Interesting that Musk shows more respect, in terms of his dressing, when he is with the Chinese government than with the American government, but MAGA doesn’t care.

Since you asked:

⚔️The Mahdist Sudanese threat to Egypt
⚔️Gold & diamonds in the Transvaal & Orange Free State
⚔️Belgian independence
⚔️UK rule in Ireland
⚔️UK rule in Palestine
⚔️Polish independence
⚔️South Korean independence

So lots of reasons, none of them connected to foreign delivery dudes

This is an incredible short film. If you want to understand why the journalists of Guardian & Observer are fighting for our survival, please watch it. It gave me the chills.

Winnie Mandela on how the Observer helped save Nelson Mandela's life & the ANC leadership

Defining and disastrous
Taoiseach Simon Harris speaks with a woman who says she is a carer. His coldness, condescension and lack of empathy for someone who is clearly genuine, upset and exasperated and says more than I can.

No shock in the answers but always impressed with how well Mary Lou interviews

Whichcandidate is a really useful tool. It asks key policy questions and then shows who she will align with in her area:
whichcandidate.ie

But I would caution that there is so much mis/disinformation about farming and climate. A vote for climate IS a vote for farmers
WhichCandidate
Find the candidate that matches your views on WhichCandidate.ie

Nice to see a couple of unfamiliar candidates for #ge24 on #tonightvmtv this should be encouraged more in next week and half. For me would like to see some of the likely 2nd preference of parties

So frustrating to hear clean sweep regarding Gaza, collation government had enough time to get occupied territory bill through and stalled

#rteupfront way to many people for a debate, wasn’t even aware of right for change. Martin/Harris attacks on Mary Lou come across as panicked
