A piece well worth taking 10 minutes to read. Anyone who thinks Musk’s influence only goes as far as those who use X (albeit that’s fewer now thanks to him) is missing the point.
Have written about Starmer's speech- his best moment yet as PM. He implicitly identified what sits at the heart of this story: the emergence of a common UK/US online right, headed by the radicalised Musk.

It is making extremist, until recently fringe politics mainstream in British conservatism.

As 2025 kicks into gear, on reflection one of the small highlights for Belmont Strategy last year was supporting MacUilín CLG senior hurling squad with their quarter zips.

The club plays a big role in Ballycastle, so I’m pleased we could make a contribution.

Had to nab a jersey for myself 👌🏻

Great day out at the Aviva. I don’t know if it came across on TV, but the early mistake aside Sam Prendergast looked class. Passing, timing, bravery, confidence…can’t wait to see how he progresses.

If you look closely enough you MIGHT be able to see David Walliams and Alex Jones in the middle of over 1000 guests at last night’s NI Chamber President’s Banquet. A great evening of craic, catch ups…and nervous laughter. #PB2024
