“I doubt Elon Musk could even point to Belfast on a map.”
@Lewis_Goodall calls out the 'tech oligarch' for ‘fanning the flames’ of a riot in a city he ‘knows nothing about’.
Every day, ships leave this russian owned factory in Ireland straight for St Petersburg carrying thousands of tonnes of raw alumina for the war machine.
There’s corruption everywhere. Locals tell me politicians are bought by oligarchs.
Ireland is no longer militarily neutral.
Today is Tax Freedom Day!
Up until June 5th, every penny the average Brit earned went straight to the taxman. From today (June 6th), you are finally earning for yourself!
Under our improved methodology, this is the latest Tax Freedom Day ever recorded. 👇
The Ukrainian Embassy said alumina exported from the Aughinish plant in Limerick is "extensively used by Russia’s military-industrial complex." https://t.co/stjujxj5lp
The Russian owned aluminium processing plant in Limerick needs to be banned from exporting to Russia. Plenty of demand in Western Europe for the output. @MichealMartinTD
During russia's attack on Kyiv on June 2, Veronika, a mother of two was killed while running with her children to a shelter.
Her sons, aged 2 and 4, were taken to Okhmatdyt children's hospital. The older boy suffered severe bruising and a hematoma. The younger one sustained much more serious injuries: an explosive fracture of his left elbow, multiple wounds to his face and body, and shrapnel embedded in his soft tissues.
The mother did everything she could to save her children. She did not survive. 💔 Everyone who supports russia has our blood on their hands.

Quite. Can't however find Goodall's impassioned tweet about Dutch nationalist activist Eva Vlaardingerbroek, who was recently banned from entering the UK by the Starmer government.
This is counter-productive, authoritarian and chilling. The British state should not be in the business of banning commentators and journalists from entering the country, without compelling reason. Finding their views objectionable is nowhere near enough.

The Soho Society's decision to oppose all new and extended licence applications is the wrong one - it's bad for London.
Once in force, new licensing powers I’ve been granted by Government, coupled with our bold new proposals to support London’s hospitality and nightlife, will help us protect venues, extend London's late-night offer and allow the capital’s nightlife to flourish.
NEW: As more chaos broke out in Westminster, there were claims political reporters were fuelling, even relishing it.
It stung senior journalists, who reject it.
Beth Rigby, Robert Peston among those to react to the claim reporters are addicted to chaos:
