@griptmedia @Ben_Scallan You expect a coherent answer from O'Beien?

“What do you attribute that to?”: @Ben_Scallan asks Energy Minister Darragh O’Brien how he explains the fact that Ireland has the highest energy prices in the EU after over a decade of investing in renewables.

Why does the media give nonstop coverage to a 16-year-old reading from a script, but completely ignore a real climatologist with over 140 scientific papers who calls climate change a hoax? This is media manipulation. 😡🤡 #MediaBias

@Sabiha1278 Yes.

I am literally shaking. Some teenager threw a rock off an overpass and did this to my truck. I caught him, and his dad had the nerve to say, "He’s just a kid being a kid, I’ll give you $50 for the 'inconvenience'." $50?? This is a specialized windshield with sensors! He told me I was "ruining a child’s future" by calling the police. I feel like he’s raising a criminal and expects me to pay for it. Do I press full charges?

@an_brasan I hope you are feeling much better and good luck with your project.

I've been fairly quiet on here lately. Partly because going back to work had to take priority. But mostly because I've been building something in the background. When I was diagnosed with cancer, I quickly realised that most support focuses on appointments, scans and treatment, and everything is spoken about in medical and clinical terminology that not everyone might be able to understand, especially in those circumstances. What nobody really prepares you for is everything in between. The waiting. The uncertainty. The fear. The practical reality of trying to keep living your life while carrying all of that weight So I built something. Between Appointments™ is a new project based on lived experience. Honest, practical support for people living with cancer and serious illness. For immediately after diagnosis, throughout treatment, and beyond. The website is now live and I hope to build it into a complete support ecosystem. readbetweenappointments.com If you think it might help someone you know, I'd really appreciate if you could share it. Everybody knows someone whose life has been affected by cancer. You can also follow the project on here @BetweenAppts And thank you again, so much, to everyone who reached out after I shared my diagnosis. The support was so much more than I ever could have expected, it helped me through some really tough times and I'll never forget it. This is my way of trying to give something back. My first appointment since chemo finished is next Tues, and I'll keep you all updated.

@Paulbritland1 @higgyboson @StAustellAdam 1/4

@higgyboson @StAustellAdam Spread bet on them separating within 6 months

The one winner from yesterday's by election is Victoria Starmer. She must be absolutely delighted that, in a few weeks, she'll no longer have to supply tea and biscuits to murderous islamic barbarians visiting no.10. She won't have to look interested when she gets dragged out in front of the cameras in an attempt to make her (cough) husband look like a typical family man. But above all, she won't have to demean herself by being used as a prop in a photo opportunity at such places as Auschwitz.

@mattvanswol @JohnMurphy51 Is he a doctor or an engineer?

🚨#BREAKING: It has been confirmed that the man who threw a 3-year-old toddler into a crocodile enclosure in the UK... ...HAS ALREADY BEEN LET OUT ON BOND!!!! The man is being described as 'mentally disabled' and police are STILL refusing to name him. Witnesses say the zoo owner's WIFE jumped 15 feet into the crocodile enclosure herself to rescue the child.

@ACSPARTAN1 Perhaps it is. He's being fully exposed.

Do we really need another rape gang denier in power ??? This is not how you drain the swamp

@LeilaniDowding @robertc77438249 Have they been deported? Nothing else matters?

A pair of council enforcement officers who caused outrage when they were caught on camera making disturbing threats to beat up a member of the public had been 'acting like gangsters for weeks', the Daily Mail can reveal. The two 'thugs in uniform' can today be named for the first time as Joseph Fernandes, 38, and Umar Siddiq, 30, both of whom have now been sacked by Harrow council over their aggressive conduct. The pair had attempted to issue a £100 fine to a terrified teenager they accused of spitting then angrily turned on a member of the public who stepped in to support her, saying: 'I'm going to knock you the f*** out and rip your teeth out.' Today the Mail can reveal the pair had been using intimidatory tactics to coerce members of the public into paying fines for supposed civil offences in the days leading up to the threat that got them fired. Among a series of incidents they are said to have snapped off one motorist's car key in the ignition to prevent him from driving away while they pressured him - and left a vulnerable elderly woman resident in tears by falsely accusing her of dropping litter before threatening to call the police if she didn't pay £100. The pair are also alleged to have had an animus against Hindus and Sikhs and to have mercilessly targeted members of both communities around the north-west London borough. Read more: trib.al/EltoOAD

@IrishTimes What does it cost to keep them here?

@CatholicArena What tf is that? Non-linear/binary/perpendicular?

IRELAND 🇮🇪 Politician Ruth Coppinger is bringing forward a bill to allow for an 'X' on birth certs for 'non binary' and 'intersex' people

@andrewlawrence Who's your man in the green dress?

By far the shittest production of 'The Wizard of Oz' ever attempted.

@OCallaghanJim @DeclanBurke2 Who paid for that? Them or us (as usual)

A further deportation flight left Dublin yesterday and landed safely this morning in Johannesburg, South Africa. There were 42 South African people on board who had received but not complied with Deportation Orders.

@OCallaghanJim Remember the Oyekanmis? All the south Dublin yummy-mummies and rugby dads were out protesting against their deportation. Well, it turns out once they arrived back in South Africa, they were deported to Nigeria. Can we have a follow-up story on them, @orlaryan in the @IrishTimes ?

@Suffragent_ 308 too many.

Green Party candidate for Makerfield, Sarah Wakefield, got 308 votes in the by-election 😂😂😂

@RomaniaMare1918 @andie1105 Derort her today.

3rd worlders are coming to Europe to get positions of authority and tell us what to do!!! This is Abir Al-Sahlani, an Iraqi member of the European parliament. She is outraged illegal migrants are being deported. She should be deported too!!!

Bertie Ahern says Elon Musk could avoid paying tax by claiming he won his trillion dollars on the horses.

@Neccccy They should be deported BEFORE they attempt it.

Yes or No?

Remember this? Simon's Fine Gael Election "promises" @FineGael
