Reminder that nationality may exist whether or not you’ve applied for or renewed a passport. A passport is merely evidence of nationality, it does not confer it. There are millions of dual citizens in the UK, many of whom will never have held a passport for their other nationality/ies.
Who decides if you're a dual national or not? Say for example you were one but decide to not renew your, to pick an example at random, Nigerian passport because you've decided just to call yourself British. Do you no longer count even though you could renew your passport in the future?
The Conservative party’s policy also includes stripping people of their British citizenship when they are found guilty of a crime ⬇️

We are going to see a lot more of this in the Irish courts if the government’s proposals to drive actual lawyers out of the business go through #speirghorm
A company director being pursued for €765,000 following the collapse of her packaging firm has been using artificial intelligence to “churn out reams” of legal papers, the High Court has heard.
One AI-assisted affidavit cited case law that did not exist.

Fun fact of the day: most Muslims in Michigan didn't actually vote for Trump.
They mostly called bullshit on the false dichotomy of choice that their only valid choices were to vote for him or his equally pro-genocide mainstream candidate Harris.

The GFA provides for two types of unification referendum, the mandatory one we talk about often, and the little-discussed discretionary type. The refusal of the political establishment here to plan for a border poll is a strategic error that leaves us wide open to the threat described in this piece.
The Irish Government should be planning for a once unthinkable event: Nigel Farage becoming PM and weaponising a border poll against Ireland, relishing the chaos he could cause. He could do this within the law, and nationalism couldn't easily complain.
How Nigel Farage could weaponise a border poll against the Irish state
There is a type of border poll which once would have been unthinkable but for which the Irish government now ought to be planning.

The most entertaining part is that they could increase funding to properly pay and equip our defence forces without needing to touch the triple lock. The fact that they haven't and none of them are advocating that demonstrates how the only thing they want is to sit with the "bigger boys". Pathetic
The Irish commentariat has gone into overdrive, not just misinforming but outright lying about threats to our security.
What makes it worse is that this small handful of people with paid column inches, media appearances & think tanks dismiss the majority as 'lecturing' others.

All of this is fascism. And not early stage either. This is the embedding of the Right Wing Daily Mail press consensus as the absolutely unshakable common sense of the UK state. Made possible because the "left wing" party has abdicated any kind of moral position on it.
