I was delighted to show my support for MΓde at her campaign launch for the Galway-West by-election. Her passion for protecting and supporting Gaeltacht communities was especially moving. I can't think of a better successor to Catherine Connolly for the people of Galway. #spΓ©irgorm

If you have to kill a bunch of children to also kill one dictator, you should not kill the dictator.
And if you DON'T have to kill the kids to kill the dictator but kill the kids anyway...the dictator isn't the bad guy in that situation.
Just saying.

Constituencies like that go one way in by-elections, then often swing back next GE. I've seen it dozens of times. Calling everyone who voted differently "extremists" - that's the word Starmer used several times - is not just ungraceful, it is what you do if you do NOT want G&D to come back to you.

All I'm saying is that our governments have some real inconsistent views on who has a right to defend themselves. Or indeed what actions can count as self defence.
It's not surprising or new, but it's still really fucking bad.
Well, if the apocalypse is upon us, I'm going to go out on a high and make the 15 hour potatoes.
Stay tuned to see if I finish the recipe before nuclear Armageddon.
"Professor Jacob George is recused from *further* involvement on the Pathways clinical trial as a precaution.β
Am pleased they admit he was involved. But you can't cure bias after the fact and our lawyers will be writing to the MHRA about its ascientific 'concerns' about the trials.
Matt Walsh @MattWalshBlog Remember when they spent years telling us to panic over the hole in the ozone layer and then suddenly just stopped talking about it and nobody ever mentioned the ozone layer Derek Thompson @DKThomp What happened is scientists discovered chlorofluorocarbons were bad for the ozone, countries believed them, the Montreal Protocol was signed, and CFC use fell by 99.7%, leading to the stabilization of the ozone layer, perhaps the greatest example of global cooperation in history.

It's so frustrating to see yet another new record: 17,112 people, including 11,793 adults and 5,319 children accessed emergency accommodation in January, while there are over 160,000 empty houses and 20,000 derelict houses in Ireland.π‘

Ireland cannot dine out forever on the actions of our past.
If the Govt. continues to fail to meet its legal obligations to ban trade with the illegally occupied settlements, we will lose our international credibility.
