Rob makes a great point here about asymmetric mobilisation - the same dynamic at play with immigration as with Brexit
One thing that has skewed the immigration debate for decades has been asymmetric mobilisation - immigration is more salient for migration sceptics, who are also more politically mobilised.

I wonder if one consequence of the recent Tory/Reform Idi Amin Mass Deportation plans will be to change this
Not only do my earnings not meet the threshold (though I have quite enough to live with comfortably, thank you), I made the mistake of claiming jobseeker allowance for two or three months about 15 years ago, so that's me done... And that's before I even think of "stealing" my state pension!

For those interested in following the South Korea attempted coup👇🏻
Want updates on the situation in South Korea but don't necessarily want to add a bunch of accounts or everyone in a starter pack to your follows?
Check out this feed. You can follow the people in it—scholars, South Korea-based reporters, nuke experts, etc—but the feed alone will show you their posts

Is breá liom an snáithe seo / I love this thread
A few years ago I made a series of mini drawings of interesting Irish women (available as a print here www.ciaraioch.com/artprints/p/...) - this thread is a little information on the women featured, partly because it's useful, but mostly because I'm trying to be sustainable by recycling content.

Ireland Bluesky 1 & 2 starter packs are now full!
I probably missed some requests ... sorry!
But the beauty of the starter packs is if you follow all, many will follow you back so it's a great way to get started connecting with people.

I've now started a second starter pack... overflow from Ireland Bluesky! Plenty of room on this one (for now).

I have started a starter pack... all the posters I could find who are Irish, based in Ireland or posting about Irish stuff. Maybe a vain attempt to recreate some of the buzz of Irish 'other site'.

It's not meant to be exclusive! Let me know if you want to be added!
