Howlin is small in stature but big politically.

Kelly? Finlay? Howlin? Rabbitte? Quinn? It would be nice to see. It hurts to see Bacik so vocal in support of Connolly. "Unity of the left" is over rated.

Ex Yugoslav teams have been deducted points over this kind of thing before. Football was important in kicking off the civil war in the 90s.

Take one day off to recognize another set of innocent victims. Makes sense to me.

There is no such power. UNSC makes binding resolutions. The GA has made non-binding recommendations only in circumstances in SC deadlock.

As Yom Kippur ends, it is terrible that a holy day has seen people killed at a place of worship in Manchester

I hope many of us will express solidarity + support for Jews in Britain, and work with them + those of every faith and none to deepen our efforts to tackle antisemitism, hatred + extremism

To everyone in Britain's Jewish Community: you are not alone.

We will not let hate or those who spread it win.

We stand with you

I didn't pick up why anyone would hate her, and so intensely. Vicious business the DJ thing I guess.

Marx himself underestimated non-material motivations.

It is hard to describe the emotion in the conference hall today as Margaret Aspinall spoke with such power and heart about her son James and all those unlawfully killed at Hillsborough

A moment no-one in that room will forget

Margaret Aspinall's powerful message to Starmer

She spoke on the main stage and introduced the Prime Minister

Inserting “Culture” Into the Culture Wars

Ideology and formal rules are less consequential than most seem to think. This matters for institutional reform.

Are you a serial student? I think I spoke at the Law Society in UCD once. You could hear a pin drop - that's how bad I was!

Very good stuff from Sadiq Khan at the Labour Irish society event. He said there are two reasons he loves coming to Labour Conference.

“One is the reception at the Labour Party Irish Society reception.

“The second is to get away from all the Sharia Law in London”

I legit think a problem on the Irish left is a failure to engage with other European leftists.

You’d see how insulting comments like these are if you’ve touched grass with socdems in Finland, Lithuania, Poland etc

Too much absorbing American leftist talking points and not enough internationalism.

Connolly seems to think the US and Russia are on a par with each other. Delusional.
