Jenny Maguire: Why the left needs to park ‘woke’ and focus on housing and the cost of a weekly shop
Sequels get a bad reputation. Wicked: For Good was like a Guinness in an English pub. I guess it’s the same, but where’s the heart, and why is everyone no craic?

I wish journalists would stop treating MHR like some funny, contrarian opposition backbencher from the bogs. He is a minister of state and one of the wealthiest and most unscrupulous self serving TDs in the dail. It's just a hat and an accent!!! Look past it please!!!

An absolute must-read in today's Indo. It's striking how rare it is to hear or read the voices of trans people despite how much we hear about them and it's so wrong. The second last paragraph should also serve as a warning to us all. 🏳️⚧️
