Astonishing result. Devastating outcome for Labour AND for Reform but an absolute breakthrough for the Greens, proving public hunger for decency, integrity and basic humanity in politics.

This is the most measured and important thread I've read all day

What you idiot commies don’t understand is that if we tax rich people they will JUST LEAVE, depriving our nation of tax cheats, political bribery, and national acts of perversion

John Davidson cannot control his profanity, as the show was broadcast on a delay, the BBC however could have edited this out, because they definitely edited out Akinola Davies Jr saying “Free Palestine”.

"In an interview with U2's official magazine" Exactly how far up your own arse do you need to be to set up an interview with yourself where you tell the rest of the country they're wrong?

Is cuma le do "thuaraim féin" a Mhícheáil. Is é an t-aon run atá tábhachtach ná an Comhaontú Aoine an Chéasta

Just when you think things can't get any worse, you find out U2 have released a new album 🙄

Cúchullain didn't die defending Ireland from Margaret Thatcher at the Battle Of Clontarf for you to put something other than plain, Catholic sugar on your pancakes

This is the measure of Simon Harris. Don't stand up for what's right if there's a chance it might cost you something.

1940 Irish language scif-fi book Manannán by Máiréad Ní Ghráda It is the first Mecha Robot outside of Japan and mention of a Gravity assist in fiction. It was never republished or translated.

"The rain continued. It was a hard rain, a perpetual rain, a sweating and steaming rain; it was a mizzle, a downpour, a fountain, a whipping at the eyes, an undertow at the ankles; it was a rain to drown all rains and the memory of rains." Ray Bradbury, The Long Rain.

He also never ever ever went to bat for the staff who were paid a fraction of his salary, but were stuck on his illegal ‘style’ of contract. Forgiveness requires penance.

The faction that wrecked, smeared & purged didn't do it to make Lab more electable (they'd have built on 2017 if that was the goal). No. They did it to regain control & to make sure someone like Corbyn could never happen again. And Mandelson was an integral part of the project

I'm totally pinching myself announcing this, but a film about my life journey rewilding a West Cork farm, An Irish Atlantic Rainforest, will get its first screening at the Dublin International Film Festival on Saturday the 28th of this month. Tickets are available here: www.diff.ie/programme/an...

Priest: "Do you take this woman to be your lawfully wedded wife?" Micheál Martin: "Let's not jump into a kneejerk response here, in terms of falling in love. There are many factors, elements even, to consider, in terms of commitment, loyalty, the willingness to share a life, in terms of marriage."

@rosnarun.bsky.social Tá mé dubh dóite leis an bhoc sin David. Tá sé ró-shoiléir gur amadán as Ciarraí é gan leid ar bith aige. Faigh réidh leis!!

As Trump further embraces his Mad King era, I'm looking at Europe's leaders - Starmer, Sweden's Kristersson, Ireland's Martin - and wondering if there has ever been a bigger collection of spineless, witless, more cowardly bootlickers. This is going to get a lot worse before it gets better.

Here’s a short poem about the power of poetry to change the world.

Have you heard of Palestine, Ursula? Been in the news a bit over the last few years. 👍

One reason I feel like I'm going mad is, even if Musk did immediately halt Grok and issue a grovelling apology - rather than PAYWALLING IT - he should *still* be prosecuted and his website banned. Very obviously! You don't get out of CSAM charges by just stopping. AND HE STILL HASN'T STOPPED.

Mass creation of sexualised images of children, as a paid-for feature is not quite enough for Simon Harris to decide to leave X.

Hardly needs saying but with the undressing genAI grimness, would advise anyone (particularly women) to be very slow to post photos of themselves online, and parents not to post any photos at all of their children (shouldn't anyway as kids can't consent to them being posted, but all the more reason)

Other than Wes Streeting and Keir Starmer, who thinks the best way to remedy chronic under-funding on the #NHX is to hand it over to private companies which, by law, have to prioritise profit for their shareholders over any other consideration?

The role Roe vs Wade played in the sharp decline between 1990 and 1998 shouldn't be discounted either. Another thing that would melt the heads of most Fox viewers

Ange was in the job for 6 months before he got us playing. He had the benefit of a pre season and the chance to sign some players. But Ange never changed his style. Neither does Wilfred. The only difference is Wilfried has inherited a shit show mid season

A not-so-brief summary of where we are at heading into the new year in terms of polling, with Fianna Fáil and Fine Gael trending down, an Sinn Féin and the Social Democrats trending up. Featuring analysis for every constituency, read below 👇 irishelectionprojections.com/2025/12/30/e...

A rare voice of reason amidst the hysteria

Quite a lot can be explained by the plain fact that our leaders and their hangers on are *enraged* that they can’t send people to prison for doing things that aren’t illegal, and they see this as a very serious problem that needs to be resolved, urgently.

Willie Miller said it could have been 10 and Aberdeen could have no complaints. Sensational and unstoppable were his descriptions. #CelticFC

A couple of decent strikers and we can win this league now get off the managers back and get behind the team #Celtic

The actor Michael Sheen used all his money to start a fake debt collecting business, buy 900 people in Wales's debt, and excused it. If Musk bought ALL $194 billion in medical debt in the U.S. and excused it in the same way, he'd still be the world's riches man by hundreds of billions of dollars.
