At a time when some are turning in on themselves – Ireland will continue to engage and to look outwards.
I was delighted to speak to the Global Ireland Summit and to see so many leaders drawn from every section of our society gathered together to discuss our country’s place in the world.

This wretched coward should live his remaining days in fear over his refusal to stand up to the genocidal Israeli regime.

I can't find any posts on Bluesky about how the most prominent police force in the United Kingdom is trying to root out Freemasons in its ranks in the year 2025 and that feels like an oversight

![Post on X/Twitter from the Metropolitan Police:
"We will robustly defend our decision to require officers and staff to declare if they are Freemasons.
Our response to the decision by the Grand Lodge of England to seek an injunction blocking the implementation of the policy is below."
[Statement in image form]
"Two thirds of officers and staff surveyed agree that this policy is needed. We think the majority of the public would also agree
There have been calls going back a number of years for the role of Freemasonry in policing to be properly addressed, including as a recommendation in the report of the Daniel Morgan Independent Panel
We strongly believe that failing to act on these calls would further damage trust not only among the public but also other officers and staff
Victims should be able to know that when they report allegations to us, the officers investigating have been transparent about any potential conflicts of interest.
Similarly, officers and staff should be able to know that when they report wrongdoing by colleagues it will be investigated on its merits with no opportunity for secret loyalties to play any part
We must prioritise the maintenance of vital trust and confidence over any organisation's desire to maintain secrecy](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:3h6xtls7ue7q7hlmwb77ukjw/bafkreie6eeblcdwh5jfgsqvbngmxnfi46ytyuhcayvf7ihhcetch3rwql4@jpeg)

I expect to see the likes of Independent Ireland or Aontú to start cozying up to FFG soon, or visa versa.
If SF start warming to FF after MM goes, be under no illusion that it's a power play & all their talk of being against 100 years of the civil war parties was raiméis.

The SocDems can't fund public services while aligning with parties that privatise them and cut taxes to bribe the electorate.
FFG are the antithesis of every left party's values. Anyone who tells you that it makes sense to align with them is interested in power - not values.

Agree that left parties need to think long rather than short term.
We can, at the very least, leave things better than we found them for the next generation, rather than doing the same things that keep FFG in power over and over again.

I don't disagree that SF are not left and will undermine the left credentials of a coalition. All the more reason the true left parties need to stop self-imolating every time they get anywhere near 10-15 seats. We need to be thinking more than 5 years ahead. We need to kick off a century without FFG

People might well ask why I keep banging on about the past like this?
Because a continual succession of FF-FG governments is NOT the way to get the change Ireland needs, but small progressive parties (especially the Greens and Labour) have a history of failing to grasp that.
