I've never known anyone who was obsessed with immigration who wasn't an out and out loser and an absolute racist bigot.

I'm saying it because it's simply not said enough.

I think every party represented in the HoC has had a female leader at this stage (Tories are on their third) - except Labour and Reform.
Does the Guardian think anyone is worried about the Tories anymore?

And the taoiseach is off to suck up to the president who oversees this. Will he mention it? If he does, he'll probably mention the irish detainee, but will he say anything about the other 4,999?
"A modern-day concentration camp ... People have been killed by the staff here." Irish citizen Seamus Culleton has been in ICE detention since September, despite having a valid work permit and his own business in the US.

By the landlords, for the landlords.
This confirmed by the Taoiseach in the Dáil just now – a significant backtrack by the Government in the midst of an acute housing shortage, now allowing more properties to stay in use for short-term lettings without needing to register/amend their property designation as 'commercial'

"the Irish government aren't going to say or do shit"

Transferable
the Irish government aren't going to say or do shit about ICE flights of Palestinians going through Shannon because the Irish government is still issuing deportation orders against Palestinians
The Justice Department has been accused of “potentially sending people to their deaths” after 50 deportation orders were signed last year on Palestinian and Sudanese nationals.

“There are literally genocides taking place there," said People Before Profit’s Paul Murphy.

"After careful reflection, I have decided to resign from the government"

I can't be the first to notice this, but McSweeney was never a member of the government.

Pics I've seen from the SD conference, people look like people I know, dressed normally: white, black, brown, youngold, normal gender balance. FF ard fheis looks like a GAA county board, FG like a golf club dinner.
Uplifting weekend of hope at the @social-democrats.bsky.social National Conference in Cork. There are policies in place, there are ordinary people at the heart of those policies & there are the people to deliver those policies. Change is gradually approaching on the horizon. Proud to be part of it.

I have a Labour MP

Starmer sacked her for liking Maxine Peake.
I'm very unhappy about several things Starmer has done, not just re. Mandelson, but the last thing we need with the world as it is right now is an unstable government. If you have a Labour MP email them and ask them to #holdtheline

Hold the Line - Tell Your Labour MP to Stand Firm
Email your Labour MP to support stable government. In a world where Trump tears up international rules and Reform waits in the wings, Britain cannot afford political paralysis.
