Myself & many, are hoping for another clear decision stating “we can’t in good conscience”speech soon @clairehanna.bsky.social & Colum Eastwood, whether you agree in principle, or not, due to the shambolic passage process of the Assisted (Suicide) Dying Bill” myths & already evident slippery slope
As an Irish political party we can’t in good conscience go to Washington for St Patrick’s Day this year.

Ireland has a proud history of solidarity with Palestine.

The values of the SDLP are simply not compatible with what we’re seeing and hearing from Donald Trump on Gaza.

Dream big, work hard and be gentle with yourself and others.
Sometimes the clouds obscure our view but if we do the work our dreams move closer ✨

The fact that Harris is so assured in the media and in debates and has no idea how to talk to the public is the perfect illustration of how debate doesn't prove anything about any skills except that this person can learn talking points.
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.

This is an interesting thread imo
I was on TalkBack today discussing career politicians & political "outsiders" in light of Trump’s potential appointment of Elon Musk as "efficiency advisor." I could talk about this all day, but I'll sum it up: political outsiders are a good thing when motivated by a desire to serve the community.

For the new BlueSkiers, I love to scribble. It’s nothing special. But it’s all mine 😊
This one is a fairly basic and constant value of mine: #BeKind
