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"?

Net Zero is Impoverishing the West and Enriching China Wed Jul 24, 2024 13:30 | Will Jones
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.

Jump To Comment: 1 2 3 4 5Having people like martin cullen in office with their huge salaries and cavalier attitude to expenses from the taxpayers pocket and who are responsible for bumbling huge fiscal fiascos is like waking up every day and being raped financially.
Why do people like him who have really no standing or respect at this stage from the public at large command such high compensation for a bit of gossip? If you make your (huge and very disproportionate to ability IMHO) living from being in the public eye then you should have to deal with being talked about a bit and take it with grace and not waste courts time and chill the free press with your libel cases. This man damages everything he touches. Now he's damaging what remains of the press in Ireland.
This is the Minister who traveled first class to the Olympics in China while the athletes traveled coach? It must have awful for you Martin, how did you cope?
Whereas standards in reporting journalism have certainly declined since my day and no one should tolerate the intrusion of young journalists who have not been taught at Rathmines College a certain respect for their subjects, it is difficult to stomach any government Minister, who would hog the media spotlight at the drop of a hat if he were opening some obscure building or presiding over some impossible piece of legislation, starting to give out about the media. It's like those Z-list 'celebs' who send out press-statements to all the media telling the media to leave them alone! Politicians thrive on publicity just like any 'Big Brother' contestant. Mr Martin, if he does not want publicity nor general media interest, should resign his post and retire to write his memoirs. Politics clearly isn't for him. He was not elected to be anonymous.
He will not change the ethics prevailing in contemporary journalism. And one - with respect - learns to grow instantly wary when a politician these days starts bringing a personal note into his public life. Mr Martin's statement has managed to place his family directly in the public eye in as sure a manner as that for which he criticised the clumsy attempts of the media. Bottom line, though, remains: politics is about publicity and while Mr Martin courts publicity same as any other politician he also wishes, like those 'celebs' again, to be able to control it. This he cannot do.
Of Course the likes of .M.Cullen would seek publicity no matter what the event was likely to be .
Will we the people ever forget the 52 million he was responsible for blowing on Ping Pong Machines
that refused to werk and lest we forget the millions which have been spent keeping the same Ping Pong Machines
under the watchful eye of M.Cullen & Co. at great cost to the taxpayers who are paying top dollar for their keep.
What qualifications did Monica leech have to deserve 1200 euro per day from the taxpayer??
What exactly did she do all day that only she could do at 1200 euro a day?? Leech indeed!!
She certainly sucked the taxpayer dry, amongst others.
Cullen should resign at once for blowing taxpayers money needlessly while poor people freeze and starve after having their welfare eviscerated.
