Britain was never going to replace EU monies coming here with anything close to the long-term commitment of the EU. Britain doesn’t care a jot about kids in New Barnsley or Newbuildings. belfastmedia.com/andree-murph...

This is overt racism. Full stop. There’s no ‘misinterpretation’ and no excuse. This is who he is, who he’s always been, and why he should never be anywhere near power again. And there’s a reason the tapes from The Apprentice have never been released.

Blatant racism Robust official justification of racism Gaslighting critics as engaged in faux outrage No indication to date Trump is not responsible for the posts on Truth Social The idea that republicans will be assuaged by the “staffer” line is sadly entirely accurate We live in dark days

every epstein file drop underscores how elite power operates through shared socio-economic networks, regardless of people's ideological differences, populist posturing, or public feuds

Well, that went about as well as could be expected.

Succinct, articulate and infuriatingly true. If it can happen in NI/6counties (over decades) it all too easily can happen in GB under a far right government.

@andreemurphy.bsky.social - well done for this article. If we all don’t stand up for each other’s human rights, we all soon will be told we do not have any. As the Niemoller ‘poem’ goes ‘ First they came ….’.

If you are keen on unifying the country maybe mention the disgraceful lack of voting rights of Irish citizens, living in their own country but on the wrong side of partition. And mention it often. Especially if you are a candidate 🧐

SF supporting Catherine Connolly makes sense internally as well as externally. The early momentum of leading the alternative left government needs to be reinforced if the objective of replacing FF/FG is to be realised. In that context losing would be a monumental blow to all parties. High stakes.

Only Dublin could treat the provision of public toilets as if they were being asked to land people on Mars.

An Tánaiste is giving some bold commitments today, on behalf of Rialtas na hÉireann, to our citizens in the north east of Ulster. I sincerely hope he is proved right and is vindicated. @simonharrisireland.bsky.social @cjharvey1.bsky.social @andreemurphy.bsky.social @bloodysundaytrust.bsky.social

Comber Orange Order has released a clarification which fails to understand: being an Irish republican is not only legitimate, it is noble. The Irish identity and culture is legitimate and noble. Flying the Irish flag and singing the Irish anthem is legitimate and noble. Saying other is bigotry

What is the PSNI actually for? We have to be better than this. Emma Pengelly should be standing there tomorrow and saying she will ref the first game. It is the lack of the leadership from those who are paid to do it that creates the fear and leaves good people isolated and vulnerable

The cricket club is trying its best The Orange Order has led a charge against young Gaels and the cricket club felt isolated And young people get bigotry as their example A lot to unpick here www.irishnews.com/news/norther...
