The surge in mental ill health is hugely distressing. That’s why I’ve commissioned a review to find out what’s driving it, says health secretary Wes Streeting

Once again Ireland leads the way in taking on apartheid regimes. First Britain, then South Africa and now Israel. Well done Ireland. 🇮🇪
Ireland will not take part in the Eurovision Song Contest 2026 after it was confirmed that Israel would be allowed to participate in the competition. Spain and the Netherlands have also confirmed that they have withdrawn from the contest. https://t.co/blVQGFh4Kb

The foreign minister of Israel believes he has moral standing to apportion shame and “disgrace” on other nations, incl Ireland, for withdrawing from a song contest. — 70,000 Palestinians dead (est.). — Hunger as weapon of war. — PM wanted for war crimes.
I welcome the decision of the European Broadcasting Union. I am ashamed of those countries that chose to boycott a music competition like Eurovision because of Israel’s participation. The disgrace - is upon them.

He gave away more than eight billion dollars & died with practically nothing to his name. This is the extraordinary story of Chuck Feeney, a man who could have lived in palaces but chose a simple rented apartment and a $15 plastic watch. Feeney built his fortune by co-founding

@CelticClubMelb has delivered what members asked for - a high quality new venue as focal point for events and warm hospitality. There were significant set up costs but the financial trajectory is very sound going forward &break even or better is projected for this financial year.

Can you even believe this @abcnews refused a $85K settlement & instead hired a US law firm with a reputation for anti-union practices to defend it in the Lattouf unfair dismissal case. $2.6m for a law firm with a reputation for anti-workers rights practices! AND THEY LOST!

I have never encountered the slightest hint of anti semitism in Ireland. Israeli elites seem determined to defame our country because a majority of Irish citizens oppose Israel’s brutal attacks on Palestinians.
Ireland should show some humility. Its problem is that it’s infested with antisemitism, not that Israel is calling it out.

In my 44 years in Irish diplomacy, I can truly say that I never heard any politician or official express antisemitic views. Of course, there are people on the edges of our society who express vile hatred towards various targets including Israel but they are not representative.

I'm 64. I'm a British Jew All my life, I wrestled with this question: How could millions of ordinary people have participated in or enabled the Holocaust? NOW, when I see the behaviour of the British politico-media elites in relation to the Gaza GENOCIDE, I think I understand

Must have been good craic: Celtic Club loses $1 million https://t.co/5dKbA4Ksbb Continuing deeply disappointing misinformation from The Age’s gossip column on what it is in fact a v successful turnaround @CelticClubMelb strongly supported by the vast majority of members at AGM.

The club insists that things are all going to plan, but it’s got some work ahead to get out of the red.

Not so Psychodynamic therapy - brief - is a reasonable option
I am not a psychoanalyst, nor am I a licensed mental health practitioner of any kind, and surely bad psychoanalysis is just as bad as all bad therapy, but it seems to me that good psychoanalysis is just light years ahead of everything else, depending on constraints and goals.

Because of the genocide, Rory. Irish people hate Israel because it committed a live-streamed genocide, with total impunity, and then petulantly lobbied Western leaders and institutions to punish anyone who dared protest. It made the world a darker, crueler, more hopeless place.

Hundreds of thousands of Chinese nationals, taking spots away from American young people! Including here in the heartland…like at University of Illinois with 6,000 Chinese! This practice isn’t controlled immigration…it’s a mass infiltration!!!

I wonder if any of these deeply intolerant & opinionated figures have ever had contact with gender diverse young people. I certainly have in my role as a youth mental health clinician and the issue is so much more complex & nuanced than a medieval style black & white culture war.
Be nice? Yes, let's be nice. What is NOT nice is hormonally or surgically mutilating children, cheating your way to stealing women's athletic medals, lying your way into women's spaces, debauching language etc.

⛔️ CRIMINAL. Every Palestinian is a terrorist for the Israeli army, starting with 8 and 11 year old children. This is the genocide logic which the so-called ‘ceasefire’ has not changed one inch. States must impose an ARMS EMBARGO and sanctions on Israel, not empty 'peace plans'.

This makes me very sad, Dermie was always lovely calling North games trying to find ways to encourage us. After our last Tasmania game he spent hours in the airport chatting football with everyone.
Hawthorn great Dermott Brereton won’t be seen on Fox Footy next year. DETAILS 👉 https://t.co/R8QQXukKYO
