"Alright love, I am heading out."
"Where are you off to?
"Ah I am just heading out to do a spot of golf course management....be back in an hour."
"I don't think that universities should be offering courses in those pastimes."
Asked four times by @NickFerrariLBC, Reform's Suella Braverman finally identifies what she would describe as a 'dud degree'.

Baseless unsubstantiated nonsense retweeted by a politcian who proceeds to add further, unsubstantiated nonsense!

So true Eoin.. you mention NGO’s- it’s just criminal that there are 34,000 of these organisations that don’t create employment but yet get €6.2Billion of hard earned Irish taxpayers money every year and this is of course to the detriment of self-employed people and businesses

This post is getting great traction. Comes across as sensible stuff. In reality, it is ill thought out nonsense!

This act completely erodes the rule of law. The more acts like this becomes normalised, the more absolutely everything else becomes fair game and mutual destruction is guaranteed.
An unarmed Iranian ship was invited, along with the U.S., to be part of an Indian Naval exercise, and its sailors paraded on land before the president.
The U.S. at the last minute pulled out of the exercise and instead attacked the Iranian ship with a torpedo.
Breaking with all norms of civilization and warfare, we then refused to rescue the drowning survivors. The Sri Lanka Navy was left to pull the dead bodies from the water.
I am hard pressed to think of any other nation throughout history that would do something so cowardly and despicable. We are genuinely in a league of our own, and American media — mostly shrugging off the bombing of a girls school and acting as if carpet bombing Tehran is a normal military tactic — is deeply complicit.

It was a very long time ago so I’m not 100% sure what my view was then. But I think the issue is that Hamilton wrapped himself in the Union flag yet didn’t pay taxes here (and hasn’t done for most of his career as he left Britain when he was 22). Ratcliffe, on the other hand, built up a business over many years in the UK, creating jobs and paying huge sums in tax for many years. He didn’t leave Britain until his late 60s. And he doesn’t wrap himself in the union flag or get treated as a great British hero. So all a rather different scenario, don’t you think?

So let's address the human security of our people(s). That is multi faceted and takes a far broader and deeper view of "national security ". Let's address environmental security, food security, political security, housing etc etc. Ireland needs to take more responsibility.
I think it’s clear we need to radically increase our defensive capabilities.
We can do this and debate this without going down the rabbit holes of neutrality, the military industrial complex or western imperialism.
The security of our people and our economy matters.

Because, famously, it is a very strong sign of a democracy when the public votes and then covers their eyes and ears for four years.

Yes, this is a good move. We need to trust those we have elected to run our country instead of looking for validation from China, Russia or the USA.

The latest Global Inequality Report from @OxfamIreland released this week highlights how extreme wealth is becoming even more concentrated among the very richest –
Some of the key findings from the report are:
- Billionaire wealth jumped by over 16 % in 2025, reaching a record $18.3 trillion – an 81 % increase since 2020.
- Billionaires are now over 4,000× more likely to hold political office than the average person.
- The wealth gained by the world’s richest in the last year could have given everyone on Earth a meaningful cash amount and still left billionaires richer.
- The 12 richest billionaires hold more wealth than the poorest half of humanity combined.
This isn’t just about money. The report shows how extreme wealth shapes politics, media, climate decisions, and the everyday lives of millions of people. If we are to work towards a more fair, just and sustainable world this needs to change: oxfam.org.uk/get-involved/ca…

Make no mistake about it, Sky Sports love it when Man United are in disarray. Its good for business. They even have renamed today's 7pm newslot "Man United sack Amorim". GN clearly wants good things for the club but he is speaking like a fan more than analyst here!
🗣️ "It's a poor reflection on everybody"
🗣️ "When you turn on your bosses you're not going to keep your job for long"
Gary Neville reflects on the sacking of Ruben Amorim at Manchester United and how the relationship with the hierarchy may have impacted the decision 🔴

It's not really that Catherine Connolly "won", so much as the Government lost. They're such a shambles they just imploded.
