WorldbyStorm - 11:03 Fri Jan 16, 2026 Well, that was a quick contest. Perhaps because no-one, bar one candidate, was that pushed to engage in it? The next leader of the Ulster Unionist Party (UUP) will be the former senior police officer Jon Burrows. Mr Burrows, who represents North Antrim in the Northern Assembly, was the only candidate to put his name forward for the … Continue reading "And he’s won! UUP has a new leader"
guestposter - 10:39 Fri Jan 16, 2026 Gewerkschaftler suggested this a while back and it’s as good an idea now as it was then. Whatever else those of us on the left need some hope, need some tangible achievements to hold on to, something that gives a sense of how things can be made better: ?I suggest this blog should have a … Continue reading "Signs of Hope ?

WorldbyStorm - 10:19 Fri Jan 16, 2026 The Irish Times recently had a piece on scam calls from the UK. I’ve seen an increasing number of them this last few weeks and it’s not difficult to understand how someone might think someone legitimate was contacting them.

Sheila Garrity worked on the former TD’s local, general and presidential election campaigns over the … Continue reading "A Connolly ‘continuity’ candidate in Galway West"
WorldbyStorm - 12:40 Thu Jan 15, 2026 So there we have it: Jenrick out, expelled from the shadow cabinet and suspended from the Tories after ‘irrefutable’ proof he was about to defect to Reform. Kind of messy stuff, not sure it plays terribly well. And it’s odd too that Jenrick would decide to go to a party with a leader clearly cemented … Continue reading "A Reform question asked, and answered by Farage"
WorldbyStorm - 09:57 Thu Jan 15, 2026 Here’s something I noticed this year – literature from local councillors was thin on the ground, to the point of invisibility. I’d say that the local Fine Gaeler was most prominent, then a couple of pieces from one or two others. Was wondering about that. There were the local elections a year and a half … Continue reading "Local politics"
WorldbyStorm - 09:56 Thu Jan 15, 2026 A point made to me yesterday was that Reform is declining in the polls. It’s pretty marked since October last year to today. Consider the graph here on wiki. And there’s a bit of a Tory revival, leaving Labour in third place. And that line is fairly starkly falling. There’s Labour, on 19/20%, Green Party … Continue reading "Same old Tory?" |
