You couldn't make it up. Shinners didn't understand the Dáil business in Irish, so they voted against their own amendment. Dopes.

@ZackPolanski hottest June Day ever? Very bold statement when humans only started recording temperatures in the mid-17th Century. More dog-whistling from you #Clown

[Zack Polanski @ZackPolanski]

It's officially the hottest June day ever.

We know who is to blame. Fossil fuel firms. The billionaire media. Weak politicians.

We know what we must do. Rapid decarbonisation & adaptation for a healthier, wealthier country safe for future generations.

After reading @safewordsorg posts below, amongst others, I’d love someone to explain why this isn’t being treated rightfully as the biggest scandal ever seen in the UK?

Absolutely sickening - can only hope that the survivors of these atrocities can find a semblance of peace.

Wow

Every single person who still cringes at the memory of trying to bullshit their way through an interview or exam question: today, the slate is wiped clean. Set down your burden of shame. Nothing - nothing, I say - could touch this.

TG4 platforms Seamus Finucane, the man who led an IRA "investigation" into my abuse, and then denied it in court, therefore denying justice to Martin Morris' child victims. The Finucane family is entitled to the truth. We all know, though, that Seamus, by dint of his IRA position, continues to withhold the full truth from the public in relation to other cases.

🚨BREAKING: Sir Malcolm Walker, founder of Iceland supermarket, has come out to say "two-tier policing exists," revealing police arrived instantly to one of his stores after a fake accusation of racism, but didn't attend when staff were seriously hurt by shoplifters

Shocking.

My missus, normally pretty left of centre on social issues, had an instant response @labourlewis - the “birthing people” language should help you and @UKLabour in the next GE

@labourlewis "Birthing people" Seriously? Your disrespect of women is vile.

The mental gymnastics here. My Mum, who ran the Belfast Rape Crisis Centre for over 20 years, exposes this pervert after online speculation… but she’s the ‘c**t.’
These little snowflakes aren’t fit to tie her shoes.

Absolutely superb synopsis by @SageDespatches - would love to hear any arguments against it

[Sage Despatches @SageDespatches]

Anyone paying attention will have noticed a recurring theme.

PIRA was heavily infiltrated by the early 1990s and at the beginning of that decade, the PIRA leadership (represented at first by Martin McGuinness) was involved in secret talks with the British government via the intelligence services. The purpose of those talks was to wind down PIRA's failed campaign of terrorism. The peace process was part of a choreographed, face-saving end to decades of pointless violence that achieved nothing.

PIRA had been contained and their stated objective was unobtainable. A grand illusion was required to avoid a damaging split within PIRA and to ensure the majority of its membership and supporters followed the leadership across a golden bridge of retreat. A carefully constructed narrative was offered to Irish Republicans who needed to believe that it wasn't yet another failed IRA campaign, yet another humiliating defeat. People needed a distraction from the obvious fact that PIRA's stated objective had not been achieved. They had to be sold the idea that a defeat was actually progress towards the attainment of the utopian vision, namely a united Ireland. Politics was supposedly the "next phase", after decades of PIRA Sinn Fein claiming that the "armed struggle" would continue until a British withdrawal had occurred.

People internalised the propaganda narrative because people believe what they want to believe. It helped that the narrative was delivered to them by PIRA's leadership rather than the British state.

By the time members of PIRA were carrying out the failed terrorist attack mentioned in the article below, the PIRA leadership already knew they had been defeated and such attacks were not going to bring about a united Ireland.

Irish Republicans should ponder on how the PIRA leadership not only lied to them and concealed information, the leadership used them, viewing them as expendable pawns in a game they knew that was already lost.

NHS DESTROYED THE WOMAN WHO CAUGHT ITS DOCTORS STEALING FROM IT

Sharmila Chowdhury @sharmilaxx gave 30 years of spotless service to the @NHS. Not one disciplinary mark. Not one complaint. She was the budget holder for radiology at Ealing Hospital NHS Trust, which means she could see exactly where the money was going.

What she saw was two consultant radiologists billing the NHS for shifts they were spending at a private hospital down the road. The Trust lost £250,000 of public money through those arrangements.

She reported it to her line manager. Her medical director. HR. Counter Fraud. The Department of Health. The Treasury. Number 10.

She had a paper trail so airtight that @ITV undercover surveillance later caught the same consultants still absent during paid hours, and caught Miranda Harvie and Akkib Rafique taking direct cash payments from patients for private ultrasounds inside the NHS building, money going straight into their own account.

So what did the Trust do with this documented, camera-confirmed, publicly broadcast fraud?

They sacked her. On fabricated counter-allegations from a subordinate she had herself reported for breaching patient safety. The man who filed those allegations later sent an email signed off with "0800-F***-YOU-B****." He received a Top Mentor award from the Trust that same year.

Sharmila won the Interim Relief Hearing. She won the internal appeal. The judge asked the Trust to reinstate her. The Trust said no and refused to let her return. She was blacklisted. Job offers were withdrawn the moment employers discovered who she was. She settled out of court in 2012 with two years pay, out of which she had to pay £77,500 in legal fees alone. 38 Degrees38 Degrees

In July 2013, she was diagnosed with breast and lung cancer. Multiple consultants believe this is a direct result of the sustained stress of her treatment as a whistleblower.

The consultants she reported kept their jobs.

George Osborne said he could not get involved. Andrew Lansley said he could not get involved. David Cameron said he could not get involved. Every single official body, every single minister, every single department looked at a proven, camera-documented NHS fraud case and decided it was an employment matter.

@Javoudria @porksathome Really simple answer…..because since GFA @DUPleader & @uuponline have roiled over. Blustered without consequence- @StephenNolan has done more to hold them to account. Hopefully times are changing with the likes of @JonBurrowsMLA @JBuckleyMLA etc

[Farrukh @implausibleblog]

David Maddox, The Independent, says that he knew Mandelson had failed security vetting, published an article, and contacted the head of communications at Downing Street in September

So the idea that Labour's Downing Street only just found out is not true

@G99____ @BigJeffery8 Tells you a lot matey. Succession-planning failure on our part and an acceptance of a complete abandonment of your club’s roots playing a massive part 😜

[AFJ @AFJWindsor]

@robert_quigg @DownOrangeMan Should have happened since Stormont’s post GFA inception. @duponline & @uuponline complicit in allowing SF to rewrite history & create a victim hierarchy without challenge. Shameful for years. Triumvirate of Gaston, Buckley and Burrows at least now showing a back bone

[AFJ @AFJWindsor]

@G99____ @BigJeffery8 Think BigJeff’s point is that we’re so very poor, yet not too far behind, therefore the better teams than us are simply just above our current depths - and we are poor…….
