Fascinating insight.
This is a fascinating thread from one of the best of his generation of conflict reporters. I wonder what a similar thread will look like in 10 years and who will write it?

My last article for @news.rte.ie compares all #GE24 polls with aggregated estimates. Around 10% of voters are still undecided.

Thanks to Patricia O’Callaghan, @markcoughlan.bsky.social & @peterfarr.bsky.social for their thorough reviews and edits over the past month.

In the early days of the old place, follow Friday was a useful way of building up new people to follow & meet. @gavinsblog.bsky.social suggestions have been helpful. Is there anything similar here?
