Peter Mandelson is a Pedophile supporting nonce. Should have his titles removed, not platformed by the BBC.

Complete disgrace of a broadcaster.

Nature Trail: Can the Cottonweed be brought back from the brink of extinction?
Cottonweed, a native plant, is one of the rarest wild flowers found growing in Ireland. It used to grow at five sites nationwide but is now confined to a single site on the south Wexford coast.

The Irish right are a bunch of Quislings. Genuine security threat to Irish sovereignty.

This whole event directly caters to the most powerful empire on earth, and directly to their corporations. Ganley's talks of lowering taxes will almost certainly only help the billionaires and corporations.
It's becoming very clear that many of our self-styled patriots are anything but. They are trying to undermine what's left of our sovereignty for the benefit of US imperialism.

What exactly was the US ambassador doing at this conference? Foreign interference in our politics.

There's lots of coverage on the impact of #Mercosur on farmers but very little on the environmental and human rights impact of the deal. Im resharing an article I wrote for @eolasmagazine outlining my concerns on the deal and why it needs to be stopped.

Funniest thing about this whole ordeal, is that if Scottish Labour were part of some plot to oust Starmer, it'd likely be to put Streeting on the throne.

It's like jumping out of the frying pan and into the fryer
Scottish Labour MPs have been urged by the SNP to 'come clean' about whether they are part of an apparent plot to oust Prime Minister Keir Starmer

Outside US embassy to say:

Hands off Venezuela
Hands off Cuba
Hands off neutrality

The government has no interest in sovereignty. They just want to lick the boots of Trump.

They want rid of the Triple Lock so Irish troops can be sent to fight for US power. We need to save it.

Heba Muraisi is on day 69 of her hunger strike.

Kamran Ahmed is on day 62 of his hunger strike.

They are at risk of dying at any moment. This is a political choice by Keir Starmer’s Labour government.

Immediate bail for remand prisoners NOW.

Pedocon theory yet to be proven wrong!

There's actual child porn on his app and he calls the outrage against it CENSORSHIP. Like, what the actual fuck! In a just society all of his assets would be seized by the govt, twitter would be dismantled and Musk would be awaiting his execution!
The billionaire sought to push back against the outcry over X’s AI chatbot Grok creating sexualised images of people, including children, at the request of users.

Shame on this government and their Ceann Comhairle.

An authoritarian stroke by Fianna Fáil, Fine Gael, and their Lowry and Healy Rae 'independents'.

Sums up the day's events.

This will annoy many, but if I hear yet another Green Party election candidate say on the radio that they've 'delivered on nature loss and the climate', I'll go off my head.

Make no mistake: they've wasted 4 years mostly tinkering at the edges of those issues, as part of a neoliberal coalition.

Video shows the moment an Israeli air attack hit and destroyed a residential building in Beirut’s Chiyah area.

The city’s southern suburbs have been struck repeatedly in recent months, but this is the first time this neighbourhood has been hit.
