Gardai forcibly removing mothers protesting against genocide at the Dáil.

What an ugly, ugly, person.

Elaine, get a fucking hold of yourself.

Xavier transitioned and became Vivian Jenna Wilson. She is alive and well and lives in Japan.

No loving parent would ever write such a disgusting thing as this, and it speaks volumes.

They didn't just die though. They were murdered.

@carlkinsella.bsky.social made a really important point on @louisemcsharry.bsky.social’s Catch up podcast this morning, about how the cynicism in US politics emboldens our own politicians to pull this crap. The influence can’t be overstated or ignored and if they get with it, what next?

Incredible stuff. Huge congratulations. Doing the lord's work!

Unsubscribed -it was the last bit of the Bezos empire I reluctantly supported, (never use Amazon) as it had (until now) some great news reporting-but him dictating the content of the opinion section is a death knell of independent journalism-all has changed! www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Thanks! You too!

I take it back. My apologies. I actually thought you were the official Prem account. I hate it when giant corporations make their accounts sound like actual people. That isn't you. My bad!

Unfollowed.

The acts of an innocent state with absolutely nothing to hide.

Thousands of landlords face fines of up to €15,000 for illegally increasing rents in fresh crackdown RTB data identifies 16,000 ‘tenancies of concern’ with rent rises above 2 per cent

Finally the RTB is taking some action against landlords who break the rent pressure zones. What is the response of the Taoiseach? Float the scrapping of the rent pressure zones!

We need proper rent controls to bring rents down.

Absolute snake.

Lying sack of shit.

Paul Merson has mentioned that Harry Kane has a buyout clause in his contract in the region of £60 million. Would/should Arsenal be tempted to bring him back to the Prem to take us to the next level while allowing him to try beat Shearer's record? Do you think he'd actually consider it?

This week’s column. Some (not all) of the coverage I have seen of Myles Lewis Skelly over the last 10 days or so has bothered me. It’s clear many of us are still not mindful enough and do not take due care with language and framing when it comes to talking about black footballers 👇🏻

Urgh!

Firmly think we need to upgrade the "boycott the White House on St. Patrick's Day" campaign to "we will wait for your return on the tarmac of Dublin airport, wielding hammers".
