"I'm making this speech to warn anyone who's watching that what we're experiencing right now is a key moment of corporate takeover."
Shed-sits, gutting democratic oversight in planning, pushing nuclear power... The corporate capture of the Irish government is real.

"Kids who need time-sensitive spinal surgery are waiting more than 6 months longer because their little bodies are less profitable to operate on."
The shocking unpublished report confirms public child patients are forced to wait longer for surgery & private patients prioritised.

From Southport to Belfast, we keep seeing the same pattern: a terrible crime, followed by racist mobs attacking black and brown people who had nothing to do with it.
These are pogroms.
The politicians and media figures who spent years demonising migrants and inflaming racial hatred have blood on their hands.
We must stand together against this hatred and organise against this fascism.

A lot of hand wringing this morning from some politicians who helped stoke the fire and helpedescalate division and hate. This morning we have seen the aftermath of that division.
Shame on them.

#BBCBreakfast: "... families had to be led to safety through the flames.. it wasn't just homes, cars were also torched by young masked men in these predominantly unionist streets, but the target here was immigrants.."
This is what the likes of Reform are inciting.

Racist pogroms indiscriminately attacking migrants and non-white people. Ugly, fascist, violence on our island that we can not ignore.
This has to be challenged and defeated. The trade union movement needs to step up to protect and unify working people, migrant and Irish.

The science behind the weird Atlantic 'cold blob' explained (in under 15 minutes). It's the only part of the planet which hasn't warmed in the last hundred years, but cooled! And it's a bad sign. #AMOC

Not out of nowhere.
Not without warning.
Iran warned that an attack on Beirut would trigger a response.
Israel bombed Beirut anyway
Now that response has begun

Firstly, I want to thank Anita Little for being incredibly brave and for coming forward at such a significant personal cost. It has undoubtedly affected both her career and, I am sure, her mental well being.
'I blew the whistle on Harvey case at CHI' ✍️ Maeve Sheehan
A former manager at Children's Health Ireland (#CHI) has revealed she is the whistleblower who flagged concerns around Harvey Morrison Sherratt's care.
Anita Little, a former spinal services business manager, who settled a legal employment dispute with CHI last week, told the Sunday Independent: "Yes, I can confirm I am the whistleblower."
She said she made a protected disclosure to the Health Minister after it came to her attention that Harvey who suffered from complex scoliosis and spina bifida, had been inexplicably removed from the waiting list. He died, aged nine. last July.
"I felt the Minister for Health had the power to find out what happened with Harvey" she said. "I was also aware that his parents did not know he had been removed from the waiting list which is just absolutely outrageous."
Standing by the allegations she made in a protected disclosure, which was sent to the minister last August 31, Ms Little said she is willing to testify at the statutory inquiry or any inquiry.
"There are patients at risk due to suboptimal processes, lack of transparency, communication and waiting-list management practices at CHI."
In a statement to the Sunday Independent, Ms Sherratt [@GillSherratt23] said the family still has no answers, two years after Harvey was removed from the waiting list.
Ms Sherratt added the scope of the inquiry must be “wide” and “deep” enough “to truly uncover everything that’s been allowed to go on at CHI”.

In Sunday Business Post, Helen McEntee tells us the "legal position regarding goods differs significantly from ... services" in relation to the Occupied Territories Bill.
How so? The International Court of Justice was clear states should "prevent trade or investment relations”.
