Such a tragic loss. A true champion
Ciara Mageean 1992 - 2026 🕊️
We are devastated to report that Ciara Mageean has died at the age of 34.
Last summer Mageean, who represented Ireland at two Olympics and stood on the podium at multiple major championships, revealed that she had cancer.
Her biggest victory came at the 2024 European Athletics Championships, where she secured the gold medal for Ireland in the 1500m.
A statement on her social media said: "At 6.30am this morning, Ciara lost her battle with cancer surrounded by her loved ones.
"A beloved daughter, sister, wife, friend and inspiration to so many, she will be deeply missed. Ar dheis Dé go raibh a hanam."

Well if you stopped talking like a member of the KKK and stopped dressing like a hobbit from Lord of the Rings, then maybe a woman would wanna shag you, mate.

“I think I can win a medal and the quickest way to get me there is come here and put it all on the line in Oregon.”
Spoke to @nickgriggs4321 about his move to the University of Oregon, where he'll have three years of NCAA eligibility.

"You can't neglect what makes you good in the first place, which for me is my speed."
In our October magazine, Mark English looks back on a summer that finally brought the 800m success he had been chasing for years 🇮🇪
The highlight came at the European Athletics Championships, where the 33-year-old struck decisively in the closing stages to win 800m gold in 1:45.26 🥇
English became the third Irish athlete to win an individual outdoor European title, following Sonia O'Sullivan and Ciara Mageean - and the first Irish man to do so ⚡

Suella Braverman on GMB this morning, yapping on excitedly about how she LOVES the British Empire, how her cousin comes over as an immigrant and how her family all benefited blah blah
Kate Garraway quips "So you're PRO immigration?"
Braverman laughs nervously "not today in 2026"
This is what we call pulling up the drawbridge.

Fool me once, shame on you; fool me twice, shame on me.
Fool me 4 times…. I’m an idiot.

This video encapsulates what sits at the heart of current right wing ideology on both sides of the Atlantic: I'm rich so I shouldn't be inconvenienced.
Whether it be paying taxes, or seeing people of a different colour to them in public spaces, they get angry when they encounter anything that doesn't go the way they think it should, because it usually does.
It's up to you whether you feel sorry for them but worth considering that they're not exactly known for feeling sorry for others

So let’s get this right Hegseth. You and your boss start a war against Iran without even informing never mind consulting your European allies, during which Iran seizes the Strait of Hormuz — which you’re now struggling to wrest back. And now you say it’s Europe’s fight rather than America’s.
No. You broke it. You fix it.

It's a reflection on the depressing state of our national discourse right now that the UK Prime Minister is doing The Great North Run to raise money for a homeless charity that helps over 14,000 people a year and his donations sit at just £3,233.
Meanwhile, a multiple convicted hard-right grifter has asked his gullible followers to donate because he used his mum's address to register his company, and those donations, which will go into his back pocket, are currently sitting at £66,902.
