The fact that Alan Kelly was the only member of the PP not to back Labour's support of her nomination is revealing in this context.

Micheál @nameless-weevil.bsky.social · 16h

The all channels attacks on Catherine Connolly are because, as with Irish Water, Ireland's right wing establishment have an unpopular project (de facto joining the "Western military alliance") that the hoi polloi aren't sophisticated enough to grasp the necessity of and desperation is setting in.

Spare me Trump being celebrated as a peacemaker. The war on Gaza could have been ended at any time in the last two years with a US president telling Netanyahu to "stop the holocaust," as Reagan ordered Begin in 1982.

Palestinians will feel understandable relief. The West should feel nothing but shame. Gaza has been obliterated. The territory rendered uninhabitable. Tens of thousands murdered in cold blood. The entire population subjected to starvation tactics. And now, colonial subjugation under Trump and Blair

Jim Allister is a (v good ) Barrister & has said multiple times that he would have no qualms taking the case of an IRA person if he was approached because the cab rank rule is fundamentally part of the legal system here.
JIM ALLISTER.
So quit with this angle about Catherine Connolly, it’s a smear

Probably the only thing I know about barristers' work is that I understand that the taxi rank rule applies.

Not going to share 'grift' but Heather Humphreys has just said that I'm a man and the gender recognition act should be changed. Please do not vote for or give a preference for her. Having someone as president who thinks this way would be absolutely awful for minorities #SpeirGorm

Dad’s books are full of empathy, common sense, and a healthy suspicion of the powerful. But at its heart his work is also about how systems keep people poor while pretending it’s their own fault. So I hope Kemi’s taking notes as well as reading the jokes.

Gavin has shown himself unfit to be President. This is why we should let our current President take a third term, despite his age. Who cares what the constitution says.

To be fair, holding onto money from a tenant is probably seen as fine and dandy and an acceptable perk among a certain cohort.
