.@Nigel_Farage "Pure cold rage" you asked for it. You got it.
A 72-year-old Sikh pensioner had his head stamped on. Cheekbone shattered. Six teenagers arrested.

Your words have consequences. Your silence is complicity.

Happy now? 👑

A public statue of Che Guevara in Oleiros, Spain.

The image of Che, one of the most reproduced images in human history, was created by Dublin artist @jimfitzpatrick

Che also had Irish ancestors, the Lynch's.

What a fitting tribute it would be to have one erected in Dublin.

Israeli Terrorist Regime can't defeat Hezbollah so they target Lebanese civilians instead. And still EU Member States continue to do Business with Israel...

[sarah @sahouraxo]

Israel just carried out another horrific massacre in South Lebanon.

Dropping massive bombs near Jabal Amel Hospital in Tyre — wiping out 3 apartment blocks full of civilians.

People are still buried under the rubble.

This is an American-backed, American-funded genocide.

Almost 2,000 academics and researchers have signed a letter saying the new €4.55 billion funding strategy of Research Ireland is too focused on areas that are “industry-centred, commercially-focused, and profit-seeking”.

36% of Unite members in GB polling for Reform. This isn't a failure of individual workers, it's in part a failure of political education in the movement. We stopped teaching class politics and this is the consequence.

[patrick bresnihan @PBresnihan]

Will wait to read the report (by KPMG) but the claim that Ireland 'risks losing 94k jobs' if we don't continue to build data centres reads like highly speculative FDI blackmail.

His one regret.

“Only that I wasn’t more explicit about the catastrophic effects of a capitalism and an abuse of power and the havoc that it has done, placing our planet at risk, responsible for so many deaths that would have been avoided.”

"It's baffling to me, how...it is controversial or contentious or objectionable that someone suggests...do you know what maybe let's not play football against them.

Maybe instead of playing a match against them, maybe let's not play a match."

Support #GoodJobsBill don’t let the DUP mug you of better rights at work…

[TrademarkBelfast @TrademarkBF]

The Good Jobs Bill is the biggest upgrade to workers' rights since the Good Friday Agreement. It tackles zero-hour contracts, strengthens union recognition & puts dignity back into work. There is no excuse for further delay. We're calling on all MLAs to deliver for the workers.

[patrick bresnihan @PBresnihan]

The Govt say it is necessary for continuing FDI, outside Ireland we're a basket case.

“The Irish case should be a warning for Europe: letting big tech expand data centres unchecked will have massive ripple effects on the economy and European households."

[BelfastTradesCouncil @BDTUC]

#GoodJobsBill under threat as DUP try to block it, attempting to act as a veto for business interests. These are basic protections workers have elsewhere, the @duponline cannot be allowed hold back better rights and supports for ordinary workers and their families. @NIC_ICTU
