I’ve heard it said that Northern Ireland’s economic decline is the result of the Troubles. But they themselves were the result of a rotten political system. And nothing exemplified this more than the office of prime minister of NI. THREAD.👇

At the end of the day, this is what differentiates the US from Russia and Israel. There is accountability, or the possibility of it. It is unimaginable that this would be said in the Duma or Knesset.
This is disturbing.
Republican Congressman @RepThomasMassie just read his articles of impeachment for Pete Hegseth on the House floor.
Below he discusses the illegal strike that killed fleeing school children in Iran.
It's chilling to listen to.

The passing of Johnny McEvoy has to be one of the first times in a long while that someone in the public eye has died and I have yet to see a single mean tweet besmirching his memory.

Have to say, I did not contemplate the possibility it could be Iran – and it makes no strategic sense for Iran to want to antagonise countries who have been neutral in its war with Israel and the US.
France has said Iran's Revolutionary Guards were behind cyberattacks on supermarket fridges in the country last month

Five years on in Ukraine, and this is what concerns you? Not the attack on the school last week that killed more than 50. Your comrade, the hero Finbar Cafferkey, gave his life fighting for a free Ukraine because he recognised where evil lay. Perhaps you should reflect on that.

Never saw this before. Nice spontaneous singing of the anthem, but overall a rather cold acknowledgement of epochal news: no hugs, no cheering, no jumping, no dancing. A tiny flicker of a smile on the deputy speaker towards the end, session adjourned and they all leave quietly.
Die Nachricht vom Mauerfall sprach sich am 9. November 1989 gegen 20 Uhr im Deutschen Bundestag herum.
Man befand sich kurz vor der namentlichen Abstimmung über einen Gesetzentwurf zur steuerlichen Vereinfachung für Vereine. Nach der Rede des Abgeordneten Mischnick (FDP) Abgeordneten Sauter (CDU), Unland (CDU) und Hinsken (CSU) das Deutschlandlied an. Das gesamte Plenum erhob sich und sang gemeinsam die Nationalhymne. Im Anschluss schloss Bundestagsvizepräsidentin Renger (SPD) die Sitzung außerplanmäßig.
Das wird einer der glücklichsten Momente der deutschen Geschichte bleiben. Festgehalten in Wort und Bild. 🇩🇪

As an aside, Annemarie Renger, the deputy speaker, had a life marred by tragedies. Victimised by the Nazis at school because of her parents, her husband and three brothers killed in the war, she then outlived a partner and a second husband, and also outlived her only son.

Dark times ahead for Spain’s LGBT community, with the next PM, if polls are accurate, openly conflating them with paedophilia and sex crimes.

Very interesting report. I found these four paragraphs very salient as they reveal both the extent and symbolic nature of Colom’s achievement. A 30% swing in two years is the sort of shift you see in a British by-election.
This NY Time article is a great resource on how we got to this historic point: nytimes.com/2026/11/08/us/…

According to Wikipedia, this is only the fourth time the gap has been smaller than four points 👀
EXCLUSIVE: The gap between support for Irish unity & NI staying in UK has narrowed to 4 points in the past year. A new @LucidTalk poll shows 46% of voters want to maintain the Union, while 42% would choose a united Ireland if a border poll was held now.

How did I only just find out that in March 1975, Franco’s last prime minister, Carlos Arias – known as ‘the butcher of Malaga’ – met US officials and offered to invade Portugal? WTF?

Russia lost 1,600 men to capture a village of 176, and the Ukrainians have since recaptured it.
The Russian leadership has a total disregard for its men, yet claims to be fighting for the rights of Russian speakers in Ukraine.

‘Everyone’s net worth went up by $3bn’
We could be looking at his biggest lie ever, and it’ll barely register with most.
Fair play to the reporter, BTW.

The Krakow suspect is a 25-year-old Polish citizen fascinated with far-right ideologies and “very radical” and “ultra-nationalistic” views, according to Polish interior minister Marcin Kierwiński.
That’s fucked up a lot of narratives.
