Over on the newsletter: why Musk's intervention in #Aras25 is profoundly stupid, and stupidly dangerous https://t.co/awTT0GMVO4

It is still going on BTW - we're on the 17th round - absolute nail biter
Dublin, 16th Count: Brid Smith (PBP-S) eliminated. Aodhán Ó Ríordáin does well but Cuffe hangs onto 5th. Will Clare Daly bridge the gap? https://t.co/bDiHeNGuQg
