It’s never lost on me that these people believe sincerely that simply being non-white is an insult.

Un 🧶 sur la réalité et horreur de la Première guerre mondiale quand des milliers de réfugiés arrivèrent en Irlande pendant l’hiver de 1914. Archives des journaux de l’époque. Pour rappel l’Irlande n’était pas encore indépendante et le Soulèvement de Pâques aura lieu en 1916.

Thousands of Belgian refugees arrived in Ireland in the winter of 1914. I thought it might be interesting to go through newspaper archives, to see where around the country they went and how they were treated on arrival. A thread on that, for anyone interested. /1

Bridget met evil Daniel Cleaver at work. She met lovely Mark Darcy in a paddling pool as a baby and then again as an adult at Una and Geoffrey Alconbury’s turkey curry buffet. THIS IS CANONICAL STUFF FFS

WFH may be OK for the older generation, but for the Bridget Joneses of today it's a sham and a snare - and they'll never meet their Mr Darcy dailymail.co.uk/debate/artic…
BORIS JOHNSON: WFH means today's Bridget Joneses will never meet Darcy

BORIS JOHNSON: WFH means today's Bridget Joneses will never meet Darcy

If you are a professional woman like Bridget - who, in the stories, is a TV news producer - you have to think about the exorbitant costs of childcare, which have been steadily increasing.

Obsessed with this project in Northampton Station – they’re trying to collect a ticket to there originating from all stations in the UK. Surely some of you enthusiasts would travel there from somewhere random just to help them tick a box?? 🚆
A plaque that reads, “All Aboard to Northampton All Aboard to Northampton is a collection of train tickets from railway stations all around the UK to Northampton. Elliott Badger, Retail Travel Advisor, came up with the project and the station team at Northampton are fully on-board! The big challenge now is... can we complete the collection? White tickets represent tickets we are yet to collect... can you help us? Have you, or are you intending on travelling from any of the stations on these boards? Green tickets represent stations where individual tickets do not exist.”

Remember when Gary Lineker said the language on immigration from politicians resembles 1930s Germany? Remember the uproar because it was an absurd comparison apparently?

Let’s not allow this to be painted as anger from disenfranchised groups, it is hateful violence, it is criminal thuggery. And in Sunderland it means that disenfranchised and struggling people now have one less place to turn to.

This is pretty cool... The French men's GAA football team is going on an Irish tour at the end of next week to play 15-a-side against teams from Dublin clubs. It's a first in the French fédération history and they have Paris Gaels players on the team ! If you're around, please go and support them & help spread the word ! 🇫🇷 Schedule - Thursday 18th July (19h) : France vs. Portobello GAA (Leinster Road, Rathmines, Dublin) - Friday 19th July (17h30) : France vs. Na Fianna CLG (St Mobhi Rd, Drumcondra, Dublin 9) - Saturday 20th July (11h00) : France vs. Beann Eadair GAA (Balkill Rd, Howth, Dublin) 🇫🇷Ps this is all French lads who are playing the sport (not Irish lads abroad), quite a following for GAA in France even for people with no Irish family connection. They love the community/ family spirit as well as the game itself🇫🇷

It seems to me that the portrayal of the Labour win as shallow because of the vote share is misleading. This was a ‘get the tories out’ election. For different people that generally meant voting Labour, Lib Dem, Green or Reform. But in doing so they all knew they’d get a Labour government and did it deliberately. In reality even Reform voters actually voted for Keir Starmer to be PM.
