Belated as it was, the decision to prevent a violent provocation along the Garvaghy Road was necessary. Now the labour movement must consolidate around the arguments of equality and social justice for all communities, writes DIANE ABBOTT

#France — A video has been published showing police blending into crowds in an attempt to provoke unrest.
As protests continue in France over concrete demands, including increased funding for education and an end to funding the war in Ukraine, far-right groups are trying to discredit demonstrations attended by millions of people by focusing on street clashes. Yet many of these clashes with the police begin after the police resort to uncontrolled violence and attacks, particularly against students.
On this platform, numerous far-right accounts, including football pages, are also doing everything they can to discredit the demonstrations attended by millions of people in France. Whenever they get the chance, these same accounts also promote the propaganda of neo-nazis who attack students.

La vie du pays est engagée dans un moment délicat et compliqué. Nous avons besoin de contrôle collectif.
Répondez à la vie chère en bloquant les prix.
Répondez à la jeunesse en mettant 10 milliards et en supprimant Parcoursup.
Répondez à la détresse des commerçants dont les boutiques ont été pillées en leur versant les sommes nécessaires. Il est dit dans la loi que c'est l'État qui est responsable de la tranquillité dans les cas où elle est mise en péril par ce type d'actions.

Sounds familiar - EU deregulation played off as 'competitiveness' + 'strategic autonomy'.
'Carney has been using the opportunity created by the dispute with Trump to advance a neoliberal agenda under the covering fire of economic nationalist rhetoric.'

As explicit a statement of the permanent arms economy as you'll get from inside the industry...some parts of the British trade union movement will be very pleased

Plein de monde partout, calme et joyeux partout quand les policiers ne sont pas là. Des images que vous ne verrez pas dans l'officialité médiatique.

This upper class public school boy Brit has always been an Hibernophobe.
Now he’s taken to wholesale lies about the Irish.

Absolutely vile.
He defames Sally Rooney as antisemitic - for opposing genocide.
He smears the Irish people as a whole.
@adamboultonTABB is a nauseating disgrace

If Sally Rooney was donating the proceeds of her books to the IDF she'd be fine to sell them in the UK.
Despite their heinous crimes.
This is the dystopia we live in.
All for Israel.

Neither Cartier-Bresson, Banksy nor Cold War Steve could have come up with such an image. Absolutely perfect composition and lighting (even the road signs are perfect)! 😍

One of the tallest lies in economic history told by one the shortest liars in human history.

They currently don’t. The majority of the sector is divesting from research and chasing the “bums on seats” model for education. Even happening in Russell Group institutions

There are few more revolting sights than a careless, over-paid Murdoch hack smearing a principled writer who is bravely opposing the brutal slaughter of innocent civilians, many of them children

Opening line here tells a story.
'To get into today’s International AI Summit in Dublin, delegates had to pass a picket of striking public sector workers, a cluster of protesters, and two layers of security and identity checks.'
