Drivers caught speeding could soon receive fines through the post without being stopped by police, as the PSNI begins trialling a new generation of laser speed cameras.

There’s no difference between men marching in white masks and men marching in white hoods. None.

@ciaraioch.bsky.social I’m trying to get in touch with you about an order. Is the email address still current?

This is absolutely terrifying The Nino 3.4 forecast temperature anomaly mean is now at 4C, when even the biggest historical super ninos have seen less than 3C I really have no idea what this is going to bring over the next 12 months, but it will be very, very, grim

What if Andy Burnham could raise £15bn – without a tax rise? There's one catch. He'd need to solve the UK’s biggest and least-discussed tax problem. Almost half of all small business corporation tax isn't being paid - and nobody knows why. Thread:

Remember, during today's literal cage match on the White House grounds: No matter what, it's not his house. It's our house. Get a hat, coaster, or sticker to support groups and candidates who will respect the form AND the function of the people's house. shop.onwardtogether.org/collections/...

The hospitality industry wants their VAT cut to 10%. It will cost £12bn Who benefits? ❌ The smallest most vulnerable businesses? Nope. 45% get nothing. ❌ Consumers? Nope - prices won't fall. ✅ Nearly half the cash goes straight to large chains. McDonald's gets £400m. 🧵:

Rally in Belfast @1pm on Saturday. Together Against Hate.

Justin Webb now stating as fact that in Northern Ireland - and across the U.K. - for years people ‘have been able to come here and get access to services’ that local people can’t Is there any evidence for this? Why is a presenter on the BBC stating this as fact?

The horn of Africa is grieving because their -Their farms are no longer yielding -Advancement of desert is alarming -Our major rivers are drying -Proliferation of pest and pathogens -Development of tropical diseases. -Our crop are dieing out. Climate change is a reality.

🚨 NEW: Joint statement from Michelle O'Neill, Gavin Robinson, Naomi Long, Jon Burrows & Claira Hanna following attempted murder in North Belfast "There is no place in our society for this kind of brutality. Our immediate thoughts are with the victim and his family"

UK tax has gone up significantly over the last 25 years But the tax paid by the average UK worker has not This apparent miracle was achieved by taxing “other people”: higher earners, capital, property, banks, etc The strategy has run out of road A 🧵 on what happens next.

Delighted that my novel Prestige Drama is Book Of The Day in todays' Guardian, who call it a "brilliant, wry comedy" and "a keenly observed and snappily written debut". I'm biased but I agree, and think you should all buy several copies at once. www.theguardian.com/books/2026/m...

Farage & The Tories delivered Brexit Make them own it And yes, feckers voted for it. I don't know if folk believed the lies or wanted to. Or were wearing their exceptionalism on their foreheads🙄 But ffs you fecking damaged us & helped Putin in trying to destroy European Countries 🙄 Vote #SNP1 #💚2

In Ireland its called ‘Whataboutery’ - when you condemn a violent act & the reply is ‘but what about…’ I am against Israeli violence in Gaza & the violence of Hamas and Hezbollah. I condemn the US attack on Iran & Irans aggression against their own. And I condemn anti semitic /islamaphobic violence

We must stand in solidarity with Jews being attacked by antisemitic criminals and terrorists: no ifs or buts. We must stand in solidarity with Palestinians being murdered by the Israeli government: no ifs or buts. These are not contradictory positions. They are consistent ones. 🧵1/5

Firing and jailing RFK is the moderate position

I’m guessing, from the tone of today’s announcements, that Europe (including, if not especially, us) is about 1-2 weeks away from hitting a gap in supply.

Well worth a read…

At long last, the cover launch of my debut novel PRESTIGE DRAMA is here! It's a funny, angry book about Derry, history, memory and Troubles-scented television. I think it's quite good, however I can *confirm* that it's quite short. And you can pre-order it everywhere NOW: geni.us/Prestige_Drama

A poem for our times, by Hayley DeRoche

It continues - to describe those who continue to defend actions like this as “apologists” doesn’t seem to be enough.

My mother would have been 94 today. She believed in family, loyalty, being kind and had a sense of fun and living in the moment. She was one of the strongest women I’ve ever met (& I’m a Derry woman). I hope I’ve learnt from her. Especially when I’m panicked about a perfect Xmas. #HappyBirthday

Well done Mike Kane MP for raising the two Royal Irish Academy reports on the need for an independent North West university at the Commons Select Committee this morning. UU clearly very rattled - but their attempts to rubbish the island's top academics and Derry civic society aren't fooling anyone.

The fact that the BBC has made serious culpable errors does not negate the point that there is a real and concerted right-wing media campaign to destroy it. Both points can be true at the same time and the campaign would not end even if the errors did.

At the school gate and the conversation is about the injustice that no individual is being by held accountable for #BloodySunday. The anger at the verdict in the #SoldierF case is palpable as is the anger at the army leadership who escaped trial #SpeirGorm
