Not the same guy, you brick-brained clown. The one who came to power in 1979 died 10 years later in β€˜89.

🚨 NEW: Nigel Farage has announced Reform UK would only allow British citizens to vote in elections

If Donald Trump ever says he's doing something to help "the people"β€”whether of Iran, the US, or any nationβ€”he's lying.

He acts to help himself, his family, his business partners, potential future business partners, fellow autocrats, or the rich.

100% of the time. No exceptions.

In light of the USA's latest attempt to start WW3 and the Irish goverment's complicity for allowing the use of Shannon airport for their genocidal schemes, please stand with the peacemakers tomorrow.

Amazing vox pop on the 6 o’clock news. Woman buying fish in Waitrose: β€˜I won’t buy mackerel if it’s being overfished’. Reporter: β€˜But you’re buying it now’. Woman: β€˜Well, it’s already dead’

"Instead of working for a nice life, we're working to line the pockets of billionaires. We are being bled dry & I don't think its extreme or radical to think working hard should get you a nice life"

- Hannah Spencer MP.

You can see their problem.

genuinely tired of hearing from brain melted MPs who insist they're going to deport everyone, and ruin this family, and destroy those lives, and wreck this thing, and harass someone else. if you're not here to make things better then shut up and jump in the sea

A Tale of Two Teamsβ€”Why Trump’s Joke Wasn't Funny Locker room "jokes" contribute to a bigger problem with how women are treated.

Both U.S. Olympic hockey teams won gold. But only the men got a presidential call and celebration, while the women were met with a joke at their expense. The contrast isn’t just about sports. It’s about how respect, power, and attention are allocated in our culture.

the only thing the FAI understand or care about is money, so you'd really need to start boycotting the non-Israel games too.

They won't start with banning birth control. First they'll lie about it. Then dictate who can prescribe it, use it, fund it, in what forms, and for how long. Suddenly, your doctor won't call you back. I know this is what they'll do because it's what they're doing to transgender healthcare right now.

#speirgorm I’m looking for info. My nephew is doing an undergrad in environmental science - are there any organisations that allow students to do summer internships with them?

Volunteer Courier Do you have lots of time on your hands? Able to keep your cool in potentially stressful situations? See yourself as reliable and timely, with an ability to problem-solve? You could be our next Volunte...

Sitting behind an @anthonynolan.bsky.social volunteer courier on flight from Berlin to London - he's 70 and this is 135th trip ferrying stem cells around Europe!

Saving lives one flight at a time - very inspiring

I’m guessing the Guards are betting on somebody getting a conscience before then. Let the emails to the FAI commerce.

Did they ask the stakeholders? I don't know any fans who support this game going ahead despite any potential UEFA consequences.

I'm not sure "we'll play Israel so we don't lose 6 points & slip to Nation's League Group C" is the compelling argument the FAI think.

To clarify they're under "no pressure" from an understanding UEFA, and all thats at risk is the points, makes it easier to forfeot the game IMO.

As an FAI season ticket holder I will not be inside the stadium in October. Future season ticket purchase (after 40+ years attending) now under consideration. I'd take a 6 point deduction (and any other penalty) any time if it meant I wasn't supporting a genocide. #FAI #SpeirGorm

#Abdiwahab Ahmed: The FAI cites limited options regarding Israel fixtures. How should sporting bodies navigate such complex situations? Interested to hear your views on balancing ethics and obligations.
