It was a pleasure to catch up with @saravanbuer from @PES_PSE in Dublin yesterday. It was also nice to have a lot of positive points to talk about 🌹

The Democrats need to be very careful of taking the advice of Lincoln Project & Never-Trump Republicans. They lost their own party first and are more than capable of ruining yours too.

And it really didn't take long for lazy commentators to start saying Harris should have moved further to the right, without any evidence or coherent basis.

A paper straw man argument if ever there was one.

The aftermath of Electric Picnic. The people who go here are the ones who make you drink from a paper straw and bring cans back to the supermarket.

Mary Lou wondering why @boucherhayes isn’t giving a tougher interview to Thomas, the friendly Westmeath farmer who found ancient axe heads on his farm.

Part of me wonders whether Aaron Sorkin’s works are partly to blame for the state of the Democrats. The West Wing valorised superficiality, smugness & organisational conservatism. Oh and talking & walking quickly as proxies for intelligence & productivity.

It matters how we talk about communities and people. This is how you show leadership and reshape narratives. Fair play to Aodhán.

I’m proud to call Dónal a friend & someone who has taught me a lot over the years. He deserves much better than this.
This is depressing, not in that it’s about me but that there’s young ones being taught that this is how they can best celebrate their community & traditions. There’s a lot more to life than poking people in the eye.

Sorry to hear of the passing of Mícheál Ó Muircheartaigh. I don’t think anyone captured the joy of sport the way he did. A true great! GAA commentator Mícheál Ó Muircheartaigh dies aged 93 via @RTENews rte.ie/news/ireland/2024/062…

I was in the EP in Strasbourg last February. All Irish MEPs made themselves available for interview bar Clare Daly & Mick Wallace. I went to Daly's office and asked if she was free for coffee & an interview. She told me "Absolutely not" and that I had no right to be there

“I have no interest in talking to you lot,” Clare Daly told reporters after she was eliminated following count 17. Daly said the media had no interest in talking to her for five years. She received the most transfers from Bríd Smith (6,464) but finished on 39,334.

This is fairly hilarious!
A weird Brexit consequence - the British paratroopers who landed in France to recreate D-Day for today's anniversary had to immediately go through customs after landing.
