They attack. We live. They attack. We sing. Let’s go on a short walk through Kyiv with me. With a sound on, please.

Excited to share the cover of my history of Magill magazine…. The book is being published by @newislandbooks.bsky.social in September. #magillbook

Something very insular and small minded about this decision… @bbcbreaking-bot.bsky.social

We’re looking for someone to write the foreword for the next edition of ‘The Irish Presidency’! One reviewer described the book as ‘essential reading for any citizen of Ireland seeking the Presidency.’ Contract signed with Palgrave for a new edition in 2026. #presidentialelection #raceforthearas
