Fantastic exhibition to learn about a man who was a master of Hiberno-English, a visionary & a poet who speaks to everyone. The NLI has one of the great collections in Western Europe. Heaney’s poetry is a heart-drop.

Just in advance of voting tomorrow, your reminder not to take photos of your ballot paper and post it on social media.
You can tell people who you voted for if you want but if you snap it you give away security features like the official seal.

This shouldn't be drowned out by the poll.
This is why the far right can never be treated as part of normal politics. They, at core, want to inflict violence on others. They are the real threat to civil society.

1/5 Hard to see any party winning a seat in each of the 43 constituencies; so they then need to win two in numerous constituencies to break into the mid/high forties (and again hard to see any of them winning two seats in more than half a dozen constituencies). #GE24
