Leo Varadkar is stepping down.

The Fine Gael parliamentary party shouldn't get to decide who the next Taoiseach is.

The people should.

It was painful for me to be Isolated by some people from my community
Some of them asked me to not come to their places because Israeli occupation may kill me and they don’t want to die and some stopped to stand with me and even I felt like they are ignoring me.

I completely…

Crisps with my toastie because Christmas. The safety and peace of where I live allows to me the privilege of these little luxuries. It was so quiet and cosy last night as I went to sleep. I cannot stop thinking about Palestine and the horror there this Christmas. Ceasefire now.

Thank you Belfast City of Music !

Looking forward to double-doubling down next year ;)

Very grateful to Arts Council of Northern Ireland for this award - I’ll be working alongside Moving On Music to take my little show on the road… Hopefully see you there!

How Labour whips dealt with the ceasefire vote is revealing. According to an MP:

“Some of the things colleagues were being told yesterday were that they didn’t need to vote for a ceasefire because they have 7,000 Muslim voters and could afford for to lose them and still win.”

I'm proud to live in my South Belfast constituency. I am not a member of any political party but I have an MP that I admire 100%. An immediate ceasefire is needed now. Thank you Claire Hanna .

This is a moronic take. Streaming is not the *only* way artists make back money on music. It’s the just the most corrupted one.

Humbug - whole pay structure needs turned upside down.

We’re playing at this as part of a great series of solidarity events put together by Irish Artists For Palestine

The world’s largest degrowth conference happened earlier this year. Lots of journalists attended but there were no stories. A leading degrowth academic said that journalists told her “my editor refuses to print any story critical of economic growth.”
