The sooner the UK dismantles into a slew of city states and feudal idiot counties the better. Centralised power has clearly failed and the people who wield it shouldn't be trusted with playschool scissors never mind life and death decisions.

Ireland winning goal and end of match with Irish commentary

Howya lads

Like most BBC scandals, this latest one is complex, multifaceted, and, fundamentally, stupid. There's sloppy editing and feckless oversight yes, but also a congenital, masochistic inability to act affirmatively, and despite being in a time of tyrants the scandal is now the BBC using the wrong fork.

David McCullagh got off to a great start today - wit and preparation a formidable combo. Which is especially clear when your first interviewee is as big an off-the-dome gaum as Ivan Yates. He really is Tobias Funke for people on LinkedIn who drive Audis.

Eight Democrats break ranks in exchange for basically nothing, save for an assurance of a vote they'll lose because Republicans will vote in lockstep on it. This is just how US politics work and the Dems are apparently powerless to stop it. Useless priests can't say mass.

Ahh thanks pal! 😊

Thanks a million buddy!

Lads, how am I 40?!

My school friend meeting my college friend for the first time:

“[greeting in outrageous Longford accent]”

College friend to me talking out of the side of his mouth Clareman-like in outrageous Clare accent:

“Is this lad for real?”

Ah lads

Wow. A stunning thing to pull that off. Masterful tonight really. And the Oscar goes to...#TheTraitors

I'm liking Nick's roundtable clobber. I also like Alan's gear, in a Late Elvis kinda way. Joe looks like a dick. #TheTraitors

Could they not just have 100k as the prize and do something else with the challenges?

Alright my first live #Traitors of the season let's gooooo

Ireland ‘must not be seen as the easy place to get into’, says Minister Ireland will have ‘very active’ EU presidency on migration issue, says European Affairs Minister Thomas Byrne

The FFG government continues to tack to the right .. have they learned nothing from the Presidential election, chasing the far right vote is a no win situation #speirgorm

basically every 2024 truism is dead. Trump did not build a lasting multiracial coalition or turn young men into committed Republicans. You don’t need to cave on trans rights to win. The pundits have nothing left to tell you.

ah, perhaps instead of pumping millions into endless factional infighting Dem donors could invest in making local Dem organizations genuine civic spaces that can reach people during and between elections

Good things are possible and we don’t have to settle.

Delighted for Zohran and all he represents but tbqh I'm uncomfortable with an Arsenal fan doing this well.

Everything I've read and heard about Dick Cheney over the years suggests that as Ford's Chief of Staff he was a well liked and well balanced character. If anyone has a long read on him becoming The Most Evil Man On Earth I'd love to read it

Zohran, the Sickos Guy, and Tim Onion.

One last time: Every time I post it he goes up five more points.

I tell ya what though, as someone who's always looking to do more on air presenting, Cheney being asked to find a VP for Bush and then simply recommending himself is pretty inspirational stuff.

Dick Cheney is dead. He won't like that.

Many will have differing opinions about him, but on one point we can be clear: he made the world much, much worse.

I'm looking forward to his honour guard and 21 gun salute (shot into an elderly lawyer's face)

Very funny if Ivan Yates ends up being the Harry Whelehan de nos jours

thank you for all the support; the statement from our union is now live here with some more reporting.

now that this is public I can confirm that the majority of today’s layoffs were women of color. there are no longer any Black women working at Teen Vogue.

They just gutted Teen Vogue which had top notch political journalism. The media is continuing to purge any sort of political dissent to Trump and the oligarchs.

Oh god Lex that's awful, I'm so sorry. You'll be such a loss to them!
