Labour is quietly preparing to surrender Britain’s hard-won independence back to Brussels. We didn’t spend years winning regulatory freedom just to become a rule-taker again. 250 years after Adam Smith, their 'EU reset' is nothing more than a managed decline 🧵👇

The @FA Football Association wants to mandate that 1 in 4 football coaches come from a Black, Asian or other minority background. As the saying in football goes, this is utter woke nonsense. The game’s gone. Fans don’t care what the coach looks like. They just want the best person for the job, based on merit alone. That’s what gets results. Not tokenism. I’ve written to the FA urging a rethink. I’m happy to help them draw up a fairer policy. Let’s kick racism out of football, including anti-white racism.

@SuellaBraverman Well, do you remember when your fellow #brexiteers promised 'sunny uplands'? Maybe it's the weather trying to tell you something? But then again, the child of emigrants hating emigrants says a lot about you!

@declanganley @SeanFionn You do know they died because the British political system had it in for people who were treated with contempt. The same linage continues to kill Palestinians today and refuses refugees a haven of safety. Ganley you would have supported the Crown!

In my village church of St. Bernard’s, Abbeyknockmoy, is a long list of the names of parishioners who died of starvation during the famine. I will make a point of listing them all here in a future post. The Great Hunger still leaves a deep wound, my province, Connacht, was hit brutally hard by it.

A starving Irish family from Carraroe, County Galway, during the Famine (1845-1852).... Between 1845-1852, Ireland endured one of the most devastating humanitarian crises in modern European history. The Great Famine was triggered by potato blight (Phytophthora infestans), which destroyed the staple crop relied upon by nearly one-third of the population for survival. The consequences were staggering. Around 1 million people died from starvation and disease, while another 1 to 2 million emigrated, many aboard overcrowded “coffin ships” bound for North America. In counties like Galway, entire communities collapsed as food systems failed and relief efforts proved uneven and often insufficient. At the time, Ireland was still part of the United Kingdom, and food continued to be exported from the island even as rural families faced extreme deprivation, a fact that remains central to historical debate about responsibility and response. The famine permanently reshaped Ireland’s population, which fell by over 20% and would not recover to pre-famine levels for more than a century. The Irish diaspora created during the famine years led to cities like New York and Boston developing Irish populations so large that, by the late 19th century, Irish-born residents made up over a quarter of their inhabitants. © National Library of Ireland #archaeohistories

@DaraghToner There's nothing like being dictated to by a Gowl who is afraid to face the electorate!
