I don't think the North needs to listen to another complicit, self-serving, ex-Army opinion, ever. '“I was very pleased when the Legacy Act 2023 came in, perfect or not... There was no point in continuing this rolling persecution of people.”

Legacy debate must be removed from ‘cauldron’ of NI politics, urges former head of Army here

I've been combing through Reform UK's latest party accounts. Reform UK took more in donations in 2025 than Labour and the Lib Dems combined...twice over. £31.9 million in donations in a non-GE year. It's staggering. They spent a lot (over £21m) but banked over £10m. Reform's war chest = £11.9m

Governments can either support a democratic public media or they can stand by and watch their national democracies die. It’s that stark. Media regulation and policy can’t be pushed aside or down the political agenda. It is constitutive of the political settlement we live in. Act accordingly.

Excellent research that begs the following questions: 1. Why are OFCOM failing to act? 2. Why has the Online Safety Act, an abuser's charter, not been replaced? 3. What is the Secretary of State for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport, Lisa Nandy doing to sanction hostile actors and states? [1/2]

It’s 2 months to the day since the Belfast pogroms. It was a terror act carried out by two proscribed terror groups: UDA & UVF. Use the language: pogrom, ethnic cleansing, paramilitary attack, terror. Minimising it to ‘rioting’ or ‘violence’ lets UK Gov off the hook and facilitates whitewashing.

Pogrom

As the world looks on in horror at the effigies burned on the Moygashel bonfire in recent years - it’s important to understand that effigy burning in this place has a long history of violent provocation and asserting supremacy. [1/n]

Andy Burnham’ posts/opinions in the last few days 1) Stand up drinking in pubs 2) Devolution 3) Everton football club Things Andy Burnham has not commented on: 1) Toilet policing for trans people 2) Racist lynch mobs in Thetford 3) Drought and wildfires caused by climate change

The tactic of sharing a list of houses is straight out of the NI paramilitaries handbook and its spread to England is troubling. The police should really be looking to prosecute anybody sharing it with all the conspiracy and aiding and abetting charges they can think of.

NEW: Over the last few months, Meta has run dozens of paid ads that included AI-generated CSAM. The ads, some of which were linking out to “nudify” apps, targeted men in the US, UK, and a dozen European countries. Some were running in the last few days

Meta Ran Ads That Contained AI-Generated Child Sexual Abuse Imagery

More than 50 offending image and video ads were published across Facebook, Instagram, Messenger, or Threads, according to Meta’s ad library data. Some ran as recently as this week.

While Belfast is absolutely buzzing with all communities coming together during Fleadh, the same groups that incited the June pogrom are trying to incite violence again. PSNI did absolutely nothing & charged only 31 for the June Belfast pogroms - this is who they are protecting.

End Deportations Belfast@enddbelfast.bsky.social · 7d ago

There are around 15 - 20 disinformation sites and accounts in Northern Ireland. The PSNI have a duty to tackle these when disnformation is being used to incite violence. PSNI again are allowing known far-right hate sites to incite the next pogrom without intervention. Who are PSNI protecting?[1/2]

A conspiracy theory that "The Real IRA" are coming out of retirement, joining forces with Loyalist paramilitaries to ethnically cleanse Northern Ireland of migrants is doing the rounds on social media. And like would yis ever cop yourselves on.

An armed group declaring themselves as the 'New Republican Movement' have issued a Warning to Irish
Politicians:
"You have Flooded our communities with Military Age Men we will not sit back and watch our culture and religion
Destroyed by the people we put in power."

Word on the the street is that former UVF & IRA units are uniting to expel all Asylum Seekers from Ulster & the Republic! 9k -@irishpatriot91
The IRA, UDA and the UVF * *
The fight against the migrants has just begun.
I knew Ulster would unite, we fought in the North for 30 years for freedoms, we aren't going to let Islam destroy our communities.
To the Socialists who stand with Islam you are included in this. Stand in the way and well FAFO. Stand with Sinn Fein socialist party and you will leave on a boat with the Islamic invaders.
One more thing Islam invaders if you see this you will get a good lesson coming here. Good luck.IRA will be making announcements in the coming weeks as Ireland is at a tipping point. #ireland #ira #freedom #migration

"The Labour government has made a choice, one rooted in the patriarchy, to further police women’s bodies and exclude people who do not conform to arbitrary standards of femininity. ..we reject their Code of Practice and the colonial, misogynistic, sexist, and transphobic assumptions they employ" ✊🏼

The bar may have been on the floor, but this Labour government has still managed to crawl beneath it Labour's dangerous Code of Practice cements its place as the most misogynistic administration women in the UK have had to endure in a generation #DoNotComply

Irish News covers our FOI on this extraordinary meeting. This far-right group is comprised largely of National Front & neo-nazi linked individuals and target migrant properties on the North Coast. A recent human rights report highlighted the targeting an immigration law practice in Coleraine.. [1/n]

Northern Ireland council kept no record of chief executive’s meeting with far-right group

A council chief executive held a meeting with representatives of a far-right anti-immigration group without any agenda, terms of reference or minutes being produced, it has emerged.

oh look its /another/ study showing that youth transition has the lowest regret rate of any form of healthcare, so excited to see how this changes the political debate about whether we get to exist in public and have access to healthcare

"The majority (97.1%) of adolescents continued to identify with a gender not typically aligned with their birth sex. Only 2.9% reverted...None who initially identified as non-binary returned to binary gender aligned with birth sex. Discontinuation of gender-affirming hormones was rare."

Louise Ryan in 'Irish Nurses in the NHS' takes testimonies from Irish nurses in the NHS. There are stories of patients in England who refused care from Irish nurses during the 'troubles'. Whether it's collective punishment or racism - toxic political discourse is a massive factor in this.

Stephen Baker@stephenbaker.bsky.social · last wk.

You’d be a hateful, despicable prick to your core to refuse care on these grounds. Your racism would be pathological. Whatever else was wrong with you, you would need your racism treated first. news.sky.com/story/nhs-st...

Meta has been boosting hostile far-right content on Ceuta, so much so that local far-right pages have been in overdrive to try to capitalise on monetised traffic. This means real-world harm for N.Ireland as far-right target more and more racialised minorities for engagement. Nothing from UK Gov.
