Superb political ad. One of the best you’ll see. This is better, and resonates more, than anything coming from Labour or the Tories.

Nessun Dorma. So for no reason at all. Fucking magnificent. Inject it to my veins Come on you boys in green!

I helped bring Mandelson down (twice). He was hiding in plain sight prospectmagazine.co.uk/politics/71049…

"I think all Labour members & all Labour politicians should be looking to support restrictions on Mandelsons behaviour... he's not a friend of the working class.. hopefully he'll have his responsibilities & his say curtailed" Some people have been calling our Mandelson for years

The time Mick Lynch called the Lab candidate in Islington North "a private health profiteer" & Mandelson told him thats a nasty & disgraceful thing to say & a complete untruth The host then interjects "he's an entrepreneur who's made money in private healthcare" Mick: "Exactly"

@fallon_donal A good Union man. Beyond heartbreaking he didn’t see out his shift and have a happy retirement. He talked about it often. RIP

RIP Noel. This is a gorgeous piece in his memory.

Poolbeg Lighthouse – Frank McNally on the death of a much-loved Dublin barman irishtimes.com/opinion/an-iri…

A true gent & one of a kind. Ar dheis Dé go raibh a anam.

Shocked to hear that Noel from Mulligan's has passed away. He was easily the funniest barman in Dublin. Always joking and having the craic. Poolbeg Street, Dublin and Ireland are a sadder place in his absence. God rest him.

Still sad though innit
