#ISRAEL: The bodies of six hostages were recovered from the Gaza Strip, the Israeli military said. In response, Israeli trade unions called for a general strike tomorrow to put pressure on the government to secure a ceasefire deal.
#PALESTINE: Palestinian gunmen killed three Israeli occupation police officers in the West Bank today and the IDF continued its assault in the territory.
#FRANCE: Paralympics organisers postponed the triathlon by a day over worries about the River Seine’s water quality.
THEY SAY A week is a long time in politics, an adage that rings true in the North as two prominent political party leaders called time on their tenure within days of one another.
Ulster Unionist Party (UUP) leader Doug Beattie MLA announced his resignation, and before the news cycle could even move on, the Social Democratic and Labour Party (SDLP) leader Colum Eastwood MP followed suit.
The step change represents a recalibration of Northern politics, one that intertwines the fates of both the SDLP and UUP. This isn’t just a leadership contest, it’s a salvage hunt.

What an absolute legend to Dublin GAA
What a leader. What a player. What a Dub – the man bled blue. Thanks for all the memories James – getting to see those 9 All Ireland wins is something I (and thousands more Dubs fans) will never forget. COYBIB!
James a true Dublin Legend! Enjoy your retirement. Up The Dubs
Some servant to Dublin… Done damage to us in the Mayo v Dublin finals! …Enjoy the retirement!
Did I here there’s a monument going up of the man who assaulted roaderic o gorman?
@Cole Palmer: No, but I hear you need to go back to school and sort your grammar out.
@Stephen Heffernan: Never step foot in Inis Boffin
@Cole Palmer: ROADeric? At first I thought it was a clever play on words or spelling, RODERIC being from the Green Party etc…but, then I realised you just can’t spell or punctuate.
@Brian Lyons: Barry’s tea better
@Cole Palmer: a brave man who won’t even put his name to his posts. If you can do better than O’Gorman then put yourself up for election. Anyone who assaults someone because they disagree with them has lost the argument
@Cole Palmer: big man talk, maybe you want to start a gofundme page for the s**mb*g that was found guilty of this crime?
@Cole Palmer: Whilst I don’t condone violence, I can understand where the man is coming from!
@Brian Lyons: Pedantic Prat!
@dermot Berry: do you know chippy chips?
Well done James!
That is niche
