Even her statement yesterday was met with "Got them libs" by people. The statement reads like a secondary school student making up an excuse for not doing homework.

I doubt the noise online actually translates to people on the ground though.

I cannot stand Tottenham Hotspur. I am not a person who watches football and gets too excited, but fuck me I get wound to the last by the North London Derby

For the sake of the people of Gaza, hoping this means the killing stops. I don't trust Israel to respect any deal. But it has to stop.

I also abhor using injuries as excuses for poor performances because squads should be good enough to compete if you lose some players.

Lo and behold, that's exactly what Arsenal are doing. There are injuries and blips in form for some players and we are still up there. We good.

There's so much being talked about Arsenal lately. Is there pressure on Arteta? Are Arsenal actually good? Why are they struggling?

1. We have lost once in the past 14 games on all comps. We good.
2. Arteta has dragged this club up to competing for trophies. He good.

A few mates are organizing a lads holiday in Krakow. I'm incredibly tempted to go over two days before so I can just walk around by myself. Bliss.

Israel announces closure of Dublin embassy due to 'anti-Israel policy' of Irish government Taoiseach Simon Harris said that he β€œutterly reject[s] the assertion that Ireland is anti-Israel”, adding that it is a β€œdeeply regrettable decision from the Netanyahu government”.

Don't let the door hit you on the way out.
This may actually help the government actually pass laws sanctioning Israel for it's genocide in Palestine. Too long have they talked the talk but never walked the walk, now there's little reason not to act.

Israel to close Irish embassy over 'anti-Israel policies' Israel will close its embassy in Dublin in light of "the extreme anti-Israel policies of the Irish government," Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Saar has said in a statement.

The simple truth is
Ireland has talked the talk on opposition to Israel’s genocide but actually *done* very little.

The failure to enact the Occupied Territories Bill is the biggest such failure.

And yet *still* the Israelis are pulling out of Dublin. 1/

Merseyside derby on the weekend too. Last derby in Goodison. I wonder if there'll be some mental drain on Liverpool after so many big games.

Day 3 of the Man Flu. I have given up hope. I can no longer function. There's nought left in this life other than bed and Red Dead Redemption 2.

Fianna FΓ‘il and Fine Gael never gave them the right backing to put the right policies in place. They let people think Climate Action was the problem, not Climate Change, then let the Greens take the fall for it.
Nothing shows that more than them pulling their Climate bill from the Dail.

Apologies, I'm half croaked with a flu so some things are slipping πŸ˜… I do feel like a merger is necessary for the good of the party if there is to be a path to government.

Right, the way I see it is the most straightforward route to government is Fine Gael, Fianna FΓ‘il, Greens and Labour.
An alternative is Sinn FΓ©in, Fianna FΓ‘il, Soc Dems and PBP. The left leaning support parties could be enough to temper Fianna FΓ‘il. It could require a change in the FF leadership.

There was but all of Burkes literature showed the Communist Party at the forefront and not PBP. Adjacent but won't pull in the votes needed. Sums up the problems the left is having at the moment

Galway East here and there was no Soc Dem or PBP candidate. Was pretty disappointing.

Sinn Fein top the poll. FG surprisingly high. Soc Dems done very well and probably suffered from lack of candidates. Same with PBP.

It's clear it could well be another FF, FG and GP and Labour government.

I know that's the case for posters but surely branded cars are also part of that? Or at least against the spirit of the law.

Voting today and a candidate was parked in the carpark with his car that had his face plastered all over it with, Vote No1 on it. Surely that's a breach of the rules? #GE24

It begs the question of surely I'm not the only one to have said this though? I also would never put my questions to a canvasser as it's not their responsibility to answer them so I'm not sure what else to say really.

A Fianna FΓ‘il candidate's canvasser came to the door today. I answered and told them I had nothing against the candidate, he is a good councillor, but I would never vote for Fianna FΓ‘il.
All I got was a stare for about a solid minute. It was quare awkward. Then "But he's young and passionate"...ok?

I've started listening to audiobooks in the car while driving to work. It's great for just listening to a story while doing a task, I would never listen to a book that I really want to read though. That's for 100% focus time.

I wonder if a Soc Dem and PBP merger became a reality behind closed doors and that's what spurred on the swift election campaign? Surely Sinn Fein and a collective party of left parties would walk into government if done right.
