Another BBC apology it's becoming a common occurrence

🚨 WATCH: The BBC's on-air apology to Nigel Farage after misquoting his "pure cold rage" comment as "white cold rage"

Just go and hide in the toilet

@DeirdreHargey Yous literally cause most of the failures here in Northern Ireland, aka, being massive hypocrites.

They should also close the forum down

[Jimmy Rushton @JimmySecUK]

Ukraine flew drones 1000km across Russia and blew up a $150m Russian warship and set fire to an oil terminal on the opening day of the Saint Petersburg International Economic Forum.

Utter humiliation for the Kremlin and Vladimir Putin.

They are not free we are all paying for them and some of us are paying for our own families also

[Rachel Reeves @RachelReevesMP]

This is the difference this Labour government is making.

Kids starting the day full and ready to learn, no matter their background.

An achievement all Labour MPs can be proud of- and opposed by the Conservatives and Reform.

[David @DavySMcC]

Why would the word you inserted happen to be "white"? A strange random insertion..... although perhaps not Mr Chorley!

[Matt Chorley @MattChorley]

I owe Nigel Farage an apology.

During last night’s Newsnight we covered the murder of Henry Nowak and the political reaction to the case, including discussing Nigel Farage’s comments about “pure, cold rage”.

However I referred to “white cold rage”. This was a mistake on my part, a misremembering of the quote. It didn’t change the content of the interview but I should have got the quote right. I apologise to Nigel Farage for this.

I wonder if any of them are driving their mobility cars again?

[Cllr Gary Hynds @GaryHynds]

MLAs already receive thousands in travel expenses from the taxpayer, yet some are now also getting free electric charging at Stormont on top of that.

Meanwhile ordinary working people are paying rising bills, fuel costs and taxes.

Stormont keeps talking about “sustainability” but maybe it should start with sustaining public trust and common sense.

The public are fed up watching politics become one rule for them and another for everyone else.

🚨 LIVE CHICKENS are being sold from packed crates in the back of vans on British streets.

Meanwhile, Britain’s farmers operate under some of the strictest animal welfare regulations in the world, buried beneath inspections, licensing and endless compliance rules.

Chickens are already the most abused animals in Britain. What many people now see emerging is a two-tier welfare system where standards appear rigidly enforced for some whilst quietly ignored for others.

Simple the EU should sanction it

Schiffe der Rusal-Fabrik in Irland steuern direkt St. Petersburg an, um Aluminiumoxid für Russlands Kriegsmaschinerie zu beliefern. Doch das ist noch nicht alles:

Das 134 Meter lange Frachtschiff „Arne“ verließ am 1. Januar 2026 St. Petersburg und legte am 25. Januar am irischen Werk Aughinish Alumina an. Nach der Beladung bewegte sich das Schiff am 28. Januar vor der irischen Küste auf einer Tiefe von 90 Metern mit herabgelassenem Anker genau im Bereich des transatlantischen Datenkabels AEC-1 zwischen Irland und den USA. Zuvor kreuzte es das Kabel C-Lion zwischen Deutschland und Finnland, das genau in diesem Zeitraum Schäden aufwies. Am 22. Februar stellte die deutsche Polizei bei einer Kontrolle am Nord-Ostsee-Kanal fest, dass der linke Anker samt Kette fehlte.

So wie das aussieht, nutzt das russische Unternehmen von Putins Oligarch Oleg Deripaska seine Schiffe auf der Route zwischen Irland und Russland nicht nur für den Rohstofftransport, sondern auch als perfekte Tarnung für verdeckte Sabotageoperationen gegen die globale Internet-Infrastruktur.

I no longer understand the so-called civilized world.

Another massive russian missile and drone attack on Ukraine.

🛑 Kyiv: 4 killed, 50+ injured, including 3 children.
🛑 Dnipro: 6 killed, including a rescuer, 36 injured.

Where is the world's outrage?

The First Minister said that her party recognises that reforming Stormont won't resolve all the issues we face, and also hit out at "those who simply don't want to share power." https://t.co/TVmLz8k2I9

What an arsehole

[Heidi Bachram @HeidiBachram]

Pro-Pal goes to the British Ministry of Justice and rants at disinterested security staff comparing Israel to the Nazis. These people are half clown half racist.

[Dr Jane Mahony @JaneMahony]

If Ireland boycotts the Nations League it will likely be excluded from @UEFAcom and heavily fined. The result will simply serve to isolate Ireland not Israel. The losers will be the FAI, the Irish soccer team and Ireland's international reputation @dfatirl

[Rory Hanrahan @RoryHanrahan5]

Hume then laid out the damning statistics of murder.

Up to late 1988: people describing themselves as Irish republicans had killed six times as many people as the British Army, thirty times as many as the RUC, 250 times as many as the UDR – and twice as many Catholics as the security forces had.

The IRA wasn’t resisting injustice. It was the injustice.

Was it O’Casey who said: ‘The gunmen are not dying for the people, the people are dying for the gunmen’?”

Ireland claims neutrality, but then 100% supports russia economically. Something will need to change.

[Gavin Robinson @GRobinsonDUP]

This is extraordinary;
SF support Paul's Bill
Table it in the Executive

And now condemn it - because of their own pressures.
Dont be fooled.

Nicola Sturgeon has moved to England! After an entire adult lifetime dedicated to breaking up the United Kingdom, Sturgeon should be banned from England, Wales, and Northern Ireland. https://t.co/f5Jeeq1reQ

[Give A Shit About Nature @giveashitnature]

A "dove release" at a wedding or funeral is a death sentence for the birds.

The white "doves" sold for releases aren't doves. They're domestic white pigeons bred to be small and pretty, with no survival skills outside a coop.

The cheaper DIY versions (Ringneck Doves, King Pigeons) can't even find their way home. Nearly all of them die within days.

Even professional releases with trained homing pigeons lose birds every time. Hawks take them in the air. Cars hit them when they land exhausted. They collide with windows. There are lots of ways it can go sideways for them.

Rehabbers pull them in with broken wings, raging trichomoniasis, and bodies so emaciated they can't stand. One described a release pigeon whose throat infection had hardened so completely it distorted the shape of his skull.

There is no version of this where the birds "fly away and live happily ever after." That's the marketing. The reality is a domestic animal traumatized or killed for a 15-second photo.
