Keir Starmer says he will never withdraw from the ECHR because there is "no need" and Rishi Sunak did not disagree, despite it being the reason he failed to stop the boats. Nigel Farage says it's time to ask the people.

A Swiss girl has been been taken into care because her parents stopped her taking puberty blockers, breaching a ban on conversion therapy. Is this what Labour means by a "full, trans-inclusive ban on conversion practices"?

The West's headlong rush to jettison fossil fuels and hit 'Net Zero' CO2 emissions is impoverishing us while enriching China, which is ramping up its coal-fired industry to sell us all the 'green' technology.

'Populists' like Donald Trump and Nigel Farage are a "threat to democracy", chant the mainstream media. In fact, they are just reminding our politicians what they are supposed to be doing, says Prof James Alexander.

Mol an Ógra agus tiocfaidh siad!

Peader de Bluit

Tá seanfhocal ciallmhar sa Gaeilge a deir, "Mol an óige agus tiocfaidh sí". Tá nath ábharaín éagsúil ag an gluaiseacht seo áfach. Is minic na laethanta go gcloistear á rá, "Mol an Ógra agus tiocfaidh siad". Tá an meoin seo ag fás le tamaill agus an t-aos óg sa gluaiseacht ag iarraidh tógáil, agus béim a cur ar pholaitíocht óige. Sé sin le rá go mbeadh inchur níos mó ag an t-aos óg, todhchaí na gluaiseachta agus na tíre, i gcúrsaí ar leith.

Bhí eachtra mar seo ag teacht le tamaill. Cuireadh cosa leis ag an Ard Fheis i 2006 áfach, nuair a sheas baill den eite ógra suas le linn an díospóireacht póilíneachta. Bhí an dream seo ag cur in iúl go raibh siad glan i gcoinne plean ar bith chun athrú a dhéanamh ar stad na gluaiseachta ó thaobh póilíneacht de. Lean seo ar aghaidh go dtí tús na bliana seo nuair a d'fhoilsigh Ógra plean éagsúil ó líne an phairtí ag iarraidh reifreann a gríosadh sa gluaiseacht. Ní raibh ar an lá, thuill siad níos mó meas dóibh féin in dhiadh sin áfach, ag glacadh le rogha daonlathach an ballraíocht.

Cén iontas é áfach go bhfuil an dream óg poblachtánaithe seo ag iarraidh ainm a dhéanamh dóibhféin mar grúpa cumasach a bhfuil ciall acu leis. Nár tháinig ceannasaíocht an lae inniu chun cinn agus iad féin óg a dhóthain. Ní dócha áfach go bhfuil coup d'état in ann dúinn tá samhradh i bhfad ró-gnóthach ós comhair an grúpa seo gan bacaint le saol leadránach na polaitíochta.

Le sé mhí anuas bhí feahtas ar siúl againne darb ainm ARISE. Bhíomar an polaitíocht óige céana a spreagadh ar bhonn náisiúnta agus idirnáisiúnta. D'éirigh go han-mhaith linn i rith an tréimhse sin agus sinn anois ag tabhairt ár n-aghaidheanna ar fhaeachtas úrnua chun an t-aos óg a mhealladh chuig an polaitíocht shóisialach, radacach a ofráilimid.

Is cinnte áfach go bhfuil cáil an t-aos óg ag ardú i réim. Ritheadh rún ag an Ard Fheis deiridh ag moladh Ógra as an obair a bhí déanta acu le blian anuas. Nuair a chonaic roinnt dúinn an rún sin ar Chlár na hArd Fheise ní mó ná iontas a bhí orainn, ach breá sásta glacadh leis an moladh an t-am céanna. Chinneamar áfach glacadh leis an moladh seo go ciúin sibhialta ar an ábhar nach raibh rún den t-ord céanna curtha chun cinn againne ag an Comhdháil Náisiúnta.

Tá nod ann leis insan rún a ritheadh ag an Ard Fheis i mbliana. Má táimid ag iarraidh go mbeadh an gluaiseacht seo láidir sa todhchaí, tá sé riachtanach go mbeadh Ógra láidir anois. Tá sé seo thar a bheith tábhachtach mar in ainneoin an dian-obair atá ar siúl ag cumainn Ógra faoi láthair níl siad i ngach uile áit timpeall na tíre go fóill. Bí cinnte go bhfuil Oifigeach Ógra, is cuma cén aois iad i ngach uile comhairle ceantar agus cumann. Bíodh sé mar aidhm agaibh ins na míonna atá le teacht an t-aos óg a spreagadh agus a mhealladh chuig Sinn Féin.

Mol an Ógra agus tiocfaidh siad!
