@IrishTimes As a unionist, a united Ireland wasn't looking half bad there - economic benefits, escape the Tory hellscape that is the UK - then you think with this, it might just be swapping one set of neo-liberal arseholes for another.

@neilojim1972 I always loved this fact - it's the preface to Bardon's 'Plantation of Ulster', what a way to open!I always loved this fact - it's the preface to Bardon's 'Plantation of Ulster', what a way to open!

@SoozUK Yh

@squinteratn Everyday, it's harder to identify as a political Unionist in NI. Perennial problem of Unionism though.

If Matt Hancock would rather go on I'm A Celebrity than serve his constituents while being paid lots of money to be an MP, he should face an immediate by-election. Against me. RT if you agree.

@Briansmyth99 £ 15 minimum wage = financial disaster and inflationary crisis. Putting literal billions into the bank accounts of the 1% = economic growth. It takes a brass neck to be fair, well that and the usual UK client journalism.

@_save_ukraine_ I always think when I see this , what was every other man in the room doing.

@somaticon Unfortunately, there appear to be quite a few in Starmer's front benches as well. Most notably the Shadow Health Secretary, Wes Streeting, who accepted a large sum of money from a donor connected to the US company United Healthcare.

@jayneb64 @helenmallam 100% agree. I think it's such a massive factor in educational progress yet it's barely ever really discussed in any meaningful way.

@mlchealth Children are less infectious? What information is that assertion based upon?

[Gareth Bond @Belfast1613]

@mrdavidrowe These are unreal. Really, really amazing. I was trying to work out why the characters who got halos got them - thought it was elves and Maia, but Legolas doesn't have one.

[Gareth Bond @Belfast1613]

@Briansmyth99 Absolutely gutted for you lad. You ran a super positive campaign and gave us a bit of a glimmer of real change in the East. Chin up, lots to be proud of.

[Gareth Bond @Belfast1613]

@supertanskiii The fact the term 'hard-left' is being used by a person who describes themselves as a left and is probably in agreement with many of the policies of the prior manifestos shows how deep Tory propaganda has penetrated. The Overton Window has truly moved.

[Gareth Bond @Belfast1613]

@williamcrawley Bizarre statement this. With any chance of Britain getting a moderately left wing government now thoroughly destroyed I thought the BBC would let up a bit. Obviously not.

[Gareth Bond @Belfast1613]

@SiobheanG I mean, that is a very handsome fox.

[Gareth Bond @Belfast1613]

@Angelinekking As teacher. Every single word of this.

[Gareth Bond @Belfast1613]

@bhearnon @squinteratn @martyducati851 I absolutely understand this argument. But Belgium also perhaps didn't have to reconcile it's self with a large minority of it's country that had a very different interpretation of the war - and that the very peace of the nation relies on building bridges across those views.

[Gareth Bond @Belfast1613]

@FrenchHist @GOP I'd like to see how those lessons pan out. I mean as a History teacher it's hard not to to get the message across that the Nazis weren't a great bunch of lads.
