@LeeHarris They are waiting for the May council elections before they do anything! Absolute bunch of clowns 🤡

I can't believe what I've just watched. Here is the colossal cretin Yvette Cooper, clearly explaining that the UK and our allies are under *direct attack* from Iran. She then proudly keeps repeating that we will not get involved in offensive action. This is absolutely INSANE!

SAS Soldier talks about Northern Ireland

So the Starmer bashing continues. Laura Kuenssberg writes and Chanel4 makes a documentary both about how unpopular Sir Keir is. They really are afraid because actually he is popular with most thinking people. #standwithKeir #TenYearKeir

Much like Hannah Spencer blamed @GoodwinMJ for the Manchester Arena bombings, Matthew Wright blamed ‘people like’ me who talk about Islamism for why the British public are fearful of Islamism.

This is an incredible statement from a British Foreign Secretary. Literally acknowledges our interests, allies, global partners, global shipping and the wider Middle East are under direct attack from a hostile state. Then emphasises we will not take offensive action to deter it.

Oh Dicky, you really are the gift that keeps on giving. 😂 🇮🇱

@novaramedia @KNEECAPCEOL

"Irish and Cuban solidarity is something that goes back a long time." @KNEECAPCEOL speak in Cuba as part of the Nuestra América Convoy.

The Muslim population in the UK is about 7% so I fail to understand why they are so dominant in British politics. For a religious minority they appear to dominate the way our country should be run. Imagine what it will be like as that percentage keeps rising.

The UK version. Neither of these women know what a woman is until she has to cover her hair.

BBC Ni are now just an embarrassment 🙈 the reason why nobody watches the BBC Ni News and the reason why few people watch Sunday Politics or The View from a PUL background. GMU had to apologise recently to Gregory Campbell for inaccurate reporting. Darran Marshall takes every opportunity on X to demonise the PUL community and here the Donegal Boy tries to demean not only ELP but here position in the Executive by asking absolutely nonsense questions! #bbcnationalist

Did Stormont Ministers travel to the Washington in business class? @endamcclafferty asked the dFM about the value for money of sending four Stormont Ministers to the US during a cost of living crisis. The dFM said it was value for money and she attended 15 events in 4 days.

BBC Journalist trolling another Unionist politician…. Just checking (so far no result) on any other form of similar approach on any other variety of politician… Ignoring of course that @BBC has large bureau in Washington and this ‘trolling’ could have easily been down the line.

@newsoncool @sinnfeinireland @GerryAdamsSF Look at the picture. The Old Bailey Bomber, a convicted bomber who wet herself when captured, a cash & carry bomber and in front of the picture of another convicted terrorist. And Gerry wasn’t in the Ra. Ahh right!

🚨BREAKING: Gerry Adams welcomes end of 'case that should never have been taken' and has 'nothing but sympathy for claimants'. 🗣Former @sinnfeinireland President @GerryAdamsSF has welcomed the “emphatic end” of a High Court damages claim against him by three victims of Provisional IRA bombings, saying the case “should never have been brought”. 🎤Chief Reporter @jamesgould23 was in Belfast. On the final day of a two-week trial, lawyers for the victims said the claim against the former Sinn Féin president had been “discontinued” with “no order as to costs”. John Clark, a victim of the 1973 Old Bailey bombing in London; Jonathan Ganesh, a victim of the 1996 London Docklands bombing; and Barry Laycock, a victim of the 1996 Arndale shopping centre bombing in Manchester, had sued Mr Adams for £1 in damages. The case centred on allegations he was a leading member of the Provisional IRA at the time, including on its Army Council. Mr Adams told the court in London he had “no involvement whatsoever” in the bombings and was never a member of the Provisional IRA. His lawyers argued the case should be thrown out as an abuse of process. After a delay to proceedings on Friday, Ms Studd told the court the case would be discontinued after “developments overnight”. She said the development was “related” to arguments around whether the claim was an “abuse of process”. The judge, Mr Justice Swift, said: “I am happy to make an order in the terms the parties have agreed.”

That settles it then. Gerry Adams isn’t in the RA but Paolo Nutini is.

You have to give Alliance members credit for ignoring there esteemed leader and tweeting at all hours demonising the PUL community and especially its elected representatives. The very community that they will rely on to keep their seats in the upcoming Assembly elections. #itmustbethenamedonnelly

You have to give the DUP credit for consistency: one of their most sacrosanct traditions as a party is regularly being lured by snake oil salesman, and it is a tradition they will never forfeit, no matter how much damage they cause to the people they represent on the way.

It’s really abject humiliation for Adams and PIRA. It won’t be reported that way, but what a complete defeat it is, as an IRA leader, to be so owned you can’t even say you were in it; to have to condemn what you did; and call your buddies liars, just to get by. A pathetic figure.

Lord Hermer's False Equivalence and the Week That Proved Timothy Right Lord Hermer, the Attorney General, is a Jewish man. Today he asked whether Nick Timothy would object to a Jewish prayer event in public, suggesting that Timothy and Badenoch only had a problem with Muslim prayer. It was a clever intervention. It was also a dishonest one. And Hermer knows why. The Adhan declares there is no god but Allah and Muhammad is his messenger. That is a theological repudiation of every other faith, including Judaism. It is not private devotion made public. It is a declaration of exclusive religious truth projected into shared civic space. A Jewish prayer in public contains no equivalent assertion. The Nicene Creed begins I believe. The Adhan begins there is no god but. The distinction is not subtle. It is the entire argument. Hermer, as a trained lawyer and a Jewish man, understands it perfectly. He has chosen to ignore it because the government he serves needs the question closed rather than answered. That is the week in miniature. Nick Timothy named something accurately. The Prime Minister reached for Tommy Robinson. Thirty six Labour MPs wrote to the Parliamentary Commissioner demanding Timothy's investigation. The Attorney General deployed his Jewish identity as a shield. And the Parliamentary Commissioner rejected the referral, which means the government's most powerful legal officer spent political capital defending a position that collapsed within hours. Meanwhile the actual week unfolded. Thousands gathered on the Embankment chanting death to America and death to Israel. Bobby Vylan led chants of death death death to the IDF, cleared by the CPS last year, back on a London stage doing it again. The Islamic Human Rights Commission, named in the Walney report as part of Iran's soft power network, addressed the crowd. Khamenei's autobiography sold for seventeen pounds a copy. The Metropolitan Police closed Lambeth Bridge and deployed marine units on the Thames. It was, we are told, a normal Sunday. Charles Moore noted this week that Jesus himself addressed the question of public prayer in the Sermon on the Mount, warning against praying in public to be seen by men rather than to commune with God. Nick Timothy, citing the former extremist turned scholar Ed Husain, pointed out that the total Islamisation of public space is an expression of power and intimidation, and that the domination of shared civic spaces comes straight from the Islamist playbook. Both are right. Neither has been answered. Both have been accused of Islamophobia. The most significant unreported story of the week comes from Rakib Ehsan's new Policy Exchange report. British Muslims hold warmer views on Iran than on Saudi Arabia. They hold warmer views on China and Russia than the general public, despite both countries having histories of persecuting their own Muslim citizens. The UAE has restricted state funding for its citizens seeking to enrol at British universities over concerns they will be radicalised by Islamists on campuses. Arab Muslim states are alarmed by what is happening in British institutions. The British government is busy investigating the people who say the same thing. Hermer asked whether he as a Jewish man would be welcome praying in public. The answer is yes. The question nobody in government will answer is whether a Jewish man would be welcome leading a crowd in chants that repudiate Islam as false, in Trafalgar Square, with the full support of the Mayor of London and the applause of the Prime Minister. That asymmetry is the argument. It has been the argument all week. And the Attorney General, who knows exactly what it is, has chosen to answer a different one. "[Lord Hermer] asked whether Nick Timothy would object to a Jewish prayer event in public, suggesting that Timothy and Badenoch only had a problem with Muslim prayer. It was a clever intervention. It was also a dishonest one. And Hermer knows why."

@EdwardJDavey, you have misread the argument so comprehensively that one has to wonder whether it is deliberate. Nobody is objecting to freedom of worship. Nick Timothy did not say Muslims should not be allowed to pray. He said mass ritual prayer in a shared national civic space is an act of domination, and cited the former extremist turned scholar Ed Husain, who has spent his career documenting exactly this phenomenon. The Adhan, the call to prayer, declares there is no god but Allah and Muhammad is his messenger. That is by definition a theological repudiation of every other faith. When projected into Trafalgar Square, a national memorial to British sovereignty and independence, it is not equivalent to a celebration. It is a declaration. The distinction is theological, not political, and it is precise. You invoke freedom of worship as though Timothy had called for mosques to be closed. He did not. You invoke British values as though observing that the domination of public spaces is straight from the Islamist playbook is somehow un-British. It is not. It is documented, sourced and supported by scholars who have spent decades inside Islamist movements. This week, thousands of people gathered on the Embankment chanting death to America and death to Israel. Bobby Vylan led chants of death death death to the IDF, cleared by the CPS last year and back on a London stage doing it again. The Islamic Human Rights Commission, named in a Lords report as part of Iran's soft power network in Britain, addressed the crowd. Thirty six Labour MPs wrote to the Parliamentary Commissioner demanding the investigation of a man for pointing out what every serious student of Islamism already knows. The Attorney General deployed his Jewish identity to defend a declaration that, by its own theological logic, repudiates Judaism. And your contribution to all of it is a tweet accusing people who raise these questions of stoking fear, hatred and division. You lead a party that voted consistently to keep Britain in the European Union against the democratic will of the British people. A party that has positioned itself as the political home of progressive appeasement, that has never met an Islamist grievance it would not accommodate, and whose response to every act of cultural intimidation is to accuse those who name it of bigotry. The Liberal Democrats have no record of defending British values under pressure. They have a record of redefining British values to mean whatever is least likely to cause offence to the most vocal pressure group in the room. Freedom of worship is indeed a fundamental British value. So is freedom of speech. So is the freedom to observe, without being accused of racism, that a theological declaration of exclusive truth projected into a national monument is not the same as lighting a menorah or performing a Passion play. Nick Timothy exercised that freedom. The full weight of the parliamentary and political establishment descended on him within twenty four hours. That is the state of British politics today, Ed. And you are part of the problem, not the solution. "Nick Timothy didn't say Muslims shouldn't be allowed to pray. He said mass ritual prayer in a shared national civic space is an act of domination, and cited the former extremist turned scholar Ed Husain, who has spent his career documenting exactly this phenomenon."

Ladies and gentlemen I present to you a sectarian bigot from Louth! Just for the record Northern Ireland does have loads of US investment currently (just like the Republic of Ireland) in the service industry but we also export agricultural machinery, aircraft parts, aircraft seats, alcohol and many other products to the US 🇺🇸 It’s not a wasted journey and the POTUS is only a small part of what went on during the visit. There were loads of trade bodies and businesses represented at the meetings. Maybe if you haven’t got anything useful to say then don’t post complete rubbish!

Went to Washington, cozied up to Epstein’s pal, got lectured on Irish unity, and came back with nothing. Maith thú, @little_pengelly 👏

@SkyNews When lies are sold as the truth and when the liars create the illusion of truth. There was an alternative to terrorist violence (both Loyalist and Republican) and there was no justification for the death of three thousand people during the troubles
