The Met Office has proclaimed 2025 to be the hottest year ever ? by just 0.06?C, despite its weather stations having urban heat uncertainties of 1?C and more. Such a claim is utterly laughable, says Paul Homewood.

Khan?s Fireworks Were a Globalist Cringe Fest Fri Jan 02, 2026 19:00 | Will Jones
Clearly intended as a repudiation of Operation Raise the Colours, Sadiq Khan's New Year's fireworks in London lectured us on what "the real England" means. It was painfully predictable, says Clarissa Hard.

A Defence of Nostalgia Fri Jan 02, 2026 17:00 | Andy Simpson
Some dismiss the current wave of nostalgia as mere rose-tinted 'shitstalgia'. But in a world that only ever seems to get worse, people are right to yearn for the simple comforts of yesteryear, says Andy Simpson.

Cuban style "participative democracy" works, we should try it here
Contrary to the perception of Cuba as a dictatorial one-party state, the involvement of citizens there in decisions that affect them reaches levels only dreamed of here in Ireland Declan Bree invite all to a Public Meeting on “Cuba: How A Socialist Democracy Works’” which will be held in the Glasshouse Hotel , Hyde Bridge, Sligo, on this Friday evening the 8 th of October commencing at 8.00.p.m .
The guest speaker at the event, which is being held under the auspices of the Connolly Forum, is the journalist, author and poet, Dr Tomas Mac Siomoin.
Tomas, who has lived in Cuba, is a doctoral graduate of Cornell University, New York, has worked as a lecturer in the USA and Ireland and was a member of staff in Sligo IT in its early years. He has worked as a journalist, as editor of the newspaper “Anois” and, for many years, he was editor of the literary and current affairs magazine, “Comhar”.
He will be pointing out that, contrary to the perception of Cuba as a dictatorial one-party state, involvement of citizens there in decisions that affect them reaches levels only dreamed of here. For example, the radical social and economic reforms announced recently are the agreed result of lengthy and intense consultation involving both Government and the trade unions which, together with other social organisations, such as the churches, involve the vast majority of Cuban voters.
With such an intense engagement with politics, it is hardly surprising that enthusiasm for the electoral process in Cuba contrasts sharply with the voter apathy that often characterises elections and referenda here. Voting in Cuba is voluntary, but turnout for referenda or elections seldom dips below 95%.
How can it be that our media never allows that story to be told? What are they really afraid of?
