Mary McCarthy: Greens pay a heavy price for doing what everybody knows deep down is right The Greens made decisions in everyone’s best interest, yet they got no electoral rewards, which is depressing now that we need them more than ever. Is public service not something people value?

I tend to agree with a lot of what is being said here. Despite their faults, especially some political naivety, essentially all they are doing is trying to prevent the world from burning.

Tommy Conlon: Strutting peacock Conor McGregor to be forever known as a generally disgusting human being Any sportsman worth his salt will always want to avenge his defeat to a bitter rival in a hyped-up grudge match, especially if the defeat comes not with honour but with unconditional surrender.

Much has been written about #McGregor since Friday. To me, this is the most brutally honest assessment of him.
