British TV Comedy Has Lost its Class Sat Nov 22, 2025 17:00 | Finlay McLaren
The BBC's Director of Comedy wants to "save the sitcom". But the sitcom is only endangered because most of them stopped being funny. As To the Manor Born reminds us, British comedy has lost its class, says Finlay McLaren.

Is the era of cheap internet surveys over? A new paper demonstrates that AIs can now be "trivially programmed" to answer online surveys in ways that are essentially indistinguishable from humans.

Thank Lockdowns for the Worst Budget in History Sat Nov 22, 2025 13:00 | Will Jones
We're a week away from the most painful Budget in history thanks largely to the eye-watering cost of lockdown. Yet Baroness Hallett says next time the Government must be ready to go harder and faster. This is insanity.

Taxpayers Are Charged for the BBC Whether They Like it or Not Sat Nov 22, 2025 11:00 | Charlotte Gill
It's bad enough that all UK TV users are forced to fund the BBC via a TV licence. But it's worse than that, says Charlotte Gill: millions of pounds of taxpayers' money are handed to the corporation via backdoor channels.

Time to push for a left wing alternative to Fianna Fail and Fine Gael

national | miscellaneous | news report

Report this post to the editors

An opinion poll just published by the Irish Times has shown that the Labour Party has overtaken Fine Gael as the second most popular party and is only 10% behind Fianna Fail. Now is the time to build a left alternative to the failed politics of the right wing parties.

For years in Ireland we been faced with absolutely no alternative to the failed politics of the civil war parties of Fianna Fail and Fine Gael.

At last we now have the prospect of a left wing government instead of continued right wing rule.

Yes a Labour led government will not change EVERTHING overnight, but it is a healthy prospect for Irish politics and activists.

It will not change society and give us the kind of Ireland that we are all striving for. But perhaps it will go some way to making the kind of change that we want a little easier.

Now I think is the time for all those who are serious about change to get involved in building opposition to the right wing parties of Fiana Fail and Fine Gael
