Bono’s politics are puddle deep. Should come as little surprise that he has - consistently - placed himself on the wrong side of history…

Micheál: “I get the crash. I was in government for the crash.” Mary Lou: “I know - sure, you were the author of it!”

Micheál going all Big Ian today lecturing that Irish republicans must “atone”… Sinn Féin is engaged in the work of reconciliation day and daily in the north. Micheál would do well to catch up with the times.

Fianna Fáil’s response to the housing crisis? “What mess?” 🤦‍♂️

“Good news - Mo Chara is a free man!” KNEECAP

Hits the nail on the head. As more &amp; more people turn towards Dublin, the SDLP finds itself stranded in Westminster. Worth noting that SDLP MPs can attend the Oireachtas GFA Committee. To be fair of the two former SDLP MPs - one of them had a good attendance record.

Fianna Fáil talk a good game about reconciliation, about building a shared island, about uniting the people… but every now &amp; then the mask slips. They see the North as a place apart. Partitionism has replaced republicanism within Fianna Fáil.

Clear &amp; confident pitch by Michelle O’Neill. Don’t doubt that the return of SF MPs remains *the* clearest message that can be sent to those holding power in Westminster. No remedy for the North can be found there. Change will only come about working together in the Assembly #bbctheview

Timothy suddenly went uncharacteristically quiet…

Leadership…

“If it’s a defence of Protestantism, why is it not needed in other countries where Protestants live side by side with Catholics…”

The new Rector of University of Glasgow Ghassan Abu Sitta, Chair of Conflict Medicine AUB finished his address with the immortal words of Bobby Sands MP… “Our revenge will be the laughter of our children.” 🇵🇸🤝🇮🇪

Sad to hear about the passing of Bonnie Greer. Never met in person but corresponded with her for short time following her notable intervention on QT during Brexit years. An important voice on the airways who called things how she saw them. “Ireland owes this country nothing…”

“Well isn’t it democracy in action?” Bizarre line of questioning from the BBC. Suspect it wouldn’t be asked of any other party.

A reminder of the leadership of republicans like Gerry Kelly and Bobby Storey during Ardoyne Riots in 2010 - visibly present and on the ground - prepared to call out senseless violence head on…

DUP can’t help but show themselves up 🤷‍♂️ #bbcqt

.Mary Lou McDonald delivering the perfect ‘au contraire’ to the idea that the people of the north of Ireland voted for Brexit 😚👌

Something to keep in mind whenever Gregory makes predictions…

It wasn’t a one-off. It’s a pattern. Arrogance. Condescension. Entitlement. On November 29 - you have the chance to spark an upset - to overturn 100 years of Fine Gael/Fianna Fáil Government. Change is possible. So make it happen. Vote for the only alternative. Vote Sinn Féin.

“The acquittal of Soldier F does not vindicate him, it indicts the system that was designed to protect him… the collapse of today’s prosecution was seeded in 1972, &amp; was fertilised for over 1/2 century by a British government &amp; British state that had no appetite for the truth…”

Giants of our movement

Pearse Doherty gives a run down of “the Star of the Moriarty Tribunal” who’s now been brought into the bosom of government. Gibraltar bank accounts… fake documents… burning papers… venal abuse of office… “profoundly corrupt to a degree that was nothing short of breathtaking”

Car-crash interview by Fine Gael’s Emer Currie today… stunned silence when told that first time buyers can’t get mortgage approval! 😳……… Was lucky that the presenter was there to rescue her!

“The fact that we’re now the largest party of local government, the largest party of the Assembly, and the largest party of Westminster - speaks to the fact, I think, that it’s time for change…” - @MONeillSF
