Reminder that the Guardian's discredited, false Luke Harding report on a Assange-Manafort meeting that never happened is still on its website.

Under the leadership of @KathViner, the Guardian has become host to a UK/US intelligence-backed network of neocon conspiracy theorists.

Still hard to believe that Predator is now 35 years old. Many thanks to all you fans for making it a classic.

No problem not confronting Saudi Arabia on their horrendous treatment of homosexuals and others in the state, but Michael Healy-Rae saying the phrase “airy-fairies” is homophobic. Give me a break https://t.co/P6W4kdW7pi

Friends, this holiday season, try to reach out to those who have little of no friends, no family, and no reason to cheer. They may be involuntarily stuck in a state of loneliness. They don't need your money; they don't need your gifts.
Maybe just a little bit of attention.

The British government must not permit the extradition of Julian Assange to the USA. The case is clearly political, and to surrender him to the US penal system would be to declare ourselves a vassal state of the USA, not a sovereign nation. Johnson surely knows this.

Bear with me for a second, it's going to get a bit meta with some analysis of analysis of the housing debate.

Out of nowhere, there is a real notable push right now from many commentators to push the narrative that funds are being "demonised"

Senior officials in the Dept of Housing pushed back against requests from Peter Burke, Minister of State for Housing, to find “flaws” in an ESRI report that said the state could prudently borrow billions for social housing

The one thing you can take from today is that when we @RightToKnowIE told you how broken the FOI system is, we were not exaggerating.

It is treated with contempt by multiple public bodies who see it as a nuisance that has to be managed.

Are members of Irish governments who facilitated America in devastating countries around the world by allowing Shannon to be used as a base, proud of what has happened in Afghanistan? If not close Shannon to US military.

Another classic example of the financialisation of housing in Ireland – and co-living through the backdoor.

- In 2020, the home was bought for €470,000
- Now renovated, it is back on market for €800,000
- Potential rent roll = €90,000 pa
- Potential yield = 11.25%

Two former top Fine Gael government advisers, acting on behalf of large funds, were behind the successful lobbying campaign that ultimately secured the exemption from the new rate of stamp duty for funds that lease to the state

Irish Times political reporter, Fiach Kelly appointed a special adviser to #leotheleak Leo Varadkar. He'll be paid by the taxpayer to the tune of an average of €102,000 but outliers are on €180,000.
