A political cartoon titled "SCIENCE NOTE: A.I. EXCELS AT MEDICAL DIAGNOSES". In an examination room, a patient in a medical gown sits on an exam table. A small robot dressed as a doctor, holding a clipboard, tells the patient, "YOU HAVE A RARE CONDITION. NO WAY WILL YOUR INSURANCE PAY. YOU'RE HOSED."

Anyone in public life who does not understand what the Garvaghy Road means to every strand of the nationalist/republican community in the North does not deserve to be taken seriously.

Gavin, Carla, Jamie & Co are threatening to bring down Stormont, as if we care 🤷🏻‍♂️ It’s their prize, not that of the nationalist community. We want public services that work more than we want the house on the hill. Shooting themselves in the foot every time

There’s an entire generation of British politicians who’s entire worldview is made up of buzzwords and corporate jargon and that really doesn’t translate to places like Northern Ireland where politics is actually real

Here's Carla's opinion on a peaceful march for Palestine in Scarva, why can she not apply her own words to Garvaghy Road?

Just to fully underline how spiteful this shit is for those unaware: On the left is the route the Orange Order have been ordered to take for the past 3 decades without trouble. On the right is the route that has brought hundreds of cops to Drumcree. The only motivation is sectarian antagonism.

Your regular reminder: If the Russians stop fighting, the war ends. If the Ukrainians stop fighting, their land will be occupied, their leaders will be killed, their history and language will be erased, their children will be kidnapped to serve Russia.

Ms. Rachel: "Ed Sheeran had an opportunity…Instead he caved to people who refuse to accept what the world knows." "If more than 20,000 white children were killed…everyone would be shouting…Treating some children's lives as less worthy of outrage is racist. Silence during a genocide is not neutral."

Ms. Rachel post:
"Ed Sheeran had an opportunity show that we won't be bullied into punishing people for supporting Palestine. Instead he caved to people who refuse to accept what the world knows. A genocide is happening in Gaza. We all need to speak out against it.

"If more than 20,000 white children were killed in another part of the world, everyone would be shouting about it at their concerts. Treating some children's lives as less worthy of outrage is racist. Silence during a genocide is not neutral."

If you remember this ad, that music is now playing in your head. For anyone who wasn’t there, it would be hard to describe what a phenomenon this daft ad was. It had the kind of success every oddball ad aspires to achieving.

Burnham behaved exactly as expected. British PM behaving as the state want him to is not surprising, but it’s worth noting what that really means in NI. Remember, loyalist paramilitary groups are not seen as terrorist, just helpful

I think you’re giving Reform too much credit. No thinking happens there. Trying to make sense of it is a waste of your time and energy, as well as treating them like a respectable group.

BBC’s coverage of Reform’s welfare plans is frankly bizarre. Headlines in Ten, leading on some radio networks. Reform are not even the official opposition and the plans have less credibility than Count Binface. Will BBC News do the same for Lib Dem and Greens policy two years out from an election?
