At the recent (hugely successful) Irish Fleadh & Féile in Belfast, a young rapper from a staunchly loyalist area performed to (mostly) Kneecap fans. The younger generation get it. Utterly. English journalists & politicians have completely missed it. As have @theresthistory.bsky.social! Utterly.

50 years ago, today, the british voted in the very first brexit referendum and this seminal single was released by 10CC. Incredibly, the song is still a favourite 50 years later while Labours anti EEC/EU stance has remained unchanged. Still Not in Love with EU? 🧵

Shocking new ONS statistics underline the urgency of the PM's focus on homelessness. c1,000 homeless people died in 2025. The 2nd consecutive year at that level. Most of these deaths were men in their 40s & 50s. Around a third were a direct result of drug poisoning. www.ons.gov.uk/peoplepopula...

Making the objections of Garvaghey Road residents to a parade that 11 people were murdered over, symbolic of the what a United Ireland would be like by those who are rolled out by the state media, over and over - as sensible voices, is some of the worst faith bullshit I’ve seen - & the bar is low

The exact number will likely never be known But multiple studies have converged around a similar figure: around 700,000 people died as a result of Musk “putting USAID through the wood chipper” (his words), of whom 500,000 were kids Picture 500,000 tiny coffins in a row: that’s MAGA/MAHA’s impact😢

Not many CEOs in this world would stay up until 5 a.m to help a homeless woman with better transportation than relying on walking long distances to survive. Nice #bike, seat, mirror, bottle holder, +. Sometimes it takes going that extra mile to help a fellow human. If that's what it takes, we do it.

There are only 3 possible paths: Continue as-is forever; Force the parade through; Secretary of State on public safety grounds either prohibits the parade, or amends/revokes the Parades Commission determination. None are good, and all because the PSNI and the PC will not admit they made an error
