Andy Burns all hope in Britain

ANDY BURNHAM MUST RESIGN

Adam Bienkov@adambienkov.bsky.social · 3w ago

Man called Andy helps to burn planet earth - new Brit Prime Minister speeds up climate barbarism.

So Andy Burnham has repeatedly committed to sticking to Labour's 2024 manifesto, yet we're now told that his first major announcement will be breaking its commitment not to drill for new oil and gas in the North Sea.

English Lib-Dem leader Ed Davey leads the imperialist mob against Argentine soccer players bsky.app/profile/edda...

In August 2024 Rodri and Álvaro Morata were rightly banned for one match for singing “Gibraltar is Spain”. Now the Argentine players who celebrated with the “Falklands are Argentine” banner must be barred from the final.

Now the little clip is interesting. Do we support las Malvinas as Argentinian or as campists do we oppose it because of Argentina's neofascist government?

Leo Varadkar is right

"I think the Rape Crisis Centre spoke for me, and it spoke for a lot of people in the country. What messages does this send out to women? What messages does it send out to victims of rape and sexual assault? I think it was a big, big mistake on his part.” - Leo Varadkar on US Ambassador pub visit

"Effigy of the Irish language band Kneecap was placed on the Donegall Pass bonfire in Belfast yesterday. An Irish flag, a Palestine flag and a Celtic flag were also placed on the pyre. It is not the first time that loyalist bonfires have targeted the group" - BelfastLive Report. Defund Orange Order

Margaret Ward@marg50.bsky.social · 3w ago

More evidence that the Orange Order must be defunded. The Dublin government must stop bankrolling this racist, sectarian and misogynist outfit.

It’s hard to be shocked these days but this is a whole new level of misogyny and depravity.

Kerry beat Dublin in the 2026 Men's Senior All Ireland Semi Final because 3 umpire & ref mistakes gifted the kingdom nine points. Give Mayo a 9 point start in the final on Sunday July 26. Kerry must let Mayo score 3 uncontested goals in the first few minutes of the final.

Speak honestly about Ann Widdecombe

Anne Widdecombe was quite literally very racist and dedicated a huge amount of her career to the project of demonising refugees and migrants.

SF TD's oppose party Árd Fheis policy on a relatively small issue - crumbles to right-wing pressure over hare coursing - party will crumble worse on more important policies - for example closing the Aughinish plant helping the Russian invasion of Ukraine - or Shannon Airport rendition flights.

And in April, SF members voted a fox hunting ban into party policy, over a contentious debate. By July these issues are “by no means to the forefront” of the party’s priorities. The members set the policy. The leadership sets the volume. Wednesday, then. (4/4)

Tweed’s victims were silenced when he was cleared after four years on a legal technicality but in 2022 they would come forward..... Shortly after Tweed’s death, Mr Allister said he was “deeply saddened” and he expressed his “sincere sympathy to his grieving family and wide circle of friends”.

A victim of paedophile former TUV politician Davy Tweed has accused Jim Allister of “hypocrisy” over his demands that the DUP put “its cards on the table” over the Jeffrey Donaldson scandal.
