This is an *exceptional* piece of work, and ought to be borne in mind when looking at literally any online ragebait in future. A TikTok account that professed to be highlighting how 'illegal immigrants get free housing in London' was… well, not that at all. www.londoncentric.media/p/tiktok-lon...

Who's secretly filming fake TikToks inside Londoners' homes?

We tracked down the viral video account invading people's houses to spread false claims about immigrants.

I wrote this on the most consistently terrible, and fatal, idea in centrist politics today. On Fanta, rebadging, and why attempting to win votes from fascists is morally disgusting and politically suicidal. www.irishexaminer.com/lifestyle-co...

Séamas O'Reilly: Appeasing the far-right won't placate them — they'll just want the next cruelty

Their concerns are not about society, the economy or public safety, they’re an ever-moving target of fear and hatred that cannot be sated, it has to be challenged.

Bus journey times are: Down 25% in the morning on the north quays ↘️ Down 32% in the evening on the south quays ↘️ Thanks to the first phase of the City Centre Transport Plan. Dublin bus passenger numbers up 25% since pre-COVID ⬆️

Bus journey times cut by up to one third on Dublin’s Liffey quays, NTA says
Private traffic restrictions introduced last August improve bus reliability but transport body remains concerned about Dart times

And here's a version by photographer Graham Martin that we published in 2019.

A grid of photos showing decrepid doors of apparently vacant homes in Dublin interspersed with tents where people were living because they had no homes.

This is fascinating. The Greens' Ossian Smyth posted a June 2020 wishlist for government, and they've achieved much of it. Yet, the Greens could lose all their seats. It's a bit depressing.

Today is polling day in #GE24 Six constituencies have a risk of electing a far right headbanger to the last seat To avoid, I recommend No 1 to Dublin Bay North: John Lyons Dublin Central: Gary Gannon Cavan Monaghan: Pauline Tully Dublin NW: Rory Hearn Cork N Central: Mick Barry Galway West: pic

Best person to vote for if you live there: I mean, the best person to vote for here is Catherine Connolly. But if you are firmly anti-headbanger, you might put her 2 behind a candidate that could hold the last seat. Social Democrats' Niall Ó Tuathail was the underticket candidate below the
fight between the two FG candidates last time. This time l'd rank Labour's Helen Ogbu, SD's ClIr Eibhlin Seoighthe and Green Party Senator Pauline O'Reilly in whatever order you preferred.
Why them: If the transfers between them are strong, the last seat should go to one of them.

Eibhlin Seoighthe Donation Button
Helen Ogbu Donation Button
Pauline O'Reilly Donation Button

Is there a severe lack of ground game from all sides for #ge24? Have had zero canvassers since the election has been called, only a few (seemingly paid) leaflet drops

The political finance system in Ireland is actively hostile to accountability We need usable data And we need vendor-side transparency on election expenses - if Meta can do it, so can JCDecaux Me in the @irishtimes.bsky.social today www.irishtimes.com/opinion/2024...

Scanned, handwritten PDFs spread across multiple institutions is not acceptable in 2024 and does not enable accountability
