What an outrageous tweet! This is the tweet of someone unfit to sit in Parliament. A pointless talentless grifting nonentity! Absolutely clueless
Pity the French did not show the same resolve in defending their sovereignty in June 1940.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
About 90,000–100,000 French soldiers were killed during the Battle of France (May–June 1940), when Germany invaded. Around 92,000 is the figure most commonly cited.

Also, it is performative tosh of the worst kind. Get a life and get real. And as if it makes a difference if there are sachets or larger bottles on the table.
This idiot is a presenter on GBeebies. He calls himself a journalist. He's a pointless talentless grifting idiot cosplaying as a journalist. A brexit supporting political activist who should never be taken seriously.

Who cares about the car industry, if I can't have little plastic sachets of ketchup then that's the most important thing in the world...
Privileged idiot.

The Late Late Show did a really good job remembering Ciara Mageean tonight.
She was due to be interviewed on the show about her book.
Lovely tributes from Ellen Keane, Thomas Barr and Greg Allen.
Posts like this sum up why this pointless talentless grifting nonentity, who cosplays as a journalist should never be taken seriously. That this man even has a job in journalism sums all that is wrong with journalism in this country ...
Environment Sec @angelaeagle says 'get a life' when challenged over EU ban on smoky bacon crisps in UK. Her casual attitude to EU nanny state interference sums up so much of what's wrong with our govt
The Nations Championship
Ireland v Argentina
This should be a cracking game of rugby. Ireland have some big names missing. And are in transition. Argentina bring flare. But discipline that's another matter

Journalists at the BBC, the UK’s troubled public service broadcaster have voted to accept a pay award of 1.5%, far below the rate of inflation.

🟦 CLEAN FEED | Buildings at RTÉ's campus at Donnybrook in Dublin have been evacuated due to a bomb threat.
The Gardai is currently searching the complex.
TV/radio is operating pre-recorded output for the moment, though Radio 1 is live from an OB unit.

Russell Brand is officially a rapist & sex abuser
The women who came forward should not be forgotten, it takes enormous courage to speak up
The passage of time does not erase the possibility of justice
This is about accountability, not celebrity
There will be others…

🟦 CLEAN FEED | Staff have been allowed back into buildings at the RTÉ campus in the last half an hour.
The planned 1pm TV news programme is now on the air and reporting on the bomb threats.
It's being reported that the e-mail threat was sent directly to the RTÉ Director General, Kevin Bakhurst.

I’ve worked with some fantastic journalists in my 29 years on the job. My pride at @Gabriel_Pogrund knows no bounds for example. But what @RosamundUrwin had to go through to get the Brand allegations past the lawyers and over the line is of a different order from anything I’ve ever achieved in this job. She is brave, principled, a great reporter, a beautiful writer and a gutsy human being. I am frankly proud to know her let alone call her a friend. The KC who lost his rag earlier should rot in hell

That's called joining the club ...
A club is stronger & more cohesive by making the appealing advantages & benefits for members far outweigh the costs of being outside the club, for non members

Would the solution not be to have absolutely NO barriers with our biggest market. You know, the one we have traded with for hundreds of years and in the last two decades before Brexit, unfettered and frictionless.

Read this message from Abdul El Sayed’s sister, Prof Adelhadi. The islamaphobia and racism this family has suffered because of Trump and his acolytes beggars belief. #USMidterms

We should take this warning seriously. It doesn’t mean that we should join a military alliance, just that we should be ready to respond to any threats that arise. irishtimes.com/ireland/2026/…

The comments from listeners on this programme about the closure of BBC Radio 4 Extra are truly heartbreaking.
We told you that we'd put your comments about the recent BBC cuts to someone at the corporation - and so this week on Feedback @acatherwoodnews is talking to Jonathan Wall, the Director of @BBCSounds, in Salford.
Hear the full interview on Feedback at 3.30pm on @bbcradio4 📻
