Farage insists the £5m gift he received from a Thai crypto billionaire was legal, saying: “There is no obligation to declare something that is a non-political, personal gift, and it will ensure I can be safe for the rest of my life.”

"I’ve said it here often – Northern Ireland is an economic, political and social basket case.
"One cannot administer an effective government through photo-shoots and press releases.
"A society emerging from conflict needs to be led by people mature enough to recognise that co-existence is not reconciliation. In fact, it’s stagnation and those who suffer are the public."

My house when we heard that epically corrupt sanctimonious and self-righteous former FBI Director James Comey was arrested!

A very important message from John Dallon Farmer - We must all buy Irish Beef, we dont need beef from other countries!
As the EU-Mercosur Interim Trade Agreement enters into force today (Friday, May 1).
The trade agreement will allow an additional 99,000t of beef from Mercosur countries to enter the EU at a reduced tariff rate of 7.5%, which will be phased in over six years.

The list is long, but surrendering the Chagos Islands was one of the worst decisions Starmer made as PM.
Defence spending has to rise. So today I’m announcing that we would spend that money on building British frigates faster.
That’s how we build a Stronger Country.

Scrap the Chagos Islands Surrender. Use that money to boost the delivery of Royal Navy frigates. That’s what the Conservatives would do. Vote Conservative on 7 May 🇬🇧

@MrRCain2 @bbctheview @MarkCarruthers7 @ClaireHanna Because you will put UK ministers in charge and that could very well be Reform… naive to think anything would improve without Assembly- even more naïve to believe - this or the next UK Govt will call a border poll.

@TKbytesback @bbctheview @MarkCarruthers7 @ClaireHanna No it isn't well said. Nothing of consequence has been delivered for Irish Nationalists and Republicans. So, why continue something which isn't delivering for Irish Nationalists and Republicans?

"I think it's irresponsible and ludicrous frankly."
Brian Feeney wrote in the Irish news recently saying Stormont's time is up, does he have a point? @MarkCarruthers7 asks @ClaireHanna

🚨 HOLY SMOKES. President Trump is now considering withdrawing troops from SPAIN and ITALY — on top of GERMANY
"Why SHOULDN'T I?"
"Italy hasn't been any help...Spain has been HORRIBLE."
"When we needed them, they WERE NOT THERE."
Trump is DONE with useless allies 🔥

@mullallyelaine No decent establishment should host them… but where’s the proof this even happened?

PUBLIC MEETING CANCELLED!
We cannot allow cancel culture to continue in Ireland. The NGO’s or whoever is responsible for threatening the staff of the hotel should be prosecuted! We are supposed to be living in a democracy where free speech is valued, well we have witness that over the past 10 years that’s not the case. This meeting will go ahead, but 2 hotels cancelling out of fear is not good enough.
Thanks to John Dallon for sharing this with me!

Mr Feeney was my next door neighbour growing up in north Belfast. I can assure you he has never minced his words! What do you make of what he is saying? Spot on? Way off the mark? Somewhere in between?

'It's time for Sinn Féin to give up on this failing assembly' Irish News columnist Brian Feeney believes something needs to change ahead of the next assembly election in 2027. It follows Sinn Féin's ard fheis at the weekend, which saw senior party figures calling out the DUP. Feeney says the party underestimates the DUP’s 'fear and loathing' of them.

This is a genuinely disgraceful thing to say days after the Dunmurry attack.
Abandoning this place to London rule won't hasten unity but it will punish ordinary people for DUP/SF failure.

This is a worrying but justified line of argument. The Good Friday Agreement institutions aren’t working - principally because of the DUP’s obsessive negativism. What’s the point in keeping them?

The most vaccinated place in the world is in Ireland.
It's a place called Waterford.
They had the highest vaccination rate in the world.
Then they suffered the highest Covid rate in Ireland.
And then they had the highest excess deaths.
The local health authority got an award from the World Health Organisation for the way they handled the pandemic.
They had the highest death rate, having had the highest vaccination rate. 85% excess deaths at one stage they were on.

@danwootton Why do the newspapers not report on this if its true dan? I mean if this had been any other prime minister you can be sure it would be wall to wall coverage surely 🤔 how do you know its true 🤔 genuine question

This is a complete lie.
Lady Victoria Starmer no longer resides in Downing Street with the children, is more miserable than she’s ever been, and wants him out of the job ASAP.
I feel sorry for her being used as a political tool based on a fantasy.

🚨 WATCH: Keir Starmer reveals his wife Victoria is encouraging him to stay on as Prime Minister "I confide in her all the time. Hers is the best advice. I'm just thankful that I've got her everyday"

Kimmel’s hateful and violent rhetoric is intended to divide our country. His monologue about my family isn’t comedy- his words are corrosive and deepens the political sickness within America.
People like Kimmel shouldn’t have the opportunity to enter our homes each evening to spread hate.
A coward, Kimmel hides behind ABC because he knows the network will keep running cover to protect him.
Enough is enough. It is time for ABC to take a stand. How many times will ABC’s leadership enable Kimmel’s atrocious behavior at the expense of our community.
