For the sake of the people of Gaza, hoping this means the killing stops. I don't trust Israel to respect any deal. But it has to stop.

There's so much being talked about Arsenal lately. Is there pressure on Arteta? Are Arsenal actually good? Why are they struggling?
1. We have lost once in the past 14 games on all comps. We good.
2. Arteta has dragged this club up to competing for trophies. He good.

This may actually help the government actually pass laws sanctioning Israel for it's genocide in Palestine. Too long have they talked the talk but never walked the walk, now there's little reason not to act.

The simple truth is
Ireland has talked the talk on opposition to Israel’s genocide but actually *done* very little.
The failure to enact the Occupied Territories Bill is the biggest such failure.
And yet *still* the Israelis are pulling out of Dublin. 1/

Right, the way I see it is the most straightforward route to government is Fine Gael, Fianna Fáil, Greens and Labour.
An alternative is Sinn Féin, Fianna Fáil, Soc Dems and PBP. The left leaning support parties could be enough to temper Fianna Fáil. It could require a change in the FF leadership.

Sinn Fein top the poll. FG surprisingly high. Soc Dems done very well and probably suffered from lack of candidates. Same with PBP.
It's clear it could well be another FF, FG and GP and Labour government.

Voting today and a candidate was parked in the carpark with his car that had his face plastered all over it with, Vote No1 on it. Surely that's a breach of the rules? #GE24

A Fianna Fáil candidate's canvasser came to the door today. I answered and told them I had nothing against the candidate, he is a good councillor, but I would never vote for Fianna Fáil.
All I got was a stare for about a solid minute. It was quare awkward. Then "But he's young and passionate"...ok?

I wonder if a Soc Dem and PBP merger became a reality behind closed doors and that's what spurred on the swift election campaign? Surely Sinn Fein and a collective party of left parties would walk into government if done right.

Great current affairs example for any Politics and Society teachers looking at Media or Noam Chomsky as a key thinker.
Tanaiste Micheal Martin speaking at and then handing out awards at the rish Journalism Awards just 16 days before #GE2024 is a bad look for our media and its need to remain neutral and transparent. The optics alone, FFS…
