A school girl is killed by the israelis on her way to sit her final exams: 5 people are transferred to Al-Shifa Hospital in Gaza injured by the blast

A Zionist airstrike has just targeted a densely populated area in Gaza City, murdering a teenage girl. We are dealing with monsters.

Am I the only person who thinks its beyond weird to hear commentators saying the handover to #Burnham should be made as quickly as possible, to a man who isnt a sworn in MP yet, that members haven't voted for, & with absolutely no domestic/foreign policies announcement... 🤔

Make this so: privatisation lined the pockets of the wealthy elite, but fleeced the rest of us. It was a scam, and the people who promoted privatisation, including Margaret Thatcher, lied to the public about "efficiency gains"

This map shows Switzerland’s four national languages without the uninhabited high mountain areas. Suddenly the country’s linguistic geography makes more sense: German dominates the north and centre, French the west, Italian the south, and Romansh survives in pockets of the east.

The scaffolding wrapped around the Four Courts dome for nearly a decade is finally coming down, revealing the results of the €11 million conservation of James Gandon's neoclassical masterpiece! In 2011 masonry fell from one of the dome's 24 Corinthian column capitals. First major scaffolding went up in 2015, and by 2021 the shocking scale of the problem was clear. Many of the columns capitals were in distress, and extensive stone and roof works were needed. The root cause was the Civil War bombardment of June 1922. The Four Courts came close to actually getting demolished afterwards. Thank God principal architect TJ Byrne persuaded WT Cosgrave it could be saved. Byrne's solution included a new reinforced concrete dome poured in a near continuous 36 hour operation, replacing Gandon's original timber roof, along with a giant steel band belted around the drum to prevent the walls spreading under the weight. That 1920s fix created the current problem. The steel band unintentionally turned the 24 column capitals into load-bearing elements, placing pressure on their delicate carvings. Falling masonry required repairs as early as the 1940s, and again in the 1960s. The restoration work involved removing each capital individually for inspection. Irish Natural Stone, based in Co Clare, won a Europe wide tender to carve 22 of the 24 capitals, each consisting of two stones. The old steel band has been replaced with a stainless steel version clad in hand shaped Portland stone. Buy the Dublin Time Machine a pint and support the DTM Book ko-fi.com/buchanandublin…

Brexit 10 years on Northern Ireland’s emerged as a winner, Britain has suffered most and Irish trade holds up belfasttelegraph.co.uk/business/north…

Across Britain right now, farmers are shearing their sheep, bagging up the wool, and burning it. Some bury it. Some leave it to rot in a corner of the field. The wool-burning has made the odd headline as a protest, but the truth is duller and sadder. The fleece is worth less than the diesel it would take to haul it to the depot. The numbers are grim. In recent years a kilo of British wool has fetched somewhere between twenty and sixty pence, and hill breeds like Swaledale and Welsh Mountain sank as low as ten. A whole fleece off a mountain ewe might bring thirty pence. Shearing that same ewe costs the farmer around two pounds. One Lincolnshire farmer added it up out loud: over three pounds to shear and cart a single fleece to the depot, and twenty-six pence back. So she burns them. A great many do. Here is the part that stings. The shearing still has to happen, every year, whatever the wool will fetch. A sheep left in full fleece overheats, struggles to move, and gets eaten alive by maggots. So the job carries on purely as welfare, a cost the farmer simply eats to spare the animal, with the wool itself going on the fire straight after. And think about what this fibre once was. For centuries wool was the engine of the English economy, the country's greatest export and the crown's main source of tax. It raised the soaring wool churches of the Cotswolds. It turned merchants into princes. To this day, whoever presides over the House of Lords sits on the Woolsack, a literal cushion of wool, put there in the fourteenth century so nobody would forget where the nation's wealth began. Prices have lifted off the floor this past year, the first real relief in a long while. It still does not cover the shears for a hill farmer. The fibre that built England now smoulders in a heap behind the barn, and almost nobody notices the smoke.

This is called propaganda awareness. Kudos to Aidan!

Private equity has devoured UK town centres. It controls airports, seaports, hospitals, care homes, football teams, housing, GP surgeries, vets, dentistry, pubs, restaurants, energy, water and more. Everything financialised. What future for the UK? leftfootforward.org/2026/06/the-fi…

There never was a Keir Starmer. Such a person hasn't existed in decades. There is no 'Andy Burnham' either. Banks, corporations and special interests rule through manikins: dolls with no human traits or personality. They are elite humanoids, used as props, tasked with overseeing the status quo. Canada's Carny and Australia's rotating idiots, or Greece's: they have absolutely nothing to do with representation or an intelligible set of principles. The West never stopped being feudal

Someone got a call from Netanyahu.

The poor are means tested. When do we start Greed testing the obscenely wealthy?

How Mozart sounds on cembalo? He played 9 Mozart songs on the harpsichord. The 18th century piano. This was the sound that was heard at the time.
