Thirty Left-wing MPs have written to Ofcom to press it to censor X under the Online Safety Act. The evidence of 'hate' on the platform is threadbare, but it's obvious why they want to clip its wings, says Laurie Wastell.

The Most Exciting Vote Ever

Have you been as transfixed as I to the crucial political debate taking place as some of the greatest socialist worker's leaders of our time battle for the heart and soul of the vanguard of the Irish workers and labour movement?

Have you been as transfixed as I to the crucial political debate taking place as some of the greatest socialist worker's leaders of our time battle for the heart and soul of the vanguard of the Irish workers and labour movement? Tempered after weeks of red-hot political debate amongst the passionate and vociferous Labour party membership they have come to this point where, in that bastion, that invincible stronghold of the Irish working class, Ely Place, their fates hang in the balance. There, supported by their stout-hearted comrades these implacable foes of the big business class will await the verdict of one of the most informed and ideologically committed party memberships in Europe, nay the world.

Even now, workers are gathering outside waiting anxiously to find out who their Messiah will be, deaf to the pleas of the capitalist lackies in the police to move on. One can only wonder at the pride and pleasure this gith would give James Connolly.

Indeed, anyway, the newsworthiness of this bored rant is that counting has begun, about 3,000 of them voted, first count expected at 5.30 and results later this evening. Anyone else think other than that Rabbite and Penrose have it locked down?
