I don’t want Mandelson anywhere near anything, he’s always been a wrongun , but if you applied the dodgy friends rule to either house there’d be about 20 of them left. I’m not even entirely sure Harriet would still be there

Of all the great names for Trump, and there have been many, Bigly Brother is the best.

Well, I won’t be reading this absolute tripe on behalf of the queer people who were tortured, the young women who were locked up, the women who died giving birth, the people excluded from jobs, condemned to unhappy marriages, forced into exile, hounded from public life, shamed from towns…

Breda O'Brien: Nobody can claim the decline of Catholic influence has led to a happier or healthier society

The liberal left has become the comfortable voice of the establishment, but this is far from the progressive utopia we were promised

I couldn’t wait for Starmer to become PM and now I can’t wait for him to go. Now Rayler was been dragged down, the only rescue from the clutches of Farage is somehow to get one of the three outstanding mayors, Khan, Burnham or Tracy Brabin into parliament and become leader.

I think there are still some tickets available for the last Vicar St show tomorrow night (Sunday) and there probably won’t be another chance to see Riot at home in Dublin for a long time

What a shot of sheer joy Riot is. Part comedy, aerial show, political pulpit, circus… and a mankini. Full of heart, energy and craft. Ends tomorrow - well done @pantibliss.bsky.social @thisispopbaby.bsky.social @emmetkirwan.bsky.social Lords of Strut, Omar Cortes Gonzalez, The Sirens, Up & Over It.

Saw ‘Riot’ last night at Vicar Street. Wildly entertaining, a circus for grownups! Specifically Irish too. Highly irreverent, hugely relevant to our times. @pantibliss.bsky.social & @emmetkirwan.bsky.social on top form. Plus AMAZING sean nós dancers!

Everyone wants to get their sweaty mitts on a Riot ticket so they’ve released all the production/house seats for tonight and tomorrow, so… first come first served!

Criticism of Netanyahu not anti-Semitism - President

President Michael D Higgins has said accusations of anti-Semitism against those who criticise the policies of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu amount to "slander against Ireland".

She was well beaten in the 2020 primaries and lost to Trump. There has to be a better candidate.

The Trump Administration Accidentally Texted Me Its War Plans

U.S. national-security leaders included me in a group chat about upcoming military strikes in Yemen. I didn’t think it could be real. Then the bombs started falling.

Just in from mammoth interview session to two bits of news. One that a DV perp got locked up because of something I did and that a vulnerable constituent had a a massive wrongful debt written off after our intervention. This is why I came to politics, this is why I'll just keep cracking on.
