Jennifer Horgan: We have set a new standard for what angry men can achieve. It's terrifying Angry men's blockades stopped my mother being with her dying brother-in-law last week. She was not the only vulnerable person whose needs were trampled on

by far the best published commentary on those gangsters who held the country hostage last weekend. The so-called leftist politicians and commentators who had 'sympathy' for them should read this and hang their heads in shame.

There is nothing better in world football right now than seeing teams get punished for treating their goalkeeper like a holding midfielder. Pep brought this nonsense to the game - punished at last.

In Viennese Cathedral, I was queuing for a lift to the top of one of the towers. A mass was about to breakout and people were piously shushing, others were being shushed. My turn to get into the lift, where inside an attendant was playing The Vengaboys' 'We Like to Party' on a speaker. Perfect

Wout Van Aert of Visma-Lease a Bike wins the fastest ever Paris-Roubaix!! Tadej Pogačar is defeated!!

In sport, I usually support the underdog, except when it comes to people like Messi and Tadej Pogačar. It's a privilege to witness what they do. Pogačar almost did something very special today. But Wout Van Aert's emotional celebration will be long remembered.

There have been a number of people making claims to be representing "the people of Ireland" over the past few days. I'd be interested to see these claims being put to the test.

I wonder what happened in Clare? Did the fuel protestors clogg up the streets of Ennis or did they blockade Doonbeg Golf Resort? Let me guess...

Crowing about TACO whenever Trump fails, for whatever reason, to visit more unspeakable horror on innocent people is disgusting. What were you rooting for?

So official WH communication is a screen shot of a social media post with a letter head. This perfectly captures the amateur and improvised nature of this government.

The exact problem the US has right now is the detrimental lack of bureacracy and the surrendering of all power to the personal whims of a fool.

"History will judge-" let me stop you right fucking there, history doesn't do fucking shit, I'm a historian, let's be clear here: elected officials need to do their fucking jobs, right now, before it happens, or future historians will judge THEM. Everyone knows and knew who Trump was.

It would say a lot about Hungary if, in this moment, Trump's endorsement affects the election in favour of Orban. But something tells me, Trump's interference will have the opposite effect.

I'm pretty sure that if Michéal Martin was threatening to destroy a civilisation, whether he meant it or not, a few people would take a notion to stand outside government buildings with placards. Let's go live now to Washington...

Oh dear. Trump's Doonbeg golf resort was advertised at the start of this podcast for me. And they weren't downplaying the Trump part either. I know you're not in control of this, but thought you'd want to know... (or maybe not).

Even a cursory reading of history will highlight the "quick, easy, and cheap" fallacy. Almost every war major powers have found themselves embroiled in were sold on this fallacy. Aside from that, this framing also removes agency from the US.

The world looks on and shrugs as over half a million people are expelled from their homes - again - in clear disregard and violation of every relevant norm. Larger in scale than what Russia did in Mariupol (which the whole Western world condemned).
