No sudden rupture is now required for the far right to take power in this country. For what we're seeing is a steady normalisation of extremists by the Conservative and Labour Parties, BBC, Telegraph, Mail and others. A shift once considered unthinkable beings to look acceptable, even inevitable.🧵

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.

“The second anyone suggests that a man whose entire political career has been devoted to attacking migrants and making discriminatory comments about non-white people, might be a racist, all hell breaks loose”

Enough. Farage is a racist menace. We must say so.

Nigel Farage Is a Racist The media is refusing to state the most bleedingly obvious facts about a man whose entire career has been devoted to pursuing a racist political agenda ADAM BIENKOV OCT 04, 2025 Nigel Farage is a racist. That is my honestly held opinion based on absolutely everything he has said and done since entering politics in the late nineties.

First #aras25 opinion poll - since the ballot was confirmed as a three horse race - in the Sunday Independent this weekend.

On polling day Catherine Connolly needs, I think, about 45% of first preference votes.

Not just a 'person with firearms conviction', but an 'armed struggle' Éirigí activist. Her supporters will cry foul over media attacks, but there really are genuine questions about Connolly's judgement.
