Exactly a year ago, we opened the Farmer’s Dog to back British farming. Today, there are 146 people on the payroll and I’d like to thank every single one of them for making it such a roaring success.

Under Islamic laws Women are not considered human beings, but property.
How come the UN elects an Islamic state as a watchdog of women’s rights?

Listen to Mark Carney defending his country; this is leadership not appeasement!

As many inexplicably seem to be throwing President @ZelenskyyUa to the wolves, I stand with him. He’s been an astoundingly courageous and inspiring leader in horrendous circumstances, and deserves so much better than the way he is currently being treated/smeared.

Anyone here seen any detail about the DEI musical in Ireland that got 70 grand from US AID or did someone just trouser the cash?

Another piece of good news from @ourworldindata: it looks like emissions have peaked for almost all air pollutants. Accelerating this decline will benefit countless humans.

NEW: Deirdre Morley, who took the lives of her children, Conor, Darragh and Carla McGinley - is getting unaccompanied days out of the Central Mental Hospital.
We also spoke to the children’s father Andrew McGinley as he marks 5 years since their deaths: irishmirror.ie/news/irish-ne…

Wow! We've reached a new record high for jobs in Ireland. There are 2,785,000 of us in employment - an increase of 100,000 in just one year. Female participation has never been higher. Long-term unemployment is at a record low. We've never had so many opportunities. 🇮🇪🧑💼👷

Conor’s first football match was on this day 2012, Ireland vs Greece.
Ireland lost but we had 2 bags of chips and he got to stay up late so it was a great day 😃
#Conor #Darragh #Carla 🥰🥰🥰

NEVER EVER have I ever seen anything like this before and I have covered many many disasters. With brooms, buckets, food and water in hand, the Valencian community go and help their neighbours ♥️♥️♥️

The Taliban’s latest edict is horrifying. Banning Afghan women and girls from hearing each other’s voices in public is a deliberate effort to erase them from society.
We condemn the Taliban’s appalling assault on the rights of women and girls.

This is the ad that triggered Trump operative Charlie Kirk. It would be a real shame if it went viral

I do not understand why what is going on in Afghanistan is not bigger news. Women now banned from “hearing other women’s voices” independent.co.uk/asia/south…
