Keir Starmer?s Anti-Israel Policies Are Now No Different to Jeremy Corbyn?s Tue Jul 30, 2024 13:00 | Will Jones
Unlike Jeremy Corbyn, Keir Starmer has never described Hezbollah as his friends. But other than that, when it comes to Israel there is now little of consequence to differentiate them, says Stephen Pollard.

Is the Muslim Vote Abandoning Labour? Tue Jul 30, 2024 11:00 | Frank Haviland
Is the 'Muslim vote' set to abandon Labour? With three quarters of British Muslims refusing to believe Hamas committed atrocities on October 7th, it's hard to see how Labour can retain them, says Frank Haviland.

Any idea when to expect the first results for the local elections?
yes i am deligted that people are turning to left wing parties like S.F. Lab and Swp etc.i was particualrily suprised with sinn fein but we wont kno the full extent of their success until all the preferences are counted.
Every seat the government loose is deserved after breaking every promise after the 02 election. Left wing parties are providing people with the opportunity to have a pot shot at the government.Although the recovery of Fine gael is notable.
I dont agree with bin charges myself but Green party`s reasons are purely enviornmental.Fianna Fail wish to transfer the service to big business as part of the F.F.F.F.P.(Finance Friends of Fianna Fail Plan)

Shitty news about the referedum.
I'd just like to inform you that the referendum has been passed by 80% to 20%. Just thought I'd provide this results service, as those who stay glued to this site are unlikely ever to find out the referendum result from it. Looks like the vast majority of Labour, Green, SF and various socialist party supporters voted in favour of it. I do seem to recall that that well-known 'impartial' program, Prime Time on RTE, had a poll 3 weeks ago which showed the referendum scraping thru by 3%in Munster and losing in Connaught. Looks like the worst opinion in poll in history.
Results so far (according to the radio)
Mick Barry got in for the SP in Cork, Ruth Coppinger has been re-elected in Fingal with SF close behind and favourite for the second seat.
4 SF candidates elected so far in Dublin City Council area.
DeValera cooked his mind and gave us that little blue book. almost three million can vote through it. Mike Mc Dowell who's ancestor probably shot at DeValera but went to Blackrock college has with the support of the Irish Government and some of the Establishment added a new law to "Our Blue Book" an Bunreacht.
Electorate:2,712,772
Spoilt Votes:16912 - maybe some "not voted" "-no-".
Valid Poll:1603750- over 21% of which voted
"-no-"
thats over 300,000 people.
we are a sizeable group of the Electorate.
Well done everyone. "we?" hey man, I can't vote! I lose my right to vote when I'm not in the country. RECOUNT! get out the chads, phone Ivana we're going to the supreme court. You won't get away with this you boyo!
You are a sizeable group of the Electorate, I am a member of the diasporia, you are responsible for exercising my interest in "an bunreacht" thank you :-)
Now Minister Michael if really very desperate people come here to have a child rather than terminate it in another jurisdiction will you deport both mother and child?
Mick Barry (SP) tops Cork North Central.
Johnathan O'Brien (SF) tops Cork North (East/West?).
The PDs are ahead in Galway City council, and thgis town was supposed to be soo liberal. Well balls to that!
This party tried to curtail free speech with these littering by laws. As I've ranted before, the majorety of human beings care not for priciples but for money. The PDs are a money first party, which is why they will always get elected.
Expect more cuts in the dole when they win the election in 2007.

Despite your earnest wishes the Workers' Party were'nt wiped out in Waterford although they did lose one seat by a very narrow margin.
John Halligan topped the poll in Ward 3, narrowly ahead of Sinn Fein Euro candidate David Cullinane. John's running mate Billy McCarthy was well behind and lost his seat.
Davy Walsh held his seat in Ward 1. It was expected he would be under pressure from the rise of Sinn Fein but it was Fianna Fail's Sean Dower (sidekick of Martin Cullen) who lost out in the end. The result that Fianna Fail now holds one seat in Waterford City while Sinn Fein and the WP have two each.
In Cork North East Ted Tynan doubled his vote and was in a four way fight with FF, SF and the Greens. He was just pipped by the Green candidate (34 votes) and his transfers helped elect Annette Spillane (SF).
If it wasn't for the Homan factor, I think Ted would be a councillor.
Eoin Martin polled a respectable 450 votes for the WP in Finglas. Not bad for a first time running!
The Wp were hammered in Cork, in each ward in Cork SF beat them. Actually I think SF outpolled the WP in every ward they competed with each other. The WP are nothing on what they used to be, there was a time when the WP had 8 TDs and Councillors all over the country. Now they barely exist as an organisation. Outside of Waterford particularly thay only exist to endorse old stalinist trade union bureaucrats as candidates. In Finglas that is not a good result, the WP had a TD in that area once, to be reduced to 400 odd votes is a disgrace particularly in a climate when even the SWP got good votes in Clondalkin, Dun Laoghaire and Ballyfermot.
The what what?
Did he actually run in the end?
.
Jimmy Homan (WP activist. His son had property seized by the CAB. Dont forget the Sean Garland factor. Last Sundays Panorama had an update on Garland role in counterfeiting $100 bills.
I knew the family well when I lived in Cork Nice people. The only son I knew then (about 15 years ago) was 15/16 and big into singing.
the wp have a short memory when it comes to loyalty they turned there backs on an innocent man who still to this day has no criminal convictions he was tried by the media and denounced by a party he would have died for one time i know him and he is a proud man who could easily have been a dail member if he was as sneaky as ye even bertie wouldnt give statements to the media until wrongdoing was proven .. you lost a good one in jimmy for a cheap bit of publicity queerney etc but dont worry he will bring yer secrets to his grave and ye are not invited with yer crocodile tears .he has his own red flag .....
