My branch colleague has asked that I help him share his endorsement of Catherine Connolly as a disability activist. I'd appreciate you taking a moment of your time to hear his thoughts. GRMA #Spéirgorm

Heather Humphreys is a blatant liar

Heather Humphreys has spoken to the media this afternoon - and under repeated questioning, appears to contradict her quotes in the Sunday Independent.

She says she never mentioned “Catherine’s name in all of that” when talking about repossessions.

Sindo quote highlighted referencing Connolly.

Ahaha thank you! It’s not too bad really! The most excruciating part was having it fit my enormous husband, who is not only very long but also very round. In the end I just put some extra rows of pattern on the sleeves and made the button band wider. He can get thinner!

There are four barristers in the cabinet, including Jim O'Callaghan. If they had an ounce of gumption they'd speak up about the nonsense FG are sprouting. #aras25

Fine Gael have attacked politician barristers for who they have represented in the course of their legal duties before.

I'm so bored of this garbage. So bored of the government trying to say that violent football fans and zionists are the totality of jewish people, and so bored of them septupling down on the idea that disliking zionism/ violent racist pricks is any deeper than that & must be about religious hate.

Saul Staniforth @saulstaniforth.bsky.social · 2d

Phillipson: "Its unacceptable that if fans are unable to attend a match because they're Jewish that runs completely counter to everything we stand for"

Maccabi fans are banned because they're violent racist hooligans. Why are you conflating violent racist hooligans with Jews?

Share an Irish language book.

And of course, a further few seconds along…

Alan Partridge, on the phone to Lynn, saying he’s accidentally dressed as Rupert Bear.

I’m watching ‘How Are You? It’s Alan (Partridge)’, and was thinking, “why is he dressed exactly like Rupert Bear?” - then someone calls out, “All right, Rupert?” and of course, it purely for this joke.

Rupert Bear - or is it Alan Partridge?

English children’s book character, Rupert Bear is shown against a countryside background, wearing white shoes, checked trousers, a red jumper, and a yellow checked scarf.

He’s Alan Partridge in comic boo form.

The self-styled party of law and order trying very hard to undermine a load bearing pillar of the justice system is quite a sight to behold.
