I don't normally publish conversations with Downing Street but this was my initial exchange with Downing Street's then director of communications over Mandelson failing vetting on 11 September last year.

A serious civil disturbance took place last week, war is raging in Ukraine and the Middle East, cost of living is out of control….and this is what Sinn Fein want to focus on. Anything but the real issues 🙄🙄🙄

These are the people the media should have been putting on. Hope Gannon and soc Dems took notes here.

This is the 2nd worst heave ever in Irish politics. If you're 24hrs into a heave and you have no one leading the heave or publicly backing the heave apart from John "toilet roll" McGuiness calling for a heave, it's not a heave. It's a farce.

Because wealthy areas are well organized, know exactly what they want, & they don't elect people like Gavin Pepper & 2 totally useless Shinners for the council share.google/DihltOpD4djL1I…

🇮🇹 The entire Italian Parliament rose to their feet to applaud as opposition member Elly Schlein praised her opponent Giorgia Meloni and His Holiness Pope Leo XIV for their commitment to peace 🕊

Peadar Tóibín believes women do not have the right to decide what they do their their body. He is no hero. Shame the media give so much promotion to the dinosaur. Ask why ?
