A summit in Portugal last weekend laid bare the growth in a pan-European remigration movement, with speakers who ranged from an MEP to Greg Bovino, a former US border patrol official who, before retiring, became the public face of the Trump administr... more
For a child to access disability services they must have – as their legal right – an assessment of need. It puts them on a service pathway. But the waiting list is long and growing every year. It currently stands at 21,782 which means some children w... more

Hi, thank you for your interview. It is April 30, 2026 and I just feel kind of devastated this morning. I know if PTSD from a violent attack at a doctors in New York City in 2012 and everyone involved in breaking loss make Crimes disappear remains Teflon almost 14 years and prior to that I reported jeffrey epstein and Maxwell in 1996 to the NYPD so it was devastating to see Charles be treated in the way he was here in the USA when I believe he was involved in the cover-up for Andrew and the goal... more
There was far too much judgement and constant snide, knowing comments throughout from Bernice Harrison, she was so snobbish and adding personal opinions than actually letting Conor Gallagher tell a compelling story.

You’re only as good as your worst podcast and the podcast on Tommy Robinson was a disgrace. No discussion of the subject’s alleged Islamophobia. No questions around his alleged drug taking. No pushback on some of his outlandish and inaccurate statistics. No mention of his time in prison. That’s just the basic stuff. It’s not journalism, it’s platforming a dangerous individual.

Subjects are more miss than hit.
Well done on today’s episode, like so many other times you’re shining a light on important issues. This is why I am happy to pay my Irish time subscription. Again well done and keep up the good work.!
