Such a powerful speech from @LiamConlon2 today as he proposed Philomena's Law in Commons He included testimony of survivors of Ireland's Mother & Baby Homes, with Philomena's own family in the public gallery A momentous day to see survivors' experiences recognised in parliament
Today I introduced Philomena’s Law to support the 13,000 survivors of Ireland’s Mother & Baby Homes in Britain Currently, accepting compensation from Irish Government will mean they lose means-tested benefits Just as we did with Windrush, we must ringfence compensation payments

These stories are very different but at the centre are two women with a story to tell! Myra's Story - Irish Play by Brian Foster, a tragic story of middle aged homeless alcoholic Myra. Am I Irish Yet? By Kate Kerrigan a funny and relatable story. We enjoyed both 🇮🇪🍀💚

Incredible moment when Israel's occupation, Israel's apartheid, and Israel's destruction of Gaza are called out at the Oscars! Thank you @basel_adra & @yuval_abraham for your powerful voices. #Oscars #Oscars2025

Last night, something incredible finally happened. @maddow did what no other news anchor on ANY MAINSTREAM NETWORK thus far has had the courage to do: and laid out how the Trump administration is doing EVERY POSSIBLE THING to assist Vladimir Putin & Russia. The Kremlin OWNS THEM.

Thanks to Donald Trump and Elon Musk, firefighters who just finished weeks of around-the-clock shifts fighting dangerous fires were given a note from their Commander in Chief: "Please quit." That’s a hell of a way to say thank you.
