In today’s news…

Delighted to share that I will be joining the crew at @CNN in their London bureau from next month.

A huge thank you to everyone at both the @IrishTimes and @JOEdotie for affording me the chance to kickstart my career in journalism, and hopefully we’ll have the chance to work together again soon.

Can’t wait to get started and see where this opportunity leads!

Did any major newspaper report on the £600,000 they raised for various charities last month?

“We didn’t have a problem with the Strait of Hormuz; that was created by the war that the U.S. Trump administration launched. So they have created a problem, and it is their main responsibility to sort out the problem that they created”— tells me @carlbildt

We must build trust to secure a permanent ceasefire.

Spain fully supports the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz.

Lebanon must be included in this ceasefire.

Around 1,900 candidates sat the state-certified Irish-language exam in the 2021-22 academic year. In 2024-25 the number was nearly 40% higher https://t.co/pTt2umoWa5

So tonight’s seat was a little bit special…. @Arsenal

«The New York Times» no tiene 2.300 periodistas por sumar 12 millones de suscriptores, sino que suma 12 millones de suscriptores porque tiene 2.300 periodistas. El matiz es importante.

@ESPNAssignDesk You do not have permission to use it — as I’ve told you numerous times in DMs. Shouldn’t have laid off all those reporters if you wanted locker room content.

"This nightmare and horror has to end as soon as possible."

Donald Trump’s State of the Union address was made for TV - or perhaps made for social media. @mikedubke and @robbymook joined me to unpack one of the most standout moments of the night, Trump’s attack on Democrats:

Imagine “not having even basic dreams.” That’s the reality for many Ukrainian children four years into Russia’s war on their homeland, according to @UNICEF Representative to Ukraine @MunirMammadzade.
