Having come as close as 4.7% to winning the mayoralty in 2021, quite bewildering why the Tories haven’t fielded a better candidate this time. Susan Hall is plainly out of her depth.

'Proponents of assisted dying...try to dismiss concerns that if the law were changed, disabled and vulnerable individuals might be coerced into prematurely ending their lives. But far from being a future theoretical concern it is real – and happening now.' theguardian.com/commentisfree/…
So Kate Forbes has 'energy and ideas' but she's 'unfit to be First Minister.' Eh? This obsession with witless ID politics and empty symbolism is the bane of devolution. Leaders should be chosen for their ideas and competence. Nothing else. thetimes.co.uk/article/2fdc8a…
Great. Even the most unenthusiastic Irish free stater will see that Irish unity is the only way to stop this nonsense. belfasttelegraph.co.uk/news/northern-…
The welcome removal of a peevish, doctrinaire restriction. theguardian.com/education/2024…
'It's the Irish government that are saying this.' 'It's British ministers that are saying this!' @tomhfh and commentator on Irish politics, Kevin Meagher, challenge each other as to who's fueling the row over the Rwanda Bill supposedly forcing migrants into Ireland.
Tories are loving this. An election year row - with the Irish to boot (!) - in order to please the base! But in Dublin it will prove that the border/partition/Northern Ireland actively damages southern Irish interests. And Irish unity is the rational, evidence-based response.

There’s a rumour that aul’ Dante’s revising and updating The Inferno. The Third Circle of Hell will now have Jim - in loincloth and wielding a trident - wanging on about the Irish border for the rest of eternity.

Initially, I assumed this was a parody of self-entitlement. Apparently its real. So, they knowingly joined a posh, elitist, male-only club then recoil in horror when its revealed to be...male only. theguardian.com/uk-news/2024/a…
The Irish government not doing itself any favours here. Micheál Martin undermining Helen McEntee's immigration figures, before referring to a treaty with Britain on handling immigration that doesn't appear to exist. irishtimes.com/politics/2024/…
So? Public opinion also overwhelmingly backs the death penalty for acts of terrorism. Legalising euthanasia inevitably sends the signal to the elderly, sick and disabled that they're a burden on society. theguardian.com/society/2024/a…
The health and social care professionals that leave dangerous paranoid schizophrenics in general circulation should be charged with manslaughter. bbc.co.uk/news/uk-englan…
This is way past ‘flogging a dead horse.’ This nag has been melted down for Prit-sticks and dog food.

We're drifting towards monumental folly. I wish as much energy went into talking about how we can improve palliative care. bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politi…
This is news management. It will be written-up in the British media as Cleverly binning her off because the Tories are not willing to countenance taking back asylum seekers. FG willing to have sand kicked in their face? rte.ie/news/politics/…
#HumzaYousaf fluent and elegant resignation speech, I thought.
Why does UVF exploitation of working-class Protestants - in this case seriously vulnerable men - seemingly never merit condemnation from unionist politicians? belfasttelegraph.co.uk/sunday-life/ne…
Just look at the paucity of thinking from Rishi's opponents. theguardian.com/politics/2024/…
None of the main Irish parties is getting this right. Bare minimum needs to be: Immigration at this pace and scale is a problem. 3/4 voters think it’s gone too far. It has. A small country cannot absorb 1 in 5 of its pop foreign-born without changing at the molecular level.

'Philby would become the most famous of the Cambridge spies. But if Blunt really was Josephine then that not only places him as the most important member of the group, but arguably the most influential spy in history.' Fascinating. thetimes.co.uk/article/anthon…

Irish Times: Ireland should have told the ECB to ‘bugger off’ during bailout talks, Varoufakis says. He believes Ireland was bullied into bailout, Greeks pay German prices on Bulgarian wages, and the global economy has moved into technofeudalism irishtimes.com/business/2024/…
I note the UK Brexitards are back to "let's use Ireland to punish the EU for our stupid decisions".. One thing to be said is the Brits never miss an opportunity to punish Ireland for kicking them out of Ireland.
Today, Wednesday, May 1st, 2024, will live forever in infamy as the day the British government erased history and abolished justice for victims rather than disclose the truth. The Northern Ireland Troubles (Legacy and Reconciliation) Act 2023 is indeed the #BillOfShame
1st May 2024. The day justice was assassinated in Northern Ireland by a Government for self-gain. That’s how history will view this day. It will be unkind to this Government and it’s puppets here.
