A Westminster committee has recommended that we stop having a First Minister and a Deputy First Minister, and have simply two joint First Ministers.

Biden became ‘Genocide Joe’ thanks to the Israel lobby
by Philip Weiss Nov 30, 2023 (Part I) from Mondoweiss
At Thanksgiving, a friend took me aside and said, “How does Israel get awaywith this?

Health care workers have lost their jobs at hospitals.”My friend is not alone. The upside […]

PAT+JUDE TALK ABOUT SHAMELESS ISRAEL, HOW DUBLIN RIOTERS HAVE DAMAGED US ALL…AND PAT’S BOOK!!!!!!
