Palestine campaigning in Ireland and the UK has badly needed more union action and collective support of workers. That’s where the most power is, not with celebrity activists; the murder machine relies on labour. Stand with this Tesco worker who refused to handle Israeli goods

For context, these were due to be published in March 2025. The NZ govt prevented their publication because they intended to ban puberty blockers and the guidelines show they are safe, effective, and standard care internationally. Today they were released in an OIA putting them in the public domain.

It looks like every Irish outlet (that I've seen so far) has just transcribed a wire services report about the Linehan trial that is *dripping* with anti trans bias, misgendering the victim, calling the teenage victim an "activist" but not Linehan, and eliding the fact that the victim was a child

A big deal. Those north-south connections on the island of Ireland continue, albeit slowly.
It has been confirmed now in a number of places (looks like the original news bulletin may have been in breach of an embargo). Dundalk to become, like Stranmillis University College, a college of Queen's University Belfast from 2026.
