Because, he’s obviously the most qualified person to know this!! If I wasn’t so disgusted I might be laughing- probably not though!

Don’t know what he’s going to say tomorrow but the PM needs to be utterly transparent and totally comprehensive in his briefing I’m still willing to give him and his government the benefit of the doubt, but only just! www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

I think she’s confusing him with member of her own party!

That the Iranian regime is toxic and repressive is something that is well established. But America, and not Iran is responsible for the economic crisis the entire world is facing as a result of trumps unilateral action Even if peace resumes, Trump will deserve no credit whatever!

There are no good guys in these Middle East conflicts Only bad The UN is trying to protect civilians who are all caught in the middle-as usual!

When civil and public servants make the rules up as they go along, this is what you get. It’s not just a disservice to the government, it is a huge betrayal of the people www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Words are powerful; images are powerful! Combined together they can be a force to be reckoned with. Why then, is this image the one the BBC chose to accompany the article. There are numerous others they could have used ! www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

The gap between the reporting on BBC (one of my “go-to” news sources) and the reality of the real world impacts from these three heinous regimes actions in the Middle East is breathtaking www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/cq...

I get the feeling that Trump watches too many Marvel movies Israel banned from bombing Lebanon, Trump says www.rte.ie/news/middle-...

I certainly don’t think he should yield to her calls; given the catastrophic mess the Tories left behind them But, if as he says, the PM was not told about Mendelson then there needs to be a full public enquiry into the role of the civil service! www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/cn...

I have little doubt that the PM didn’t lie! He doesn’t need to. That’s how the system is designed. The fact remains that Mandelson was appointed when he plainly should not have been What’s not acceptable is that they treat us like useful idiots. www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/cn...

This is the very last thing our country needs right now! Two pro-Government Independents refuse to declare support www.rte.ie/news/politic...

This challenge to the government is idiotic and nonsensical Opposition parties would do well to remember who has caused this global problem Please tell me I don’t need to say it! All major routes clear following earlier disruption www.rte.ie/news/ireland...

I think one message from Hungary might be that people wish to live in peace with each other and with the world. Ideologically driven conflicts, do nothing for ordinary citizens and serve only to make the rich even more wealthy and powerful www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Yet another line this idiot has crossed. Whatever its faults America always stood as a kind of beacon Not any longer!!! Trump attacks Pope over criticism of Iran war www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

No!!! There’s been quite enough time to scrutinise this legislation and employees can’t always be the ones carrying the can! The constant blackmail of jobs creation is jaded and unfair Business leaders urge Stormont to delay workers' rights reforms www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

This is a step in the right direction but it feels a little piecemeal The simple truth is that Brexit was wrong and not fit for purpose www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

It’s worth remembering that the chaos around the world of the last number of weeks began AFTER the US left talks with Iran which reputable reports said had been going surprisingly well. Now individual governments have to try to pick up the pieces. Thanks America! www.rte.ie/news/ireland...

Is this what sovereignty looks like? www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

This is now getting out of control and proportion. The point has been made loud and clear. People should really go home now. Why did fuel blockade remain despite Government meeting? www.rte.ie/news/2026/04...

He’s probably right. Thanks a mill Don!!! www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

One thing is certain. Everyone needs to be very cautious about who they vote for. Anyone spouting ideology should be treated with extreme caution. Remember, the only tool we have is the VOTE!! www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

This intervention seems incredibly ill-advised. The people protesting are full-grown adults. Many run businesses Saying they are being manipulated is insulting and offensive Stop treating people like children and engage!! www.rte.ie/news/ireland...

I can never and have never been able to work out why governments are reluctant to meet with protesters Talking costs little but time. Army to be deployed, gardaí in 'enforcement phase' www.rte.ie/news/2026/04...

This constant needling by by one country against another, as is the case here with Russia carrying out ridiculous spying is the stuff of the playground. Only these are adults with real weapons. There must be a better way to conduct international relations. www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/cg...

Israel and the world would be better off if he was no longer in power www.theguardian.com/world/2026/a...

It’s imperative that the protest themselves don’t become the problem everyone needs to focus on The Taoiseach has a point ! Whitegate blockade 'act of national sabotage' - Martin www.rte.ie/news/2026/04...

Not sure what the government is going to do, BUT it’s imperative they don’t go threatening people with the law! People are quite within their rights to protest and protest is supposed to be disruptive

The BBC seems to be bending over backwards to try to put a benign veneer on trumps genocidal threat. It is neither correct nor is it helpful if Putin or some other “non-western” leader uttered those words the entire world would be aghast! www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/c5...

This is yet another despicable act by the toxic Iranian regime The result of the current spate of wars is that the right-autocratic governments are becoming established like never before Iran wartime executions mount with protester's killing www.rte.ie/news/world/2...

Once again the government conflates disabilities into one homogeneous category in an unjust attempt to reform welfare Victorian moral judgement is never far from UK government policy!! www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Every single person, regardless of culture or beliefs should be very concerned at how international law has been made irrelevant and redundant by Russia, America, Israel and Iran The power of the veto has wrecked the standing of the UN and has removed protections. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...
