I’ve heard it said that Northern Ireland’s economic decline is the result of the Troubles. But they themselves were the result of a rotten political system. And nothing exemplified this more than the office of prime minister of NI. THREAD.👇

How was Brazil able to count more than 100m voters for multiple elections faster than Israel is counting fewer than 10m votes for a single chamber?

Netanyahu’s victory says more about Israelis than it does about him. Media narratives will try and portray him as the great survivor of Israeli politics, when he is its great killer. A sick society that is the modern Sparta.

How this remorseless thug avoided a custodial sentence is beyond me. The English can never complain that they’re victimised in Scotland after this.

Pretty unhinged rant, singling out Ireland for criticising Israel while then going on to criticise Israel himself for not dealing with – in his own words – the settler terrorism problem.

Mbappé, Real Madrid and La Liga learning what Mesut Özil learned a decade ago – there’s a heavy price to pay for criticism of China. The same lesson Macklemore and others have learned when criticising Israel, BTW.

The Tone of Voice in all these outbreaks of teenage vandalism is identical across multiple jurisdictions. Because the far left looks bad as a result, they’re blaming the far right/ Mossad. Israel has no interest in destabilising 🇮🇹 and 🇩🇪. But Russia does, as it does 🇫🇷 and 🇪🇸.

Nothing against Kane, but how was he the best player in the world last season? He didn’t win the CL or World Cup, and scored just one goal in the last three rounds of the latter, a penalty in the round of 16.

Sad to see Dublin and Bray struggling so badly.

After the mindless looting in France and Italy, the agents provocateurs have moved on to Barcelona and Bilbao. It’s likely these are acts of hybrid warfare against Europe. But who is the foe hiding in the shadows?

Despite breathlessly tweeting about the election campaign for months, Glenn has yet to comment on the results. Must be taking it hard.

Algorithms are an endless assault on our sanity. It feel ls we’re like those chimps in 28 Days Later, being subjected to content that’ll drive us mad with rage.

Needless to say that those railing against Soros in the replies have diddly squat to say about Musk’s funding of the far right.

Thoughts and prayers for @ggreenwald 🙏😘

What a turn up for the books. Bolsonaro won 47% in the first round and all the stocking filler candidates were centre-right to right. It was his to lose.

Fuck me, it looks like Lula could just pull it off.

If Lula does win tonight, the fear of God will strike the Spanish right, and its already disgusting election campaign will descend into a stinking sewer of toxicity.

Vucic follows Orban out the door. Beautiful.

Amazing. Has to be a record.
