The Green Blob hasn't spent countless billions of dollars only to abandon the mission when the going gets tough. Expect the pushback after Reform's sweeping victories last week to be strong and venomous, says Ben Pile.

In the wake of the Supreme Court's landmark trans ruling, is a Gender Recognition Certificate worth anything at all? Not really, says Mark Ellse ? but our muddled politicians won't be in a rush to admit they messed up.

Given the choice between two weak tea bags, Australia elected a weak tea bag, says Rebekah Barnett. Liberal leader Peter Dutton even lost his seat, a reflection of his hopeless deficit in personality and policies.

RNU activists in Ireland, Scotland and America, have over the last few days been very proud to participate in the campaign and 4 day fast to call for the immediate release of Brendan Lillis.

‘Fasting for 3 days is no easy task’, says Ciaran Cunningham, RNU/ Cogús spokesperson, ‘but at least we are able to go home to our families and loved ones at the end of it. Roisín Lynch, Brendan’s partner, does not have that option thanks to David Ford and the Stormont’s Department of Injustice. There is no logic or compassion here and how anyone can perceive Brendan Lillis as a threat is beyond comprehension’.

RNU believe that Brendan Lillis should be at home, not just on compassionate grounds, but also because there are no legal reasons for him to be in Maghaberry, considering that there are no charges against him, yet has his licence revoked. Brendan Lillis is a man who has been confined to his bed for over 600 days, can barely talk, cannot walk and is so weak that tragically has been given days to live. This can only be described as cruelty.

Ciaran continued; ‘the system of a person being ‘released on licence’ should be abolished as it’s essentially a threat on people’s heads and a person can have their licence revoked at the whim of the British Secretary of State’.

The Republican Network for Unity wish to express our solidarity with Roisín and Brendan and commend their bravery. We urge everyone, Republican or otherwise to campaign for the immediate release of Brendan.
