1. Cicely Saunders was perhaps the greatest Briton of the post-war era: the founder of an extraordinary new kind of institution, which has rapidly spread around the world.
But today, her legacy is under threat. And in 10 days MPs will be voting on whether to endanger it further.

Ireland 🇮🇪
Data centres have been driving up the price of electricity in Ireland and added €1.4 billion to overall household electricity bills through rising and constant demand on the grid. The public are paying the price for big tech greed.

The day following Bloody Sunday, Bernadette Devlin slapped Tory Home Secretary Reginald Maudling across the face on the floor of the Commons. Asked if she intended to apologise, Devlin said: “I’m just sorry I didn’t get him by the throat.” Be a Devlin, don’t be a Badenoch.

This college dropout never had a real job in his life. He's now the Minister for Finance. He failed spectacularly in all of his previous Ministerial roles & left a trail of ruination in his wake. Harris was handpicked to be a politician, RTÉ made sure of that
Handpicked Harris👇

Shout it from the rooftops!!!
AI is damaging students permanently - their ability to think, be creative, question, rationalise etc.
Why think themselves when AI can just give them the answer?
Education is in trouble the world over.

Jeffrey Sachs spoke to an audience in Dublin today.
As the Govnt fails to call out the brutal, illegal wars of the US+Israel, he reminded us of JFK's speech to the Dáil in 1963.
'From Cork to Congo, Galway to the Gaza strip', Ireland must be the voice of the weak at the UN.

You know something is true once it gets "debunked" by the journal.
