@barratree nails this. Cutting VAT is economically inefficient and socially regressive. Why is this government persisting with such an irrational proposal? Will the Government really put McDonald’s ahead of children in poverty? irishtimes.com/opinion/2025/0…
A week ago last Friday I had the privilege, the honour to appear on the @theJeremyVine. Thank you so much once again. 🙏 In advance of the show 10 water company CEOs were invited to appear on the programme with me and debate sewage dumping, the general state of the industry.…

Sound familiar? Fine Gael Ministers before Ireland stood against South African apartheid and banned imports said it would have: "damaging consequences for the country’s international reputation”. irishexaminer.com/news/arid-2037…
"About €156 billion of corporate tax revenue has flowed into the Irish exchequer in just 10 years (including €11 billion of Apple tax money last year). A further €30 billion is expected this year." "But just €16 billion of this tax gold rush, less than 10 per cent if you…

"...and ‘good’ jobs that require them to have three roommates in their thirties..." "They’re the most privileged class of workers ever produced by capitalism..." Pick.
“When you hear about the laptop class—the people with AirPods, college degrees, and ‘good’ jobs that require them to have three roommates in their thirties—this is them. They’re the most privileged class of workers ever produced by capitalism, and they want to end it. Voting for…
It's now clear why the BBC dared not air the documentary Doctors under Attack. It shows beyond doubt that Israel is systematically destroying the health sector in Gaza as part of a campaign of genocidal violence. In the UK, watch the film here: channel4.com/programmes/gaz…

Lower income students are being squeezed out of education in so many ways. This new housing bill has more holes than a sieve. It was easier to access 3rd level education 25 years ago than it is now. Social mobility is important for individuals & society.
Short-term lettings in Ireland are out of control.😡 #HousingCrisis
My graphic shows all whole homes listed on Airbnb in An Daingean (Dingle), County Kerry, Ireland. It's no wonder seasonal workers in Dingle—waiters, bar staff, chefs, and others—can't find places to stay, as Airbnb landlords and holiday home owners are forcing native speakers out…
