Eamonn McCann is always razor sharp in his analysis of the North. Garvagh road is not a difference between ‘two communities’ that needs ‘both sides’ understood. It only benefits the DUP and hardline loyalists to force us to revisit a terrible time in the North. rebelnews.ie/2026/10/02/g...

This is a fun interview but about 8 or 9 min in she's asked very bluntly about the Ed Sheeran situation, and while she's carefully generous to him she's also very clear and plain spoken about it - not an easy thing to do live on such a big platform under studio lights

This guy started a war that's wrecking the world because he was high from the recent kidnapping he did, and thought he could do the same thing and wanted to look smart and strong. Said war can't end because he now has to save face and that's more important than ending it. That's it

The question for Nigel Farage now is whether it's less embarrassing to un-resign and claim that was an establishment stitchup, or to spend a month competing with a bin. Neither is exactly a *great* option. Neither solves his ongoing scandals. And it's a mess entirely of his own making.

The BAFTAs incident has done nobody any good. Lindo and Jordan were put in an awful position. Broadcasting the slur — whether down to BAFTA or the BBC — has opened Davidson, a brave man, up to endless moronic commentary from people who make no effort to understand TS.

one extremely clear thing about the BAFTA situation is that the BBC editing out 'free Palestine' and not the n-word is exactly the kind of clown-shoed institutional racism that makes people dislike the BBC

Maybe they could start by not posting on a racist website. If you look at their account stats on X: their posts normally get around 20K view. Their post about Edwin Edogbo got _7 milllion_ views. Organizations still there are opening their employees to racist abuse for publicity.

Genuinely think this coverage is worthy of formal complaint – and if the BBC doesn’t take it seriously, it should be escalated to Ofcom. The appearance of caving to the Trump White House, when the BBC is being sued, could be disastrous for public trust.

FF met for five hours on Tuesday over the Jim Gavin debacle - and ten weeks on, they’re still not satisfied with the answers. It’s important - but has there been enough political and media attention or urgency on housing, homelessness, security, energy prices, climate or the OTB? I argue “nope.”

A real test for politicians and gardaí. There's been a years-long campaign of arson/attempted arson at IPAS centres - even buildings rumoured to be considered for asylum seekers. We've had far-right instigated riots in our capital, at CityWest and Coolock; arson at TD's property... (1/2)

Every far-right riot and protest that was tolerated, every racist dog whistle from public reps, every bit of hate and misinformation allowed to spread by social media companies, all led to this moment in Drogheda last night where someone felt emboldened enough to try to burn children alive.

Glad to hear Richard is doing well - especially because he’s partly responsible for my “Noble Call” speech at the Abbey Theatre You see… The play The Risen People by James Plunkett had a three month run in The Abbey from Nov ‘13 to Feb ‘14, and the theatre invited a different person to “respond”…

IDF officers and soldiers told Haaretz they were ordered to fire at unarmed crowds near food distribution sites in Gaza, even when no threat was present. Hundreds of Palestinians have been killed, prompting the military prosecution to call for a review into possible war crimes

RESULT: Nicusor Dan, the centrist mayor of Bucarest, will be the next president of Romania. A big loss for the far-right: its candidate George Simion got 41% in round one, but didn’t grow enough, & turnout surging worked against him. Simion is down 54.3% to 45.7% with 96% reporting.
