When the leader of the country has a warning placed on his post for telling porkie pies, maybe it’s time for a new leader?
The vast majority of people want Ireland to maintain our proud tradition of peacekeeping. Reforming the triple lock ensures our decisions on participation in peacekeeping missions are not dictated by a veto from Russia, China, or the United States.

Lula has beaten Bolsonaro in Brazil. Tomorrow, Netanyahu could lose the Israeli election. Next week, Trump’s Republicans could lose the House and the Senate. Reform UK have dropped to their lowest polling in years. Sanchez could win in Spain next month.

BREAKING NEWS: Donald Trump supporters claim an election is rigged because their preferred candidate lost. That’s never happened before… Thank Jaysus the majority of Irish voters haven’t lost the plot to this extent.
🚨 JUST IN: Alex Soros congratulates Lula on his "win" over right-wing Flavio Bolsonaro in the Brazilian presidential election "Congrats to Brazil for standing up against authoritarianism once again." BRAZIL IS AN OCCUPIED COUNTRY. Lula is the authoritarian and he should be prevented from stealing elections like this!

Feckin’ told you. Left wing presidential candidate, Lula has defeated right wing Bolsonaro against the odds in Brazil! What a comeback.
I’m calling the Brazilian election for Lula, though he’s trailing at the moment. Mystic politistic! 🔮

20 odd years ago Ireland had 2.5 effective parties. This poll indicates that we now have roughly 6.5 effective parties. Higher than the EU average. The level of fragmentation in such a small country is ridiculous. Independent Aontú, anyone? SDLP? People Before Green?… Wait

Seat projection based on Red C poll results. Government formation will be insane: FF/FG/AON/II: 86 seats (1 short) SF/SD/LAB/PBP: 77 seats (10 short) SF/FF/SD: 103 seats (16 seats clear) SF/FF/II: 93 seats (6 seats clear)

Do you remember that kid in school who used to tell the teacher every time anyone did anything and then wondered why nobody would play with him at lunchtime? Anyway, here’s a post from Alan Shatter. Totally unrelated for legal reasons.
I have today lodged a complaint with Comisiun na Mean about the politicisation of last nights Late Late Show & the dangerous, unchallenged, uninformed, platformed narrative of Beoga.

Step by step.
A good day for Ireland, where we seem to be emerging from the Cumbya approach to foreign policy we have long adopted, to begin facing the realities of a disordered world. RTÉ News: Legislation to remove Triple Lock passes Dáil vote. rte.ie/news/2026/1021/159627…

Fianna Fáil and Fine Gael politicians are in turmoil tonight trying to row in behind their leader by launching attacks against Sinn Féin. Oh no, please don’t highlight that Sinn Féin is against the incredibly unpopular decision to scrap the Triple Lock. Whatever will they do!

Fine Gael’s youth wing passed a motion calling on the government to apply for membership of NATO, by the way.
The world has changed - there is sadly no longer a multilateral framework in which Ireland can pursue peacekeeping overseas 🕊️ The triple lock gives a veto to Russia and China over Irish sovereign decision-making and shold be repealed 🇮🇪

Former DUP leader Jeffrey Donaldson who was recently jailed for sex crimes against children will be interviewed by London police over an alleged rape inside Westminster.

Incredible gaslighting by Fianna Fáil regarding the Triple Lock. Reform and removal are two entirely different things. If Thomas goes to the dentist with a bad tooth does he ask to have his tooth reformed? If not, keep your hands off Irish neutrality.
Fianna Fáil sought a mandate to reform the Triple Lock at the 2024 general election. We were elected as the largest party and put Triple Lock reform in the Programme for Government. We will progress the legislation this week, because it is in Ireland’s interests to do so.

You must be joking 😂😂 Mr. Bryson has spent the last month absolutely screaming about the “rule of law” until he was blue in the face and now it’s “yeah but…” Nationalists and republicans need to thank this man. He’s doing an incredible job for Irish unity 🤣
Everyone should abide by the law. But this was always an inevitable consequence when the PSNI bowed to the mob & nullified the parading regulatory framework.

LucidTalk is due to release a poll in the next week or two. Given the recent attention on Garvaghy Road and the sentence handed to former DUP leader Jeffrey Donaldson for sex offences against children, it is not unlikely that this will be the worst poll in history for the DUP.

Gavin Pepper proposes a genuine right wing stance on an issue and the majority of his comments disagree with him. People don’t want “right wing” politics. They want sensible policies on immigration, housing, taxation and the cost of living.
