If there's a win going sure we won't say no to it.

March 2018: Observer reports Vote Leave broke law by coordinating campaigns and overspending. ‘LIES!’

July 2018: Electoral Commission finds the above to be true, fines VL and refers them to police. ‘LIES!’

March 2019: ‘erm, we withdraw our appeal and we’re paying our fine.’

Really excellent and considered piece by Ross Tucker on the scope of performance advantages in transgender athletes. Anyone with even a passing interest should take the time.

[Ross Tucker @Scienceofsport]

I have a Sunday long read for you - I've shared thoughts on Transgender athletes & performance advantages in my latest article. Long & complex, but I set it out in a way I hope is 'digestible', and can be read in chunks. Part 1 is summary, Part 2 is nuance https://t.co/ecc9wzEUHv

This is fantastic.

So three insurance companies in this market - FBD, RSA and Aviva - made combined profits of almost €200m last year. Remind me again who is taking the hit.

Congratulations to @petercrowley90 for drawing a collective mass shiver from everyone in Fitzgerald Stadium for being the only @Kerry_Official or @monaghangaa player to warm up without a tracksuit.

I haven't looked out the window yet but from what I can hear of the rain there's about as much a chance I'll be doing the @parkrun this morning as there is @realDonaldTrump getting his next spray tan done in Chartbusters, Tralee.

Will be interesting to see what arguments might be made in favour of another Liam Millar-type event, or as @LenihanDonal suggested a Munster Champions Cup game in Cork, that would fall within these aims. I'm sure lessons have been learned,but I hope they were not PR lessons only.

I'm glad to see that this motion passed comfortably. As you'd expect, any authorisation must be in compliance with GAA policy. Director general Tom Ryan told congress that one pillar of GAA policy was that a decision must be in furtherance of GAA aims. Let's look at the GAA aims:

There is a wider political engagement amount young people than ever before and its positive activism has brought significant constitutional and societal change in Ireland in recent years. Change for the good. Spare the ridicule; listen and understand.

Great piece by David McWilliams on the intended and actual effects of the introduction of QE ten years ago. The data here on the attitudes and beliefs of millennials should be read and noted. [...] https://t.co/bgNa0CJet5

The more of this that is published and understood, the more likely thoughtless ridicule will be replaced by appreciation.

Really enjoying Colm Tóibín's latest. Love how he stitches his own experiences into the essays to draw out the similarities between writer and father, but without imposing himself on the stories. The similarities are fascinating,as is the occasional avoidance in confronting them.

This is absolutely brilliant! The perfect christmas song for Brexit
