature: Winter is a time of slowing down, resting, conserving energy and recovering for the year ahead Capitalism: NOW IS THE TIME TO SELL SELL SELL, EXTENDED OPENING HOURS, CHECK OUT OUR SALES, BUY EVERYTHING WE SAY YOU NEED FOR AN ELABORATE LABOUR-INTENSIVE FESTIVAL, WORK YOURSELF TO THE BONE

I was reading a book the other day and the author threw in a passing mention to a bridge in Cork, Ireland which I’m pretty sure was a gift to me personally because what do you mean the locals have called it The Shakey Bridge for so long that recent conservation works were forced to retain the wobble

My mother saved for years to go to Corfu she didn't get charitable status for it.

Dr Orla Kelleher pushes back against the narrative that judicial reviews are to blame for the housing crisis.

Home Office: How dare people say we are acting like the far-right? Also the Home Office: These far-right graphics look great, let's copy them.

There has literally never been a universal basic income trial program that didn't deliver real and measurable results above and beyond any other form of social welfare, and every time another concludes with the same findings the powers that be go "interesting! Anyway," and pretend it wouldn't work.

Kathleen Stock has written an article against "abortion permissiveness". She claims abortion requires "justification" saying the state should limit "unacceptable decision-making" by women about their own bodies. This is who anti-trans activists proclaim as the feminist thought leaders of our time.

I often wonder if my kids & I should be counted in these statistics. When I couldn't find anywhere to rent my kids had to move in with their grandparents & I moved into a friend's spare room as a temporary measure. I'm still here over a year later - because there's nowhere affordable to rent

While it feels like I'm repeatedly slamming my head against a brick wall repeating this massively simple concept. Saying "Reform would be worse" doesn't make what Labour is doing better. Labour is now the most anti-immigration, anti-any marginalised group, government we have seen in decades. 1/

The @irishlegal.com report on this case (DE (A Minor)) is a bit clearer than the irishtimes report. www.irishlegal.com/articles/hig.... The judgment is also available at courts.ie (In the matter of DE (A Minor) [2025] IEHC 604). As others have noted, there are some points of concern here:

Judicial reviews are very often the last resort local communities have in defending nature against greedy corporate interests + rotten planning. The gov. wants to undermine that via false blame for the housing crisis, etc. Must read by @attractaub.bsky.social www.irishexaminer.com/opinion/comm...

The misinformation and lies about access to justice extends to criticising an access to information case about a wind farm whose planning permission was allowed expire by Coillte. Yet another article where lies are presented as facts and the people involved ignored

When Tommy Robinson is celebrating your policies it is time to take a long hard look in the mirror and then quit politics forever.

We need to get rid of the 12 week limit to abortion access for many reasons. But forcing a teenage asylum seeker who is having mental health problems, possibly due to being pregnant, to go to court to access care is abhorrent www.irishtimes.com/crime-law/co...

The pandemic was a mass-disabling event and one of the reasons it has largely vanished from day to day political discourse is that those in power don't want to acknowledge the long term care needs it produced.

Zohran is stone cold man. Putting out an ad in Arabic after all the Islamophobic shit that’s been thrown his way? Pure swag. Dems don’t need to copy his politics or even necessarily his campaign strategy, they need to learn how to grow a fucking spine.

Their Facebook page says that the Taoiseach’s officials promised them a mediation meeting on Monday. It has now been postponed to Wednesday. They have now been on hunger strike for over 40 days. This is an appalling way to treat people.

We're seeing a massive institutional deportation and state violence apparatus being built and it honestly feels like people dont grasp the sheer scale of it and what already is in place. For every horrific video of masked feds kidnapping people there are so many people pushing paper to help.
