“Destroy Creation and Creation will destroy us”. It’s almost exactly 10 years since I wrote this piece for @thejournal.ie on Francis the #climate champion and fierce critic of neoliberalism.

GREAT NEWS 🌹
Delighted we have achieved representation for the SDLP within the S&D family in the European Parliament.

I don't know how any US citizen can stand by while the world's richest man is taking food from the hungry, healthcare from children, elderly, veterans.

If you only followed Irish media reporting, you’d assume farmers here were 100% behind high-pollution nitrates derogation.
