Joe Brolly makes a crude sectarian joke about Heather Humphreys in his latest podcast, apparently; I am neither disappointed nor surprised.

The widespread criticism is welcome, but I wonder where it was when the podcaster has mocked wc loyalists, ridiculed Ulster Scots identity and language, and asked why all Protestants “relished genocide”

Thon podcast footage is disgusting. And people wonder why women feel deterred from entering public and political life here.

This epitomises Starmerism for me.
Scrapping an investment that's proven to reduce reoffending to generating short-term cash while ballooning long-term *cost* (and harm). Prioritising their own individual power and careers over the actual wellbeing of the country they're supposed to be governing.

Tribute to trailblazing Irish human rights defender, Conor Gearty
At IHREC we work towards a society where everyone’s human rights are respected, and equality is more than a promise.
I had the privilege to ask some questions to Prof Gearty about anti-terrorism legislation, and the human rights concerns arising from the 2023 Legacy Act, at the Liverpool Summer School on CoE law last year. This is such sad news. What a loss.
