Good, but not great, TV critic (he/him)


Tucker Carlson challenges The Economist’s editor-in-chief to define Israel’s “right to exist”









It's always possible for two seemingly similar incidents to have opposite outcomes. On-field call carries weight. If a ref does not give the Amad pen that is supportable. Giving the Evanilson spot-kick is supportable too. That's the subjective laws and VAR for you.

New York Mayor Zohran Mamdani namechecked James Connolly, Pádraig Pearse and Roger Casement in his St Patrick’s Day message. Mamdani also referenced the Dunnes Stores strike against apartheid South Africa, as well as Troy Parrott’s winner over Hungary. jrnl.ie/6988066




'I'm proud of the coalition's record' @ZackPolanski

“The owners of Gail’s invest hundreds of millions of pounds in companies killing people in Gaza, Iran and Lebanon.” I explain that criticising a bakery because its owners fund the Israeli arms industry is not, in fact, antisemitic 🥐

I was invited to appear on the Moral Maze this evening but then I learned that Ash Sarkar, a self-declared communist, would be on the panel. Having interviewed women who were taken from their homes in the middle of the night, pushed onto cattle wagons to be dumped in Siberia and others who were tortured or whose families were killed - all in the name of this ideology - I withdrew. Would the BBC have a fascist as one of their panellists? For me, a communist is no better than a fascist.
