I am both dumbfounded and a little bit envious of anyone who can allow an election to go past without engaging at all.
For so many people (41% at least) the past 3 weeks have just been normal November/December days in the run up to Christmas- bizarre #GE24

One thing that has REALLY bothered me over the past few days is the number of young men who have almost instinctively lined up behind Conor McGregor.
I have two sons and I would genuinely be horrified if they were spouting this stuff 15-20 years from now
