🤭😃 I know, I know, we've all seen it already, but please indulge me, this is a timeless piece of Comedy Gold. Like a Monty Python sketch, this will never get old. 😂

Excellent analysis of Alliance's drastic decline. It should have entered opposition in 2024 (or, alternatively, secured a tangible price for entering government). Once the party offering an alternative to the Executive, now it's at this failing Executive's heart.
Naomi Long lifted Alliance into double digits but, on 9%, its back on old territory. Once NI's most popular leader, she is now consistently the lowest rated. Insiders say the hard, honest conversations desperately needed in the party aren't taking place. belfasttelegraph.co.uk/comme…

It's definitely being ignored by Irish media.
For last 24 hours I’ve seen footage of horrific scenes from Gaza, just absolute human misery. Yet..it’s not there on any news outlet’s home pages, not discussed on our witless political shows. We’re just going to ignore it? Is that the plan?

Labour: we back the war that's pushing up prices. Also Labour: to bring prices down, we're going to make you poorer. Is the end of neoliberalism that establishment shills are talking about? #ContinuityStarmer
The financial secretary to the Treasury explains that the war on Iran is driving inflation so the Bank of England has put up interest rates. How is making peoples mortgages more expensive going to make a barrel of oil cheaper?

No one should be surprised that #AndreasMalm has been banned from Britain, it has always been an authoritarian state. It just practised it on its periphery, not least in the north of Ireland. To English leftists who are shocked, this is just the chickens coming home to roost.

Trademark is 25 & has been on the Cupar Way interface all that time, the last 18 yrs on the Shankill side of the gates. Today we move. Thinking of the hard work & craic, but mostly of the two legends who made it possible. They'd be excited about what's next! Ar aghaidh linn! 🚩

Text I’ve sent into @BBCgmu that they have not read out in relation to their coverage of the UK budget …once again we see the myth of “the government is like a household” and “there’s no money”… the government does not create money for funding public services via taxes …

'Alarmism'. We're talking about a situation where Israel has occupied Southern Lebanon, displacing over 1 million people, destroying entire villages. This mission, with no UN mandate, is to 'stabilise' Lebanon, led by an EU that has sided w/ Israel throughout the genocide.
There’s a lot of alarmism about this planned Lebanon mission. I have not yet formed a view about it, but here is a summary of the military side of the mission which is still at the planning stage. “The military pillar will provide advisory support and training to strengthen the capabilities of the Lebanese Armed Forces, for border security andmaritime security, including in land border surveillance and control, intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance, counter-smuggling and operational coordination.” That doesn’t sound too alarming but I’ll reserve judgement.

If you think something could end humanity, the sane response would be to stop building it, not to build it faster and sell shares in it... #AIbubble #Aiapocalypse

I'll be chatting about this on @BBCgmu shortly, if you fancy tuning in
🧵Infrastructure minister's new transport proposals for Belfast are not that new: - Expanded pedestrian-priority streets/ new civic spine (what is pedestrian priority? Not pedestrianised?) - 20mph speed limit (good idea - taking cars out of the centre is better) NO TRAIN PLANS?

From Belfast, solidarity with the people of Brazil. A sovereign Latin America matters for all of humanity, and it's a clear rebuke to the Donroe Doctrine. Viva Lula! ✊ 🇧🇷
BREAKING: Brazil’s left-wing President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva won the presidential run-off against right-wing Senator Flavio Bolsonaro on Sunday, the electoral authority said, securing a fourth non-consecutive term. 🟠 LIVE updates: aje.news/vs1cfu

An incredible victory for Serbia's students, beating an entrenched 14-year right wing regime. No party machine, no big donors, just organizing. Pobeda! ✊🇷🇸
Celebrations erupted across Belgrade as Serbia's student-backed movement claimed a major victory over Aleksandar Vucic's long-standing ruling party. The result follows nearly two years of protests after a railway station collapse in Novi Sad killed 16 people in 2024.

Eventually they're going to just stop having you on because it looks so ridiculous having you calmly explaining your point while everyone else screeches incoherently
